Hate to break it to you, but there will always be those at the top, made up of Republicans AND Democrats (sacred to you, I know, but truth, nonetheless), who will use the "poor" and "stupid" to do their bidding and entertain them. It's called "football" in some circles and "war" and "food stamps" in others. When the magic 7 finally realize that the .01% include both Republicans and Democrats, and they ENJOY the power of MANIPULATION of the sheeple, perhaps their attitudes about a lot of things will finally change.
Enjoy avoiding that scale and your soap opera. Sorry, but now that I understand who the magic 7 actually are, I couldn't help myself.
