I don't think it's the fault of the left or right. It's just the natural order of things. No government lasts forever. I don't think we are so superior that we can keep it from falling apart here as well. Our experiment in democracy has lasted a couple hundred years and it has been a good long run so far. Of course we should try to hold it together as long as possible and maybe we can beat the odds. But people are people and we are getting more divided even though times are not that bad for most of us. The true test will come when really bad times show up again.
