The brain has multiple areas where vital functions are performed.. I concentrate on two the brain stem or amygdala and the prefrontal cortex.
The amygdala is the most powerful it is where the fight or flight response originates and its function is self protection...survival.
The prefrontal cortex is where reasoning, analysis, computation, critical thinking takes place, but only after the amygdala has done its job and spurred the body to action.
I draw an analogy here the amygdala is conservative, the prefrontal cortex progressive.
The amygdala in our situation is the Republican party, the prefrontal cortex is the Democratic party.
The Republican party manipulates the body politic via fear, rational or irrational, and it is non stop, no time to rest and let the prefrontal cortex (Democratic) party to take a breather and make sense of it all.
It will all grind to a halt, when the amygdala takes full control, and thus the economy grinds to a halt, and people get fed up with it all, but it will be too late for then come the jackboots and voila neo serfdom called fascism.
This war cannot and will not be won by appeal to higher angels,by going high when they go low, by being ethical and consistent, not while rattlesnakes are being thrown onto the dance floor.
