Hank mentioned progressives. Get ready, sters, because the backlash from this administration, whether it lasts 4 years or 8, is increasingly likely to be a hard swing in the far left direction. This is how Capitalist societies become Socialist; the harsh consequences of extreme nationalism (I'll call it Trumpism for effect) always lead societies to snap back in the other direction... Hard.

I'm not much more excited about the prospect of Socialism than Hank. I think healthcare should be socialized, but that's about it. That said, young progressives are winning primaries against more moderate Democrats, and that's solid evidence that the backlash is starting.

We need a moderate, third party, more now than ever. What made America great was an attitude that we were all in this together. Now, our attitude is that we all know best and that it's our call to force our ideas upon those who disagree. People who don't like the way this is headed (and want to avoid seeing it snap back in completely the opposite direction) need a platform. When both sides start calling for "civility," it's a sure bet that NOBODY is exercising any. Subsequently, given only two parties, divided we stand, with not much hope for a return to a great America.
