Since we do not have any viable opposition to the Trump-Musk alliance, I suppose we have rule by 2 people plus all the muscle they've hired. While I love seeing DEI, the trans agenda, CRT, and open immigration get the axe, I also am concerned about what seems to be shaping up as a technocracy, or techno-feudalism, as many of us have been warning about for years.

The Dem party was never a good party, although perhaps the 2 party system somewhat balanced each other out. But not since the 1960s in any effective manner that I can detect. It just got more and more "uniparty."

So... the future ought to be interesting.

Too polarized, it's not a Dem/Rep thing as the rhino wing belongs to the uniparty. It's the 'other' as in the independents, unaligned, whatever the various states give as a name tag for those who won't fit neatly into the two-party narrative.

Result is a breakup of some sort. The 10th Amendment was done in rather well in the 1860's. If it resurrects, it could be a building block for some manner of confederation using the Constitutional Republic as the model.

The board game flipper states, particularly from Maryland up to Canada and the Left Coast won't play very well.
