I would think that a major disaster like COVID-19 would bring about broad-based coalitional politics based solely on addressing the crisis, but neither party has presented the kind of leadership that actually changes the status quo.

Revisiting this, it's sort of a philosophical question- how can we find consensus in a heterogenous and post-truth society, where our globalized service and information economy has lost the unifying faith in linear and material progress that industrial societies like China have? I guess it could be America rallying behind government programs addressing an immediate crisis like in the 1930s, maybe a Green New Dealer administration after enough Americans are made uncomfortable by climate change, but I'm not sure we're ready to be that "unironic" yet if ever.
