Actually, my APUSH teacher agrees that historically it is time for a new party to arise and predicted this months ago. Every few decades a new party is supposed to replace an old and I believe it may be time....
"Every few decades?" When's the last time a third party had any real shot going anywhere? 1912?
We are overdue actually. That was her point.
Nah, I think the party system is set in stone. Perhaps in a thousand years, the GOP will embrace transhumanist socialism/civil rights for AI and the Democrats will campaign on Paulism/Trumpism perhaps, but both parties will still be here even in name.
As soon as most self-professed "deficit hawks" acknowledge to themselves that a dollar of tax cuts affects the deficit the same as a dollar in increased government spending, as change their policies accordingly, it might happen.
