They work in tandem with Establishment Liberals, who purposely go to extremes in order to make the Conservatives' extremes look moderate. They are united. Only the gullible fanboys take either of the sides presented by the ruling class. The kleptocracy spends years plotting this fake scenario in the prep schools and fraternity houses.
There is nothing that especially endows liberals with a superior ability to govern except that we have been laboring under conservative governance for so long that anyone else will be an improvement. Or I should say that we have been that we have been laboring under conservative non-governance, or under conservative obstruction with governing for so long.
I have to question your assertion that conservatives "work in tandem with Establishment Liberals, who purposely go to extremes in order to make the Conservatives' extremes look moderate. They are united." I am not sure that I fully understand what you are saying here. I seriously doubt that the Establishment liberals are doing anything purposely to make conservatives look moderate.
The main problem with both conservatives and liberals is that they look at things through a lense of ideology. Conservative ideology is nothing more than an endless stream of excuses to not do anything. Liberal ideology is to do something usually through the government to try to solve every problem in society. Neither is correct all of the time but we have been ignoring problems for so long under our current dominantly conservative governance that the liberal ideology is much closer to what we need right now.
It is inevitable that people will develop ideologies. The world is very complex now and is constantly getting more complex. It is increasingly hard to make any sense of all of the complexity. Ideology is a short cut that allows us to dispense with the work of understanding our problems. To a conservative government and regulations on businesses are bad and if that is what is required then that solution is bad. If the problem is with individuals then government and regulations are good and passing laws to lock up more people is good. To a liberal corporations are bad and if a solution depends on corporations doing what they do best then that solution is bad.
The problems that we face at any time in society are invariably those where the status quo has failed. In other words, those who believe that preserving the status quo, that is conservatives, are always wrong about the problems that we have in society.
The problem that plagues us now is that the Establishment, the ruling class, realized the disconnect that exists between conservative ideology and reality and the need of conservatives for lies to add to their ideology to convince themselves that what is wrong is actually right. That by providing those lies that the establishment could direct conservatives to do the bidding of the establishment, to reduce taxes on the rich, to reduce wages to increase profits, and to relieve businesses of the obligation of paying for externalities like reducing the pollution that they produce or for providing safe products and workplaces, externalities that they believe reduce their profits.
And the establishment realized that they could increase the numbers of conservatives by spreading fear and anger.
