Republicans come up with the most delightful fantasies... socialists running the country, queer people running the media, politicians calling to execute Trump. Just for a day, I'd love to live in their nightmare.

There is another universe where the Democrats embraced communism, staged a coup and established Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism. Naturally conservatives hate it, and so in the spirit of pluralism, the government deported them to a universe where conservatives have power.

If you were able to separate out conservatives and progressives entirely and form two distinct societies, I suspect each one would then separate into conservatives and progressives. The wedge issues would just be birth control and otherkin rights (or something) instead of abortion and trans rights.
