@Quentel @meowski @brad @BowsacNoodle @lichelordgodfrey @unabomber I’m saying your concept of the Uniparty is fatally flawed, and in such a way it saves you from having to do a lot of hard thinking.
The key is that you appear to have no concept there could be factions inside it.
To take an extremely stark and very well established example, it’s clear the US Deep State is of at least two minds about the PRC/CCP/Xi. “Biden” was just plain bought by them (also see McConnell), see (((Blinken’s))) weakness with them, and (((Yellen’s))) behavior in that last visit was so bizarre they’re running a “she ate magic mushrooms” claim (granted, I wouldn’t put such a trick past Xi/the CCP).
On the other hand, Xi’s Made in China 2025 campaign is as stone cold dead as his Zero COVID policy after we embargoed everything having to do with advanced chips. They’re now stuck at least four generations behind world leader TSMC (T for Taiwan…) for logic, and their state champion for flash memory had just been qualified by Apple.
So there are factions, all sorts of factions. Going back to Trump, he got a heads up from the director of the NSA Mike Rogers that the Deep State was spying on him post-election, or so we were told which resulted in their immediately decamping from the in inherently insecure Trump Tower in NYC.
Going back to my point, there’s a very obvious set of two factions in the Democrats and Republicans. Many of them will cooperate for what they believe to be their common good, or here their common enemy of Trump, but that doesn’t mean they’re otherwise unified unless they’re for example genuinely part of the country’s Ruling Class as Angelo Codevilla broken it down, them vs. the “Country Class.”
Or see how for the longest time to become a Supreme Court justice you had gone to either Harvard or Yale Law School, a record broken when Notre Dame Law School alum Amy Barrett was elevated to the court.
