The pranksters, the subversives, the tellers of Forbidden Truths that you're not supposed to say out loud are on the alt-right and the dirtbag left.
Meanwhile, liberals are finger-wagging scolds so stiff and humorless that that they make The Church Lady look like Johnny Rotten.
This is not because of any inherent puckishness on the part of the right or any natural censoriousness on the left, but is a product of their respective relationships to power.
Your description sounds poetically perched between judgmental fatalism and formula-derived ideology. Neither does anything to improve communication between a cast of flawed plodders with conflicting plans and ideals, but with a common goal to divorce the seats of power from their current occupants.
Dr Cornel West is the only honest player on the pitch, but many of the evangelical right can’t get past his skin tone, and the angriest voices on the right, anti-communist to the core, just want a new boss, and nothing to do with paradigm change.
So I have empathy for conservatives who despise the fraud, and sympathy for the liberals who are afraid to see the fraud, and who don’t know that the ground beneath them has shifted.
Rule of law vs system overhaul. If the illegitimate present can’t convince enough on the right that there is no value in simply changing the players in a fixed game, then not much good can come from making 45 47. But that appears to be where we are heading.
