You couldn't be more wrong.
As Americans become more ignorant, the Progressive wing of the Democrat party will only grow stronger. Look at the LCD that posts here. Look at the LCD in this thread alone. Multiply that by tens of millions. Not to mention we are literally importing our destruction by bringing in third world citizens that will vote for marxism in a heartbeat.

"won't collapse, it'll just be unrecognizable"
Agree.
For structural reasons inherent in our constitutional system, we will almost always be operating in a two party environment because of our "first past the post" way of running elections, as opposed to a parliamentarian system.
Third parties can arise but they either have to overtake an existing major party--very hard to do--or, instead, their key policy initiatives will be co-opted by one of the major parties. This dynamic is way more likely to lead to the two established major parties changing their constituencies and policies over time than giving way to a third party. For example, many Democrats were pro-segregation then became pro civil rights. Republicans were pro-tariff protectionists, then free traders, and now more amenable to tariffs again. Blacks were overwhelming Republican because "Lincoln won the war" (a little John Prine shoutout) but then became overwhelmingly Democratic.

Oh, I will and will enjoy the daily downfall of MAGA.
The fear mongering right is played out, never to return. Down goes Trump and his cult of Betas.

I'm reading the book 'Peak Human' that examines the greatest ancient societies and the characteristics causing their rise and fall. Main two so far are 'free markets' and 'private property rights.'
Are those 2 things as strong in America now as they were in the past? I don't think so. We're on a slippery slope of stronger govt control over personal freedom.

Trump is failing the US by himself and doing the opposite of what he said he would do.
Im just accepting the bad choices and incompetence he puts America through daily.
If he was America First, things would be different
He Did That, sound familiar?

This was what Republicans thought in the 80s. 8 years of Reagan, George Bush follows. They thought they were unstoppable rolling into the 90s coming off Reagan’s popularity.

If the SAVE act passes, a democrat will never be president again.

I hope you are just a bot - I'd hate to think a living human being could be that stupid and venal.

The implication that the spectacular and repeated failure of their policy will motivate them to move back to the middle is short sighted. They are driven by raw emotion and lust for control. They’ve shown they do anything to maintain prominence… anything

what a lineup showing the actual motivating force is the democrat party.

Also, if the Electoral College is gone and popular vote wins. Republicans will never sniff the white House.
Save Act, if you ain't cheating you ain't winning.

During my entire adult voting life I’ve seen rotating predictions of the GOP or the Dems collapsing forever, depending on who won a recent election.
Our system of government likes two parties. The losing party adjusts, political winds change, and the game goes on.
As long as our system stays in its current form, that’s probably going to continue. We’ve just had a pretty shitty political class for the last 25 years, which is what set the stage for Trump to be successful.
Closest thing to a hard reset that could happen while keeping the system in place.

Not sure if true, very sus at best.
Why is he so scared of voters now and trying all things to make it harder to vote all of the sudden?
Threatening to cancel TX elections, etc.
Nope, not immigrants as he has removed them all, right?

He isn’t. Why do you think brown people are so dumb they can’t manage to get voter IDs? That’s pretty fricking racist.

Yeah, I'm just starting the section on the Muslem Empire of the 600s. They were not like today's Islamists. They welcomed Christians and Jews because that added to free trade of goods and intellectual innovations. They built great libraries and loved modernization. They did not require women to cover their heads. It's not in the Quaran. The restrictions on personal freedom we see today were all invented in more modern times in order to control the population.
