What sort of re-alignment?
Political. I was hungry and ate the pigeon before I got all the details.
Bah J.J. Bah.
It's a roundabout way of saying, I have a gut feeling that politics will change dramatically in the next decade, that the 2010's will look like the 1980's or 1930's, but not this year.
So we will finally have three parties in the US:
The Greens
The Democrats
The Social Democrats
Good call 
I think it will be something dramatic, but I don't know what. A few possibilities:
1. An end to "racial" politics. (Good)
2. A more authoritarian culture. (Probably bad)
3. Less religion in politics. (Good)
4. More religion in politics. (Bad)
5. A consensus on environmental issues. (Probably good)
6. An end to "class warfare" politics. (Good)
7. Division into class politics. (Bad)
I don't know, but these are options.
No to 1, 5, and 6. Yes to 2, 7. Unsure about 3, 4.
