They will have no willingness to relinquishing government of the economic elites, by the economic elites, and for the economic elites at any time. Barack Obama is the last Democratic President that we will have until the Capitalist Reich of America comes to an end. Tammy Duckworth will probably be the last Democratic Senator who defeats a Republican incumbent.
Democrats have practically no chance of any political gains in 2018. 2020? Maybe 2052 or so.
Republicans might tantalize us with an election that looks as if Democrats have a chance, only to make sure that the Democrats fall short. Then they make the concession "maybe next time". There will be no chance.
We may be becoming an effective single-party state. We might be a bit more subtle than Cuba, but that's not saying much.
The unravelling pattern has been a period of Republican borrow and spend trickle down leading to economic hardship, followed by the Democrats coming in for a time to right the ship. Trump has other liabilities in addition to the poor economic plans. I don't know that the pattern is apt to break.
Kinser long ago championed Trump as he was the candidate most likely to cause a Marxist revolution. I don't anticipate the revolution, but if he runs the government like he ran his campaign, we might get a regeneracy.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
