It’s hard to say. I think one of two things will happen for sure...
The less likely, but more desirable outcome will be a third party. Most people think like I do, and just sacrifice personal freedoms (become Republican) or financial freedoms (become Democrat) to fight for the things they find more important. I think as time goes on, more and more people will become independent. If that mass of people can form a party that can really change things, I would be extremely happy.
What will most likely happen, is Washington will continue to be less and less efficient, and continue to make the worst possible choices for the American people. In the end, it will mean we will fall for the same reason every county who was no concurred fell… economic collapse. When that happens, there are so many possible reactions the American people could take, I don’t want to try and predict it.
I will say this though. If we don’t do something in the next 5-10 years fundamentally different then the way we have been doing things for the last 50, something bad is going to happen. We cannot continue to operate this way.
