I think you are right. I believe thou that it, before or later, will swing back to some sort of reasonable, liberal social-democracy with progressive tax, free child and healthcare, like we see in many places in Europe.. It does make an economic sense for the masses. The largest problem with that model is the corruption by the officials whom’s “limited” “security first” communal identity get to regulate how the “love” and society is gonna look. They always become a mafia to not have their complacent cowardice mirrored. Sociocracy (as an extension of democracy) probably is the solution. Specifically Sociocracy 3.0
But as glowingdemon say, the 2 party system in place is an agreed responsibility avoidance scam scheme with an right pumping one way back valve based/made of “communist scare”. So in essence it is an secret one party system. Like in China. The next swing back might be the moment for US,(I always hope) or you will have to go yet some rounds. It depends on how rigorous and true your political discourse are to reality vs to the individualistic “right to climb to the top” dream, that seam to be held in so high regard as a driving force in US to keep it being Nr 1. It is hard and brutal to be, and keep on maintaining being “the Empire”.
