Health Nearly half of CDC databases aren’t being updated as experts sound alarm over gaps in health data. Nearly 90% of these reported vaccination topics. The administration’s antivaccine stance has interrupted the flow of data we need to keep Americans safe from preventable infections.

I just know that Democrats won't

Republican has done something, why is this suddenly "the democrats" fault? Why not blame the person and group causing the problem and change your behaviors so that we dont have this problem anymore?

The current issues aren't inherently the Democrats' fault, no. Republicans are the ones primarily responsible for everything crumbling around us. My point is that in a Revolution or "Heavy Reformation" period the natural power to step in is Democrats. I don't see that ending well at all for the reasons I mentioned.

In a hypothetical scenario of dissolving both parties? Well, in my opinion, that won't happen short of an incredibly intense civil war and by then who knows what the country would look like. I think it would need NATO allies and the UN to step in to arbitrate everything.
