The true answer is much more complicated and involves, among many other things, our evolving technological advances.
Becoming a socialist/communist nation, destroying the republic and using the Constitution as toilet paper doesn’t help.
The more the Democrats continue their suicidal actions and the wimpy Republicrats are a disjointed rabble of cowards who try to be all ‘inclusive’ further complicates this issue.
There will be a third party, but if it is to be viable enough to sink the leftist loons, only time will tell.
The more the tax-paying part of the populace continues to worry and wring their hands the more DC resembles Madrid in 1936. If it ever came to that there would be many Castro and Chavez brigades that would side with the American socialists just like the USSR commissars came to Spain to help their brethern.
We’d better face it: America is descending so rapidly that anarchy and rioting is near.
“The more the tax-paying part of the populace continues to worry and wring their hands the more DC resembles Madrid in 1936.”
I think you are exactly right about that.
