At this point, it'd probably take the civil war era republicans to turn this shit around, but I wouldn't hold my breath. You'd need to make a 'progressive' movement that is similar in every regards to the current one and its tactics, but based on real shit with real people. Who are going to be too damn busy living life the best they are able, enjoying the wealth of our ancestors while it exists for a few more generations. Ride the tiger, enjoy the decline, stoicism in the face of insult and death, blah blah blah.
