It looks like Trump is setting the mood for the 1T.

Dms are not progressive any longer, they are the Republicans with a new name.

You can't be serious! How can guys like you post things that are the exact opposite of the truth, and think it can stick? Amazing!

Sorry Eric, but both parties have been coopted -- perhaps beyond recovery.  In Europe, fringe parties are starting to move out of the shadows and may be real power centers.   I assume that Marine Le Pen will soon be running France.  Five Star has a shot in Italy.

Here, we have two viable parties, but there is at least a small possibility that something new can emerge.  Trump thinks it can, and is working hard to make that happen.  The rest of the GOP is deer-in-the-headlights dumbstruck, so he might succeed.  If there is a backlash, the GOP may fragment.  Still, the Dems are solidly in the capitalist camp, so they may become the new conservative party.  The GOP will then be the radicals or reactionaries, depending on how that mess plays-out.

Notice the lack of Progressive alternatives, for now at least.
