Why Division is Useful to Power
Fragmented publics are easier to govern because they can’t coordinate collective demands.
Polarization keeps the base loyal: if voters view the other side as an existential threat, they will overlook corruption, incompetence, or broken promises from their own side.
Unity threatens elite interests: when people find common ground across class, race, or geography, they often demand systemic reforms (living wages, healthcare, climate action, campaign finance reform) that disrupt entrenched money flows.
