The Fall Of The Political Party
<p>The above graphic does not show the full danger of the discontent: almost <strong><em>half</em></strong> of <strong><em>younger</em></strong> 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 ‘outside’ 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 ‘independents” 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…even the Mango Molester was unable to drive Democratic numbers up.</p>
