Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

People have to understand that Republicans and Democrats are the same thing, its the same serpent which bites its own tail. Its controlled opposition.
I'm struggling to understand your ouroboros metaphor, could you elaborate? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or to tease or anything, I'm asking in earnest.
There's no tease in that and you're right to ask for more information. Republican and Democratic parties, despite appearing as opposites, are actually part of a single, self-sustaining system ("controlled opposition"). Now, that doesn't mean it's always been that way, but infiltrating both parties during many years can set a scene for this to play out perfectly. They don't care about laws, rulers, or anything of those sorts (they are the ones printing money and distributing power). Presidents, governors, etc are not "controlled" as in per se (or at least not all of them), but once they reach that position they are limited by the very system they are ruling, and that system is already controlled by a single "party" (to call it so) which has people on both sides. People who meet and drink at the same table, visit the same islands, do the same degeneracy, so on and so forth.
Edit: Also a good example is AIPAC, they are funding both democrats and republicans. AIPAC could easily be the very serpent we are talking about. What's funny is that AIPAC is basically Israels way of controlling politicians in USA, Israel which has Mossad (Funded in the same year, with common inteligence as CIA). Mossad which shares an astonishing amount of information with KGB... KGB which is Russia's intelligence. When you draw the line at the end, they are all basically in the same boat. The very people that create false wars and send people to the meat grinder for profit.
Russia and USA, biggest "enemies", yet... when it comes to war, they decide to fight it in Europe or Middle East (despite USA and Russia sharing a border) and just so it happens that they fight those proxy wars exactly in countries that do not adhere to either Rothchilds banks or are in the way of Israel/USA or Russia.
Once they have enough technology (which we develop), once they have unlocked key aspects to life, from highly advanced medicine or propulsion systems (you name it), they will massacre the masses like cattle and rule on their own over their own world.
