The center stopped holding sometime ago. That's certainly bad, in and of itself, but it may be a precursor to a more universal solution. Brexit shows all the signs of going poorly, Trump is now irritating even many of the faithful. The Orbans, Dutertes of the world are slowly dragging their countries into messes they can't remedy using national assets. So a good solid economic collapse could pull all this down without violence. Any ideas on how that might happen?
Sanders or Warren getting elected would certainly give us a "good solid economic collapse". Whether that would end without violence is another matter.
Democrats stimulate the economy. They provide assistance to people who spend money to keep the economy going.
Republicans always crash the economy. The Trump economy was given to him by Obama, and he is weakening it.
Reaganomics is mistaken. Giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires and removing needed regulations on them does not trickle down. It only benefits the rich.
