The age of information has ruined politics.

I personally have never liked the concept of a 2 party system, where trying to cast a vote for a developing third party is throwing that vote in the garbage

It would be much better to have, say, 6 different parties with 6 different ideologies, where some may be very similar but different in important ways. Rather than people being shoehorned into one or the other and then pressured to confirm to each’s hive mind

But a 3+ party system will never happen

Germany had a 5 party representative parliament post WW1. Antifa, which was the largest of the five, resorted to street violence, and an uncompromising brunt upon the political process which drove all 3 of the other parties to consolidate under the Nazi umbrella. Hitler was never voted into power. When all 4 of the parties opposing antifa's bullshit consolidated, the legislature appointed Hitler as the Grand Chancellor.

Yeah there would almost need to be some sort of setup to preserve the parties, because it seems to be human nature to want to form a Zerg to crush everything

the fundamental problem of the weimar republic was that german liberals agreed more with adolf hitler destroying jewish people than with german socialists destroying private property.

Apples and oranges. Parties consolidating under the Nazi umbrella didn't want socialism which was largely being forced upon them by antifa Jews. Shouldn't have overpushed.

Well, yeah. The hegemony should not have chosen to open this can of worms. It will be their own undoing.

Take, for example, the tenure of the last administration. (((Their))) media mouthpieces utilized a wide array of disigenuous and nefarious means for twisting news in an effort to manufacture outrage, increasingly so, over the past two decades that culminated in an all out assault on all frequencies 24/7 and now they want to just turn the range back down to simmer.

The same thing here. Most people I know that are dedicated to trump simply hate left politics so much that they are choosing the only provided opposite to something they see as imminently and permanently damaging.

I agree.

I think there's an additional disconnect because the illiberal left and Trumptards are the only people who can't seem to tell the difference between Twitter and real life. The left you see on Twitter is not real. And by not real, I mean they don't vote and don't do any of the important jobs or make any of the important decisions.

I know there are many who might finish that last sentence with "yet". I have no rebuttal for that other than to say I sure as hell hope not.
