Deflection? Not so much. The two topics are intertwined, and paint an intimate portrayal of the current state of dialogue in this country. How about this.....most of you are fools because you believe the rhetoric of either side. While you sit there advocating for one side or the other, the self-purported leaders love watching the before-mentioned hostility, because you then don't have your eyes on them. Conspiracy? No, you're being played as fools by the powers that be.Just keep looking forward, pay your increased taxes, and don't ask questions.
