Going Forward: How Will This Election Affect the Democratic and Republican Parties?
- Thread starter No1
- Start date
GOP won't change. They're stubborn.
The Democrats will get replaced by younger, more active talent

Without even having a nominee yet it has already divided the gop. I think Trump wins the nominee outright and loses to Hiliary in the general. I think a lot of establishment republicans won't vote for him or vote at all.
Think you'll see the democrats move more towards truly becoming the party of Michael Bloomberg; defenders of finance and capital, with a moderate commitment to social justice and an ever weakening inclination to labor.
Republicans will become a rural and suburban populist party. Animating around immigration. Probably becoming very anti-banker over time.

Both parties split
Democrats will divide into two parties. One will be of big business and corporate interests ( neo liberal free trade, lower corporate tax, socially moderate) that get independents and moderate Republicans and the other will be of blue collar economically liberal populist ideals ( carefully monitored trade, social liberalism, enhanced social programs)
Republicans will split, Moderate Republicans shift to the Centrist party the democrats are in and more reactionary republicans develop a philopshy of nationalism ( carefully monitored free trade, tight immigration reforms, etc)

progressives vs neo-liberals
fascism vs neo-conservatives
The first of those groups in the parties to wake people up to the civil oligarchy we live in takes over the future.

I think it'll be another 10-15 years before we see serious change in the GOP; the oldest/whitest demographic of that party won't allow them to do much now so they kind of have to be waited out.
Dems?
They'll probably always be weak and inept. So yeah, I don't really see this election changing that much.

I see the birth of new parties actually.
