No, the crisis isn't just a result of different people wanting different things and fighting over them.
A crisis is the only way the unraveling can be resolved. We wanted the revolutionary war, and the civil war, and the great depression and World War II, as these let us put the country together and formed the next high.
We want this crisis, and we're going to get it no matter what it takes. We'll accept any form the crisis could take if necessary, but fault lines in society result in us being pulled towards particular potential crises.
Republicans are pulled towards one sort of crisis conflict, Democrats towards another, and neither has anything to do with money or good opportunity.
