36:43 to 37:05 was something I didn't even think about previously think about on the possible dissolution of the two party duopoly.
Esther made the point that while HR1 would make it more difficult for left parties, a brand new far right party wouldn't face the same obstacles due to dark money and rich donors (which makes sense since various corporatists like the Koch Brothers and the Mercer Family funded things like the Tea Party).
Given that possibility and Trump's backpedaling on creating a Patriot Party, a new path to neofascism is now possible. Maybe, now we won't get the Worse Than Trump president until 2029.
Scenario (this assumes that HR1 passes or an effort to create a major left alternative fails if HR1 is stopped in the Senate): Biden steps aside after the midterms so Kamala becomes president. The elites more or less let her win in '24 after either an establishment Republican, Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley crashes hard. After that presidential election, Trumpism is officially declared dead but right wing populism is still a thing in 2025. The problem for the corporate rulers is that neoliberalism is given yet another reprieve even though they themselves know that the public is sick of it and the philosophy is beyond toxic.
So, with both Trump and his hand-picked successor out of the way, the GOP finally splits with the more extreme elements forming a new party. It's this new hypothetical Patriot Party that attracts many corporate donors to neofascism. The PP cleans house in the '26 midterms.
Per the 22nd Amendment, Kamala would be ineligible for the 2028 election because she would have served more than half of Biden's remaining term in addition to a full four-year term.
A Dem ticket of Mayor Pete and AOC is swamped by a demagogue more competent than Trump while the GOP establishment ticket doesn't even get an electoral vote.

Seriously, just arrest the guy already. Hell, he's facing other charges anyway.
Congress can also pass a law that prohibits him from running again and expel all members of Congress for their role on the 6th
