all ways to divert the "voltage" across elite and commoner classes which are the real source of this tension.
I'm saying that wealth inequality creates something quite comparable to 'voltage', this creates a tension which WILL get released (because physics). But due to active (social-)technological management this tension is getting re-focused into blue Vs red bi-partisan politics, as well as other expressions of winners fighting losers (including gender 'equality' tensions, trans and transphobics, etc..)
