I beg to differ. It's really quite simple. Just ignore all of the peripheral BS and read the constitution, declaration of independence and bill of rights.

Now here is the trick, ignore every fricking thing any ACLU has imposed on the constitution, laws against life, laws against morality and few others. Whoever most embodies those principles is your best choice of whom to follow.

The realization that people on both sides are political ideologues -- uncompromising and dogmatic to their loaded ideology.

Politics today is what religion was 500+ years ago.

-Political parties unify large groups
-create/control the echo chamber
-outline and prapogate values/lifestyles
-seperate populations by values/lifestyles
-cannot seamlessly co-exist with other "parties."

Look at the world today. It's the capitalist "religion" vs the communist "religion" for global power and influence. A Cold War due to assured mutual destruction, but the good vs evil narrative for both sides.
Same goes for political differences domestically.

Like Rome based its empire on spreading Catholicism, USA/UN and Russia/China spread and unite through capitalism and communism.

People should research Catholic vs Protestant in 17th century Europe. In a less educated era religions served the purpose political parties do today.

This is not a shot at religion.

The popularized libertarian thing is just a different kind of dope-sick.

For many it's just fashionable - like a younger person getting an Audi because their dad had a Mercedes. It's also been grossly manipulated and altered from an-socialist to an-cap ideology -- the latter having many philosophical 'easy buttons' that are palatable and seemingly indestructible vs a philosophy that is seemingly contradictive before the heavy cognitive lifting required to better understand.
