Oh, for f**k's sake, not another "the opposing party might die off" wet dream. If the Republicans could survive through the days of FDR and Truman, the Democratic Party can survive another Republican presidency. Need I remind you that the Democratic Party currently holds a majority in both sections of Congress, something that the Republicans did not even come close to doing during most of the days of FDR? The Republicans were practically a nonentity during those days, and they came back.
My point is is that they were able to do it because the general public was not really even that aware of what was going on, especially not the behind the scenes stuff. I think today with the way the media is and the hatred of the two-party system the media is gearing to help one of the parties collapse.
