We are quickly headed to a one party political system.

We are close.

I use this analogy:

The political system is becoming like pro football. It used to be 2 distinct leagues: National and American.

A few years ago, they merged into one league with two 'conferences': NFC and AFC.

Based on their actions and policies on major issues the last dozen years, it becomes more difficult to distinguish Democratic from Republican.


The question becomes: who do you prefer to bend over for -- the Democratic Conference or the Republican Conference?

Personally, I prefer the Mexico analogy. They had a one party political system for more than 100 years. See what it got them?

You could say that the movement toward a one party system in the US is really just part of the Mexicanization of America.

Of course, they had one party systems in a lot of other notable places too, like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Maoist China.
