The biggest problems I see are an uneducated electorate, ignorant of their history and ignorant of how the constitution as well as the legislative process works. They sit on their butts and get everything they know from political ads and pundits . Over the years it has become far more polarized, there is no center anymore(which should be based on the constitution our founding document) only extreme leftism which involves ever increasing government and extreme rightism which involves ever increasing govt. I think the last two administrations are easy examples. Meanwhile as the pot is being stirred, the extreme emotionalism overcomes whatever rationality there was and one side blames the other for everything they both have done. Bill Clinton and the Anti Terrorism Act, Georgie Jr and the Patriot Act and now Obama and the NDAA. are very prime examples IMO. In the end all of this will lead to more confusion and anxiety with the public, both sides being played for fools but it will always be the other fools fault until the lid blows off the pot and there is no more room to compromise, who will win? The right wing nationalists or the left wing socialists, and wth is the difference.
The only winner I see is whoever does the mass manipulating and the government apparatus they control.
