The far left and far right have a lot in common. Horseshoe theory is real.

This is because the divide in America is not a liberals/conservative or democrat/republican divide.

The divide is between people who hold an innate distrust of collective power who view govt as a necessary evil and those who have a natural trust in the application of collective power and view govt as a vehicle for good.

The former group has vacillated over time between the two parties but the latter group has always been the overall majority. In the late 60s early 70s, those who largely distrusted collective power called themselves Democrats and it was Republicans who were like, "oh come on, what are you worried about? Hoover is a patriot!!!"

Note, distrusting the application of liberal or conservative power but trusting it if it is your side holding it still places you in the latter group. For example, SOME who distrusted Hoover woke up a few years ago and trusted activities that make Hoover look like a kindergartner.
