I decided to read his take as less extreme than it is, but both sides do want to keep people fighting over semi-pointless social issues.

Now of course no matter how much bickering there is, there is still alot of gridlock on real important policy issues, too.

But that is just internal stuff, the external actors make it way more complicated, and honestly, their stances are often just what they think will harm their enemy the most.
