  • What is the future of American politics? The United States has under gone periods of political change and realignment creating 7 ages of American history, but now the U.S is preparing for its next great change. With the 2024 presidential election fast approaching, and likely pitting Donald Trump and Joe Biden up against each other in a rematch for the presidency, we have to ask ourselves which way is America going? Who will win? Will the next few years see American politics dominated by the Republican party or the Democrat party? And what exactly will be the defining ideology of either party? The political parties of the U.S are, of course, not monolithic, but coalitions of various factions, and it's clear to see that new factions are slowly taking over both parties, but the democratic and republican parties of the future may have more in common than they think, as with every era of American politics, more than party dominance, there is ideological dominance, the influence of an ideology across both parties with slight variations. What exactly will be this new unifying ideology for the American left and right in the next few years?

    We can never truly speculate how "Republican" or "Democrat" the future USA will be because the definitions, ideologies, and perceptions of what "Republicanism" and "Democracy" mean will change in the coming years, as they always have. Perhaps a better question: how culturally conservative or progressive, how economically capitalist or socialist, or how governmentally authoritarian or libertarian will the USA become? They're three separate questions because they really require three separate answers.

      My opinion if a reformist nationalist faction be it Republicans or Third Party takes control, mostly prosperous domestic future. But greatly diminished global power projection ability as reasonable trade off.
      Meanwhile if an establishment backed “woke” or residual neoliberal ideology infused Democratic Party faction wins. No likelihood of meaningful reform neither economically nor politically. As the current Democratic Party is inherently hostile to reform in a manner similar to the late Soviet hardliners under Gorbachev. Best case scenario America splinters into semiautonomous and moderately stable/cooperative successor countries after a prolonged period of instability and interstate wars of succession. Worst case scenario it becomes a backwards third world dictatorship bordering on increasingly more totalitarian rule.
      Either way both situations still result in the official death of the Pax Americana no matter what! That’s my prediction.

      Well control of both parties isn’t really true. Control of neither party is moving that way. With the Republican Party you could argue it’s moving that way as the populist wing has real influence and a few leadership positions in committees but in the actual leadership or in the senate there’s very little of it. It’s the base that is fully populist. But for the dems, their progressives have nothing.

    As a libertarian, I'm puzzled by the talk of "democratization". Yes, the facts you stated are correct. The vote has expanded to almost everybody. But ballot access is still greatly restricted. It is still quite difficult for independents and third parties to get on the ballot without massive amounts of money. So what does it matter if you have the "right" to vote, if you still cannot vote for the candidate of your choice? Controlling ballot access is more powerful than having the vote.
    Of course, things get really bizarre when the party leadership lose control over their parties. Being a Democrat or Republican means less now than it used to, and it matters more which specific candidate you support. Bernie or Hillary? Trump or Rand Paul? The Duopoly has failed to maintain control, but it has still resulted in significant numbers of Americans being effectively disenfranchised because they cannot vote for the candidates of their choice.

    American politics for the next couple years is, in my opinion, going to be a lot of people who can survive in the new way information is widely available, and those who can’t. If you didn’t have a smartphone by 2014, you are so far behind in tech knowledge it’s terrifying.
    People still need help cleaning their computer of viruses from younger family members, and it’s those same inept with tech people expected to make policy for a country that desperately needs to make tech more than just Silicon Valley style capitalism.
    When AI is potentially threatening to politics because of stuff like deepfakes not even 3 years into the decade, there’s going to be a massive change in how people discern between real and fake information in ways none of our ancestors ever had to do. Not everyone will be able to make that switch though, and it’s especially obvious seeing people 65+ on either side of the American political divide. They’re some of the most unpopular but long serving politicians. DeSantis and AOC aren’t popular the way Trump and Biden are, but they know how to actually address modern fake news in ways older politicians either don’t or think pushing more of it is a good thing for everyone in the long run (it isn’t).

    Democratization and Liberalism are two very different things, and the Right needs to realize this and fight this false equivalency tooth and nail. A democratized entity is neither liberal or illiberal until they vote in favor of one or the other. The only truly liberal safeguard is a constitution that strongly defends individual rights, otherwise a democracy will gladly vote their liberal/free individual rights away, or vote in executive and judicial entities that will subvert a weak constitution to misinterpret their rights.

    With the declining quality of American life, inflation, high living costs, social and economic inequalities, we are in a pretty bad spot. The situation resembles the turn of the century america or Weimar germany. With that I expect america will go one of several ways, as follows:
    1. We Get a Theodore Roosevelt style progressive who will roll back the declining quality of life in the nation.
    2. The far right to take control of the country.
    3. The far-left to take control of the country.
    4. America could break up into multiple smaller nations each with their own ideologies ranging from far-left to far-right, and everything in-between.
    Of course, I believe the first option is the most likely, but, I never know.

The libertarian party is the largest third party and is seeing a lot of growth as people get fed up with both parties.

      I'd say this is true, but I don't see it happening in reality. We're going to continue seeing conservative states start swinging further left as more people from the very far left and very populated Democrat states start moving to those conservative states. Another 10 million Californians could move to North Carolina, or any other red state, and that red state would flip completely and become solid blue, and California would remain solid blue, for example.
      If the Republicans don't start catching up in their social policies, they're going to fall behind, and if they start falling behind a lot, they're going to be forced to change. Maybe the parties will become more polarized for a while, but when the Republicans start to lose a significant amount of their electoral power, and they begin to need to win a significant amount of swing states to get into the white house, while the democrats reach a point where they only have to win one swing state, maybe at most one swing state, for the presidency, that polarization, atleast on the right, is going to just fall apart and force the party to reconsider their stance on key topics, such as lgbtq rights. In my opinion, it looks like as history marches forward, the left is going to be able to become a lot less compromising on social policies, while the right has to start becoming a lot more compromising and to start giving into demands for increased freedoms and mental help for lgbtq youth, increased acceptance of illegal migration and migration in general, abortion rights, etc etc.

      They'd have to somehow take over the media and messaging.
      Until that happens, the only way they win on social issues is by letting democrats suffer under what they have wrot for themselves and see if they learned their lesson.
      The right lost on this regard solely because they don't have the platforms and institutional power to keep up. The media is mainly controlled by left wing and pro political establishment figures. We're in a place where alot of people's positions on social issues come from the top down through the media, and people insulated from these issues first hand don't know better, and won't know better until their communities are ruined by what they were lead to vote for. They vote they way they do because they were told it was virtuous by someone in the media.
      Until this narrative control by a single political interest is broken, people will only learn the hard way. Hopefully before it's too late.

      And while that may sound scary to you take this into consideration:
      The supreme courts Republicanization is what eliminated affirmative action and shot the government's ability to blackmail facebook and Twitter in the face.
      Also it's something that is practiced more or less in other countries: here in Romania a new party means new civil servants since the party has no time to bicker and be stopped by the current administration.

With the high debt, business and economic matters are going to come crashing home to impact the American way of life. Which ever party can present the most convincing solutions to those future problems will win the electorate. That means it will be a party who has to be pro business in regards to promoting growth, wage growth, and employment. Neither current parties' platforms go far to encourage all three.

The future of American politics will be dictated by the more centrist Independent voters, which is currently 49% of all voters and growing while the two corporate parties are continuing to lose voters. Independents tend to lean left on social issues and more right on fiscal issues. There is also an emphasis on focusing on dealing with domestic issues over foreign entanglements. Both of the corporate parties will continue to fade while issues based Independents will start to dominate, forcing badly needed changes on government and society.

Europe mathematically simply will collapse within that time frame, because there is not enough young people making money to pay for the older people's pensions, and everyone else on welfare. The US has printed, since the pandemic, literally, trillions of dollars, and no, this is not an exaggeration, more money has been printed in 3 years than in the entirety of the last 200 since the foundation of America. I suggest you prepare your buttyhole, because the cultural left wing as we know it will simply not survive the backlash.

      @@icantcomeupwithnames469 if you were slightly smarter maybe you'd realize the entirety of the anti establishment vote in western europe goes to anti-immigration conservative parties for a reason; the left cultural paradigm is extremely entenched in the political and economic establishment(banks), and is rejected because of it.
      Muslims, which are the literal beating hope of the left wing in europe, are extremely anti lgbt and anti feminism. If you think otherwise, then you're literally just rejecting hard statistics. The only reason they vote left wing is because they don't have enough of a vote to make their own muslim parties -- Yet. But they will, in very few years. And once that happens, the left wing parties in europe will be left with an extremely small amount of the vote (10 - 15% of the population at most ). No matter how you look at it, the cultural left cannot survive the turn of the decade, unless something incredibly unexpected happens to occur. America will follow suit after the backlash over what is going to happen in Europe reaches there. Keep living in the clouds tho, you yourself know you have no possible counter arguments about how the F- is the left going to survive this.

    I've seen a considerable increase in both American Catholics and American monarchists, very often they overlap. In my view America is likely in for some interesting times as a noticeable portion of the youth actually oppose the national myths, whether because they are commies or because they are anti-enlightenment. On the right in America I basically see the Calvinists supporting a type of Christian nationalism and the new right, or Christian resurgence/revival/great awakening or whatever you like to call them being fundamentally anti-liberal and anti-democracy, both these groups have strength that conservatism doesn't by actually being ideologies driven towards actual things and not just a cult of the past.

      @@wargriffin5Some younger Catholics are repulsed by the slow move away from traditionalism in the Church, and a few have called for a society-wide return to tradition, up to and including monarchy. You can look it up. For example, priests under the age of 30 are far, far more ideologically conservative than those over 50. Since people with these ideologies (not including the priests, of course) tend to have quite a few children. You could imagine a future where this belief becomes more common. I think the original commenter meant to say “Catholic” instead of “Calvinist.”

      For most of american history the country was run by people who explicitly did not want everyone to vote. The idea of everyone being allowed to vote regardless of land ownership, gender, race, etc. is unfortunately rather modern. For example president joe biden grew up with legal segregation and a voting age of 21. Do you think he's going to be the president to give felons the right to vote?
