It's a realigning election. We're overdue, so it's going to get heated.
My opinion is that the new GOP will be a party animated by the spirits of Andrew Jackson and Theodore Roosevelt. Their focus will be on an "American folk" nationalism that is skeptical of both big government and crony capitalism. Questions over taxation and regulation won't be axiomatic but rather if they make sense. The Democrats will be animated by the ghosts of Franklin Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan. They'll focus questions of, to them, economic fairness economics and disproportionate racial outcomes of certain policies.
I have a feeling that both the religious right and religious left - SJW's will be expelled from their respective parties at some point. We're sort of seeing the beginnings of that now on the right.
But maybe that's too optimistic.
