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.
Something something dialectics.
