You're not wrong but I think things have been much worse in the past few years thanks to trumpism and social media using destructive algorithms. I only see a future for the US if a non-GOP candidate wins.
This is sort of an open question to anyone listening.
How long do you think the US can keep the GOP out of winning the presidency if nothing changes politically?
In the past 100 years the longest a political party has held office has been two presidents. So even if Joe Biden wins this next election there is a high probability the Republicans will win eventually.
What happens then?
Edit: Corrected mistake.
Two terms? 80, 84, 88.
Yeah I realized I was wrong. I was looking at the following list: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Presidents-of-the-United-States-1846696
and made a mistake that every president only lasted one term (I don't know how). What I should've said is that no party has lasted 2 presidents in a row. My point still stands though just that it will take longer than just this election year.
