Great article, with the constant fake news flow, we need to remind people of actual history.
I have a comment on the underlying assumptions.
The older I get, the more I'm convinced that the Founding Fathers intentionally created a fractured and fragmented system that has hundreds of drivers, each with their own steering wheel.

I think they realized that we'd all go to sleep if it wasn't constant friction.
I think the JERKS stuck us with a system where 20% are psychotic fanatics, 20% are cerebral progressives, and 60% are too busy to bother unless the building is on fire and they have no choice.
I'm not sure that this is a bad plan.
Calm parliamentarian governments toddle along with 8 factions stroking and stabbing each other, very politely. This can put citizens to sleep long enough for them to wake up in a fascist Sweden.
Our fractious two party system keeps 40% of us throwing tomatoes at each other and the 60% acting as a bored, but powerful, backup.
I firmly believe that across the USA, we will see a very clear message sent to our legislators this fall. The message is "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR CRAP, GO TO YOUR ROOM".
Both the GOP and the Dems will think we only mean the GOP. Both will be wrong.
