Trump creating the Patriot Party, republicans trying to reimage themselves from him, democrats being Dems still would break the system. Enough of his base would gravitate towards him, and give an excuse for more outright racism and whatever else they can find use for it. It would be an actual 3rd party that could fuck up the system enough to allow more parties in. Left could take advantage maybe?
Best case scenario, honestly is Patriots splitting the votes in the midterms, and republicans suddenly strongly advocationg for ranked choice voting.
Most likely scenario is Republicans being like "nuh uh, we are more than racist enough" and the 2 patrio party candidates that win seats immedately joining the republicans.
Changing the voting system isn’t something I thought of. But I dig it.
