The Partisan Divide on Issues

I don't think C-Xer and his ideological kin are really a majority -- not anymore if they ever were.  I do think they are highly motivated out of fear more than anything else.  On the other hand, we have the extreme SJWs and redistributionists on the left, who have no clue about real life but feel free to spout platitudes and judge others, then go home to their upper middle-class homes and elite colleges.   

If the right holds a huge lead in whacknuttery, that doesn't make them wrong but strong -- not in the long run.  Unworkable ideas are unworkable, after all.  For example, creating an authoritarian state based on extreme libertarianism (at least among the followers) will devolve into chaos of internal power struggles.  That's not good either, but it's not popular either.  Once a critical mass of people decide that enough is enough, it will end.
