Divide-and-Conquer Strategy May Not Work Anymore

For decades now, conservative politicians have used tried and true methods to win election after election: the divide and conquer tactics that have been employed since Roman times.

The thing is, no system is failproof. And eventually, the old tricks do run out.

Hard as it may be to believe at the moment, perhaps, indeed, the end is indeed in sight for those divide and conquer tactics, although I think it is also a bit premature to claim that it has already fully come to an end.

In any case, here is an interesting article that should prove interesting. It diagnoses a bit about how conservatives have managed to win election after election, and why this proven policy might just be running out of steam, finally.
