The balance of power between the Republican party and the Democratic party in the United States was rather equal in the past two decades. The leadership of senate and house of representatives shifted several times, and their majorities were always hair-thin.

Even if, as you claim, that dissent is expressed behind closed doors to manage public perceptions, doesn't that make it less democratic, as that implies that only few people decide the politics of the conservatives? Doesn't this lack of openness impede the growth of the political ideology and increase authoritarianism?
