I've been thinking about it and they may not have the same fracture Republicans did several years ago.
since the 80s you've had a schism in the GOP. They rounded up Christian conservatives and promised to make the us a church state. They also brought in people worried about big government and told them they'd get rid of that.
they lied to both. Through the 80 & 90s they did the opposite and lost support to the point of having the tea party rise up.
they started moving in that direction and bringing the party back together. Which is where we are now.
democrats didn't change much during those times. The liberal contingent was still liberal, workers were still workers. Historically, the GOP goes a little crazy and workers suffer. As they do, they come back to the Democrats. I think were well on that path with the first few weeks of trumptopia happening. a

Yeah, you know what I'm getting at.
