Difference between left and right

[JayJayH 546]

The faucet is leaking in your own house:

(domestic policy)

Far right approach: Convince people there is no leak. Do nothing until the house is flooded. Blame the left for the flood.

Far left approach: Convince people that faucets are the cause of society's problems. Ban faucets. Blame the right for the subsequent lack of running water.

Center-right approach: There is a leak, with a tiny bit of regulation, the market will probably fix it.
Center-left approach: There is a leak, with a little more regulation, the market will probably fix it.

Your neighbor's faucet has a bigger leak:

(foreign policy)

Far right approach: Fix your neighbor's leak by blowing up his house. Blame the left for letting it leak in the first place.
Far left approach: The neighbor's leak is the right's fault. Do nothing and convince people our own leak is worse.

Center-right approach: Propose three plumbers are needed to help your neighbor.

Center-left appeoach: Propose only one plumber is needed to help you neighbor.

How did we get to the point where the GOP is pandering to the far right, and the Democrats are pandering to the far left?

Because people like conflict and enemies and joining a party and hating the other guy lets you blame your problems on someone else.

Far right: #### off. Not my problem. Blame the left when you steal water from your neighbor to survive.

Far left: Rich white males should pay for your plumber. Blame the right for not having paid for your house in the first place.

Center-right: Equal opportunity requires a tiny bit of government. The rest is on you.

Center-left: Equal opportunity requires some more government. The rest is on you.
