The Two-Party Trap

<p> The United States has become increasingly polarized although the concept of a two-party system is not new. This book traces the major parties' utter dominance--of the highest elected positions all the way down to nonpartisan political offices across the U.S.--from the founding of the Constitution through the 2020 presidential election. Even before the founding of the modern Republican Party in 1854 and the next 168-year era of Democratic-GOP dominance the early decades of American nationhood were ruled in a similar manner by the two major parties of the day.</p><p> This book is a comprehensive fast-paced analysis of how the two-party system has grown to be such an affront to the ideals of the Founding Fathers and of the numerous Americans today who appear to accept it as a fact of life.</p>
