       There's no doubt that America's two-party system has directly enabled the rise and persistence of reactionary extremism.https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/14/uk-us-trump-starmer-elections-00960828Conservatives have a different ideology than reactionaries, but in a two-party system, their fear of change makes them much more likely to back ideologues who hate democracy.This dynamic exists in multi-party systems, however their construction dilutes reactionary power.
