The co-operative nature of bi-partisanship has died. The lockstep with which the Democratic party moves and the vile rhetoric spoken by their leaders is appalling.
And certainly evokes the images of 1930s Germany and the rise of fanatical National Socialism there.
I have to say what I never thought I would: looking over the events from 1993 to date, the Democrats do not care for America and are trying to tear it apart.
They need to suffer the fate of the Whigs--political extinction as a major party.
What's the point? Since this is a recurring theme, and since it usually takes the form of classism or enfranchisement ---> radical partisanship, (as Plato predicted); I say just consign the whole system to the ash heap. After all, since you can't have national socialism, or communist socialism without democratic republicanism, it's logical to assume that the last leads to one or the other of those horrible outcomes. And given the history of democracy, both in Europe and here, it is arguably an inevitable evolution (or devolution). The system doesn't work, it's not organic. The artificial checks and balances are finally braking down it seems.
