I'm pretty much of the belief that America was a a freemason experiment with deception from the very beginning. Based on duality and a false dichotomy-

There are always 2 sides that will split the people and they ate always false choices

Democrats vs Republicans

Capitalism vs Socialism

Of course there are other choices but they don't make them available to us. They figured out that a dumb population loves duality…ie people love picking one option against another
