I think you're seeing a regeneracy that you aren't used to seeing because the bulk of protesting took place during the Bush/Obama years.
I could go with a purple dominant party, purple blue and green. We seem to have a two party environment, so that leaves something vaguely red as a weak opposition for a while, with the blue extreme that cannot listen or compromise left out.
But this has not happened yet. Trump is still dominant. It is as of yet an unfulfilled daydream. Someone who leans red could yet emerge and work from the center. Too soon to call.

Amen. Agreed.

I see the deplorables and the anti fada as a side show. Each group is so much in the minority, so much disliked by the major parties, that I would be surprised if they won anything in congress. You are not the only one to reject them.
