Well the real key on that is to stop looking at it as us and them. Because they are us. When it really comes down to it they generally want the same thing. They just let themselves get distracted with culture war issues. Dehumanizing and othering people who aren't them. Just as we are easily susceptible to stories media and Outlets that dehumanize and other them or tying them as the problem.
They think wealthy Democrats are to blame for all their problems. If we are being extremely generous they might be 10 to 25% correct. Whereas Democrats and many progressives feel it is wealthy Republicans that are to blame. Which again 75 to 80% correct. Which is just how the people who are the problems like it. Continuing to make it an US versus them thing. When the truth is it doesn't matter what party they pretend to be in. It's on the wallpapers that are the problem. And that's something both Republican voters and everyone else can really agree when you get down to it. But that is what would really terrify the people who are the problem. If we were to unite against them.
Though as an anarchist that may just be my personal views.
No war but class war, stay strong friend ✊
