      2. Prior to 1960s, political parties were ideological heterogenous. You had fairy liberal Republicans and very conservative Democrats.

      3. Ideological heterogenous parties allowed for the kind of cross-party alliances you need to do things in America's silly Madisonian system

      4. But they intellectuals came along on the right & left who wanted to make the parties more ideological coherent.

      5. With the rise of movement conservatism, liberal Republicans purged from GOP, just as New politics purged conservatives from Dems.

          @HeerJeet What purged "conservative" Dems was largely the Civil/Voting Rights Acts

          6. The result is the ideological polarization & gridlock we see now.

          @HeerJeet And we're seeing more moderate/conservative Dems in the party entering because of the collapse of the GOP

          @HeerJeet Intellectuals wanted it, but they didn't do it. The heterogenous party was an artefact of white supremacy and died with it.

          @HeerJeet system enables the intellectuals and partisanship. Use parliamentary system, being ideological will lose elections & all power.
