The Democrats don't appear to be falling down the same hole.

They are not rallying for or under an Anti-Trump, but looking for a credible remedy for Trump.

Unfortunately, that is a much harder challenge, given how centralized their opponent party's representative power has become. Centralized power is so dangerous, because it is so effective.

And the Supreme Court's participation in that centralization adds a formidable head wind to any reform.

I just don't see the Democrat being able to take the same road. Even if they wanted to.

I think the future for now is balanced between Trump successfully tilting the next elections enough to continue to sideline Democrats, or attempting to do so and triggering a sea change/backlash that gives Democrats some significant power to attempt reforms with.
