My thesis is: what if that """dem division""" is outside agitation to incite divisions? Much of this insanity is faceless online people thrashing up an online shitstorm, and then that being used to characterize the entire "left".
Conversely that is working to favor the right, in which their evils and wrongs are actively hidden by the firehose of falsehood and simply moving on to the next thing, rather than trying to address everything in good faith.
I feel strongly that the magnitude of unity of the right and disunity of the left is synthetic, or at the very least being artificially amplified. It's the same algorithmic playbook we've been subjected to since 2016, just applied across LLM's and more mechanisms of evangelizing that worldview.
and "sizzle" is exactly how we get into this mess - easily faked and promised up-front, and just as easily betrayed and never delivered on. It's trump's entire election strategy, and we've seen multiple cycles of the pattern of all sizzle no steak... But people keep thinking uncritically and ignore that it's ONLY sizzle because mAnY pEoPlE aRe SaYiNg
