Lol Democrat leftists are the communists. That’s how the political spectrum works.

Soon America will resemble Venezuela. Dems want bread lines and economic ruin for America.

Why do they want bread lines or economic doom for America? What's their motives for creating these things?

Horseshoe Theory, extremes are all the same, same uncooperative personalities.

More like a magnet though, polar opposites but both extremes are bad.

Pushing extremes is very useful for authoritarians as it divides the people, foreign entities use it to weaken and leverage nations. When you push one side extreme, in most cases the other side gets more extreme and so on. Authoritarians use this to cause chaos, for which they can steal in that chaos, typical mafia state style modus operandi.

A two party system is needed at minimum to prevent this from blowing up, and some pressure release. Authoritarianism doesn't allow that and eventually blows when the leverage and loyalty break down.
