I think Americans have to be poor again to learn to to have a shared struggle and rebuild communities in order to fight again. 80 years of being a superpower made a disproportionate portion of Americans extremely complacent. The two party system did not prevent outsiders being elected and end the gilded age before. The Americans who ended the gilded age and elected the Roosevelts would be rolling in their graves seeing their descendants extremely cucked.
