Society, in some ways, acts like a pendulum. Things get out of skew and reach a certain point where the majority finally realizes something is amiss. The factor that exists now that hasn't existed before (in my opinion) is the instant communications today that allows everyone to "speak their piece", giving the country a multiple of voices, anonmynity, no (or little) individual responsibility, and individual isolation. However, that too may be a blip on the screen, fading like so many things over a few decades.
I have a great amount of faith in the common man. Patience is only so elastic and I see an excellent chance that things will change, but it will take the people to realize that extreme partisanism is destructive, and that the desire to always be right will take us down. Tolerance, a move to minimize the opiners who exude hate are required.
