U.S. Democrats and Republicans are not truly opposites. At least, not in the way you think.
Before he had power, Donald Trump was a system disruptor. He opposed the elites, rejected globalization, challenged traditional politics, and spoke out against war. He stood outside the system and attacked it from every direction.
But once he entered the White House, everything changed. He was no longer breaking the system. He was using it.
Using state power to reshape the rules, intervene militarily, and pressure allies to serve his objectives.
And this is not just the story of one man or one party.
Anyone who holds power must operate within the logic of power.
In politics, the real question is not who holds power, but what happens when they do.
Power does not change people. It reveals who they truly are.
