It's possible. If the Republican Party died, that would leave the Dems in power in a virtual single party state while the left coalesced into a unitied party. We've see this type of think before in American history. One party tramples the other, then splits to form the new two party system.
Biden could do it, if he were willing to purge the Trump faction of the Republican Party, while inviting the moderate ghouls into the Democrats. However, with centrist Democrats as the new right wing, who would stop the country from sliding to the left? No one!?!
for every principled Marxist-Leninist, Maoist, or Anarchist in the united states there’s 10 Qanon weirdos, 20 ancaps/libertarians
doubt, otherwise their shit wouldn't need to be astroturfed to hell and receive manufactured consent in the form of equivalent media coverage for street action with one-tenth of the numbers of left or left-adjacent street action
no doubt on the 30 bread-and-butter types though. rest of your analysis is spot on too
I mean even if there was a succdem labor party it couldn't get enough traction geographically to meaningfully challenge the Democrats, which it would have to because of the Senate and the electoral college, because too many people in the burbs and in the sticks are brainwormed into culture war bullshit. If the Republican party failed today its factions would just end up reconstituting themselves in a different arrangement because of it, like, say, with the concerns of the libertarian right placed above the evangelical right.
