The Fall Of The Political Party

<p>The above graphic does not show the full danger of the discontent: almost&nbsp;<strong><em>half</em></strong>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<strong><em>younger</em></strong>&nbsp;voters now describe themselves as independents.</p> <p>This is the political environment of the future: increasing trends towards independence, combined with a leaning by the next generation toward open appeals from &lsquo;outside&rsquo; interests. And with the rise of the billionaire class, there are many elite rich power-seekers who would be happy to step in. Trump was one; it was fortunate for America that he was a moron. The next wealthy Mussolini may be crafty enough to end democracy without anyone noticing.</p> <p>That is why it is important to funnel the &lsquo;independents&rdquo; into a movement that they can believe in and can hold accountable for results. A third political party that heeds their needs.</p> <p>The biggest drop in support is with the Republican Party, which lost one-third of its believers, but even the Democrat lost one-tenth of their number.</p> <p>Yes, there is a case for saying that the Trump Horror has driven the Republican numbers down, but that is not the complete answer, for it has not led to a rise among Democrats&hellip;even the Mango Molester was unable to drive Democratic numbers up.</p> <p><a href="https://barry-gander.medium.com/the-fall-of-the-political-party-4573b6e321e2"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
