Right now X is blowing up with leftists saying Mamdani has “fixed” the budget. It’s of course because he took a massive 8 billion loan from the state, then kicked the can on the NYC pensions so the debt from those over doubles by next (with interest). The problem with this argument is 80% of America doesn’t care, they are functionally economically illiterate, and ~40% have no concept of time other than the next 10 seconds.
Trying to tell leftists about a budget is like trying to explain refrigeration to South Asians. The overwhelming majority won’t understand it, the few that can don’t want the rest to understand it because they’re running a con off it.
I think you guys should pay close attention to Britain, where the long-entrenched two party system is currently undergoing a massive shakeup. The old 'Conservatives' have been devoured by the containment party Reform, and the genuinely right wing Restore party. On the left, Labour is in the process of being consumed by the essentially third worldist Green party. It doesn't seem significant yet, but this is the most radical change in British politics in over a century.
I can see something similar happening in the US at some point, where the Dems and Republicans are replaced by more extreme version of themselves. Whether they are deep state ordained containment parties depends on how dire things get, I suppose.
