How can the US have a two Party system when one Party does not agree?

I think that it is obvious, beyond obvious, that the GOP is led by politicians who do not believe in the concept of two Parties, or of sharing power, or of meaningful oversight of their own Party.


And many of their voters agree.

We have the white racial separatists, a substantial and deplorable bunch, who are still fantasizing about slavery and the luxury life of a plantation owner. Even when their ancestors connection to actual plantation life, if any, was living in shacks and working for the master as a free white worker.

We have the Nazis, and the proud boys, and the various types of deplorable fascists who also dream about the all white country where they would be rich.

We have the deplorable crooks, who see in Trump a fellow crook.

We have those deplorables who see the demographic downfall of the GOP, and are doing all that they can to suppress and marginalize non-white voters.


We have the uninformed and aggressive deplorables who get their reality on FOX news.


All of these groups, for sometimes overlapping reasons, have no real interest in a two Party system.

One Party is working for the good of all, and the other Party is working so some few can get all of the good.
