Basically this country needs a big reboot button. And a no party system
Aside from the fact that this is entirely unrealistic, it's also a ridiculous thing to even consider.
Firstly, the United States is post-industrial, and the fact that US companies are all oriented towards tertiary and quaternary economic activities and all operate relatively freely, there is no incentive to begin in-country manufacturing again. Labor is too cheap elsewhere and transportation costs don't offset the profit...'
Secondly, parties allow individuals to coalesce into loosely-defined (though this is changing) groups of people who share their values. If you don't know the historical context, you have to recognize that without political parties, participation on the part of the citizenry would be severely diminished (and we may have developed into a modern-day aristocracy).
Thirdly, how do you propose all of this transpire? If you believe our country should remain free, then this cannot and will not happen. Only if you're keen on a dictatorship can any "reboot" of the size you're thinking of even begin to take shape...
I will support a dictatorship only if Rock is the one in charge of it.
