Suppose I would describe the Democrat party as no more than a core of Fabians intent on making the individual subservient to the state, supported by a collection of fools cheering their way into slavery. Would that be an accurate description?
My point is that we have become so blinded to the manipulation of both parties that we cease to see one another as rational humans, but instead as enemies to be hated and destroyed. The existing political paradigm.
I prefer to search for what we have in common as opposed to concentrating on what divides us. As a rule we all want the same thing. And we will never have things 100% our way.

I see what you are saying and can agree with some.
What Ike listed is, for the most part, the GOP party platform. It's not just the most extreme or cherry picked. It is the very platform they roll out at their conventions when election time comes around.
That party platform is exactly why so many of us have dropped the "R" from behind our name.
