Comparison of GOP v Democrats to War philosophy of Sun Tsu

Things are not what they seem.  To me, it seems that the GOP is weak.  The Democrats are appearing strong.  Is this the way it really is, or is it a projection given that is deceptive of the true state of affairs vis-a-vis the two major political parties in the US?

For if this political conflict, if it actually is one, may then be compared to the writings of Sun Tsu and The Art of War.

Sun Tsu said that warfare is all about deception.  If you are strong, then appear weak.  If you are weak, then appear strong.  If you are few in number, appear to be many. And so on.  What we see isn't necessarily what we think we see.  It's all about deceiving the enemy.

Who's the enemy?  Are we the people the enemy, or the two parties enemies of each other?  Quite a question.
