Power of the individual vs power of the collective. That is the essence of the difference.  That is why the Dems are in panic. That is why they seems to excert influence everywhere, coordinated, infesting the body politic.  That is why they can talk the talk but not walk the walk. Every act is geared to one objective: power.  Put simply: they replaced the absolutist king with a tiny group of top dogs. It is un-American and counter to the foundational values.
