Looking at the state of society, I think things are already fixing themselves. While the media, and partisans, continue to try to push 'left' vs 'right' divisions as hard as they possibly can, the reality is that the true divide in society is becoming much more like anti-establishment vs pro-establishment.

And 'establishment' is not a proxy for class or anything of the sort, but for a bucket of various "values" like: coercion vs persuasion, censorship, geopolitics > all, forever wars, ideological conformity, and so on. And it seems to me that anti-establishment is growing rapidly. And it's not just an America thing, but happening all over the world at the same time.

I don't think anybody can predict where this will lead, other than somewhere different. And given the way things are currently headed, it's hard to imagine that being a bad idea.
