In his second term, Trump would have to make great strides in reducing the size of the Federal bureaucracy, eliminating and/or consolidating departments, spreading the offices around the country and away from DC, etc. Maybe then a subsequent well-intentioned but less savvy President could survive. Tough to see an easy path ahead, that's for sure.
You got any better ideas? You do realize, long term, Dems will win permanently. It's call demographics and once Texas or Florida goes blue, it's never coming back.
Those demographics don't grow exponentially and aren't like predetermined to remain the same. Second and third generation immigrants tend to have fewer children nevermind what Trump will continue to accomplish wrt immigration restriction.
The negative outcome that is more realistic and by extension boring is that the system coasts along for quite a while settling into greater mediocrity. But that doesn't let people have action movie fantasies

There is. It's called secession. Red states and counties secede from blue states and counties. A (hopefully) peaceful political divorce.
Agreed 100%.
do you seriously think that will happen or even work (I have a spoiler: it won't)
