You're confusing misdirection for divide and conquer. Divide and conquer would mean the US splits up so China can be the superpower.

Yeah the parent isn't fundamentally wrong, just misusing a term.

"Wedge Issues" would the political science nerd terminology, e.g. abortion, guns, or trans rights, which serve as a lever to push political action.

It means splitting the country politically so that it is impossible to generate opposition to the leadership.

It's pretty clear that that is the modus operandi.

Absolutely anything to distract folks from class identity. I'm 50-50 on whether or not the intergenerational conflict articles[1] are part of a psyops program.
