A columnist-reading FBvian says he thinks he knows why they argue so often:
They fight because they are siblings. They’re like two kids squabbling for space in the back seat of the car on a long, long trip. Ideologically, there’s not a nanowidth of distance to separate them. Both are urban pastoralists, yearning for some imagined good old day when values were stable. Both are against big government, big cities, urban planning, technology. Schutze appears liberal and Rod appears conservative. Neither is either. Each is, in his way, a creature of the 1970s. Sit them down together on the front stoop with a beer and they’d be buddies within three minutes, and friends for life.
