The good thing about all this is that once Trump is done, and one day he will be done, the next guy who follows can finally build something good from the ground up
Chabging how American elections work, for example, has always been impossible. After this shit show, the pieces that are left will be broken enough to rebuild something good

Will they though? Maybe, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Americans will NEVER accept more than two parties.
Sadly it’s what you need so that the whole country won’t flip-flop every 4 years. One 10-15 congressman party who the major parties need to make concessions to
I think no more than two parties would dominate, even in a ranked choice system. But they would evolve more representatively: party platforms are shaped by issue polling, with the ballot box being both the ultimate poll but also obscure on what exactly the detailed driving issues are.
Ranked choice voting would give single-issue parties a real seat at the ballot box, and enable the two big parties to more accurately adjust their platforms to target voters who first-choiced a little party and second-choiced one of the big ones.

With ranked choice voting, they would.

Right now they don’t have more than two parties not because they don’t want to but basically because they can’t.
Once that would be possible watch everyone vote for who they actually want to vote for. Within no time you’d be seeing dozens of parties pop up
Which is why the two major parties will never support it.
