"SNIP.....

A new Gallup poll finds 62% of U.S. adults say the “parties do such a poor job representing the American people that a third party is needed,” an increase from 57% in September.

Meanwhile, 33% of Americans believe the two major political parties are doing an adequate job representing the public, the smallest percentage expressing this view apart from the 26% reading in October 2013.

Key takeaway: “Independents are usually much more likely than Republicans or Democrats to favor a third political party, but in the current poll, Republicans are nearly as likely as independents to hold this view, 63% to 70%. That represents a dramatic shift for Republicans since last September when 40% favored a third party.”

it in good jobs and better pay. The one thing the Trumpers embracing authoritarianism and anti democracy memes and actions does in clearly make republicans and rich people think about their souls, and if they want one, rather than the slow erosion of the last 50 years because of GOP policies amd Movement Conservatism.
