Fundamental differences that have existed through time.

Republicans and Democrats have fundamental differences. It is a chronic problem that will resolve whether one party or the other wants it. 

Why?

Because as population grows, providing we survive the Climate Crisis, there will be more need for cities to develop plans for their citizens that work to provide services and not simply dump government responsibility of any citizen's well being on churches. This country is a democracy, not a plutocracy or a theocracy.

While moderates were a part of the real face of his country, today the Republican agenda has become so extreme that it is not a feasible solution for the country. What works in states, does not work for the federal government. The answer by Republicans has been to destroy the sovereign federal government, basically treason, and return powers to the states.

Democrats seek to solve problems for the citizens rather than dumping those problems in the laps of individuals to either perish or thrive. As the population of the USA grows, the demand for solving problems will become more intense. The issue of land use alone will require a demand for federal authority to preserve forests and farmland. 

Either we are a country or we are not.
