The congress voting charts show common ground has disappeared between Democrats and Republicans,. Issues are decided by allegiance not merit. After 40 years of increasingly bipolar
politics, it has stretched too far to heal. It’s a divorce. Who gets the spoils and dependents has replaced dialogue.

1, Expect more lawfare.
Parties will give an increased role to the Supreme Court in the near
future. That’s how divorce
works, getting lawyers to sweeten your deal.
2. Expect a third party.
The left and right will find the middle occupied by new forces. Other lovers will be found to please
the populace and flatter the pols.
3. This points thirdly to some civil war. When the social compact is broken,
groups fight to get the upper hand.
There will be less civility in the near future and more lawlessness.
4. Fourthly, this biggies the role of State governments. They are the alternative to DC and some
have better records. They will
start with Supreme Court challenges before going it alone. Again, the role of the Supreme Court
will be elevated and be a flashpoint.
