Allow me, briefly, to irresponsibly speculate on what you might think about American politics today. You feel that the system is broken, rigged in favor of a tiny elite, but also under attack by an ignorant public that wants to tear everything down. You feel that deep-rooted systemic forces oppose, in their very constitution, the change that would bring about a better society. Though the power of the system is pervasive, it often acts invisibly -- and is thus all the more insidious. The "other side" by turns upholds (the bad parts of) and recklessly undermines (the good parts of) this system. They claim not to see the system, even as they uphold it. You cannot agree with them about basic facts.
