"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." -John Adams

From the mouth of the man himself. We are tidally locked in a battle between two ideologies. There’s little hope for a true disruption barring complete anarchy and worldwide chaos and turmoil.

There is a battle between two idologies, but only one party with two branches both of which represent the same idology.

You took my meaning appropriately. More importantly, John Adams never discerned a difference in ideology between those two parties, just their existence. We are in the situation exactly as he explains where both D & R are holding the reigns of power on the progressive left while “We The People” are trying to wrest control of our government from the right.
