We don't actually have two parties today. We have two rival factions of a liberal party.
There isn't any real difference between Democrats and Republicans on big issues, they are both pursuing the same goals and their main squabble is over which group gets to take credit for it.
They are both pushing big government. They both want amnesty. They both want socialized medicine. And more than anything they both want the power and money that comes from running the federal government.
We are in roughly the same place the Whigs were in the 1850s when the northern conservative Whigs formed the Republican Party and the rest (including all southerners) became Democrats. The Whigs ceased to exist almost overnight and the nation stayed two party.
Excellent post.
Unless people let go of their noses while voting and think outside the box the parties put us in we won’t vote our way out of this.
The GOP today serves only to block conservatives from power.
For the Republic to survive the GOP must die.
