    A true rival conservative party, one not devoted to religion, could break through if one existed. I do think the shift is actually left and progressives will form the next second party and the Democratic Party will be the moderate / right party in the future.

      Yeah, there’s room for something like the republicans were as the Whigs collapsed to rise, but if not there will likely be a democratic splinter into something like a labor/progressive party.

        I think Gen Z would like that, but it will be a tough road. The GOP looks to die with Boomers and it won’t be replaced. Libratarians might get MAGA, but it will continue to be a third party.

      As a person who would be on the increasingly-poorly-defined “right” in this instance, that sounds dope AF.

        I’ve been planted in the center for a long time, but an anti business left is growing. I personally don’t see long term success, I do see young support for breaking things up.
