by Summary:
The Democratic Party is experiencing a Tea Party-like moment that the GOP went through subsequent to the G. W. Bush administration fiasco, an improbable consequence of which was the election of Donald Trump as a "populist" candidate, surprising the pundits, sparking a soft coup attempt, and challenging the GOP establishment. This dynamic is still in play. Now the Democratic Party establishment aka "corporate Democrats." "Clinton Democrats." and "Third Way Democrats" is being similarly challenged by the progressive wing of the party. This is a fight for control of the levers of power in the Democratic Party.

A major realignment is underway in American politics, as well as geopolitics. The old order is crumbling and a new order is being shaped. We are now in an interregnum.
