      Exactly. Ideological flip. Democrats and Republicans were firmly on opposite side of ideological divide before they switched.

      Third party and independents used to be more prominent in congress and senate up until the early 20th century. I think mass corporate media brainwashed people to think within allowable and carefully curated discourse that they can only elect Democrats or Republicans. Hence, manufactured consent.
