Ehh ... more the end of the end. Hayek's Neoliberalism, that both parties and their donors to various degrees heavily push, could only end in one way. To the point that both parties still by-in-large service "Raegan's" voodoo economics; just the Dems are softer in their approach to it. The marriage of Capital and the State; and meritocracy being the cheap justification. Where Capital just throws off any pretense or middle men and just becomes the state. Fascism. The strong upsurge of Ultranationalist Rhetoric and ever changing scapegoat targets is an essential part of it; as it distracts from the system itself that is the cause of the immense economic hardship it places on the general populous.

There's a reason the wealthy in droves invested so much money and time pushing Hayek's work. With Carter opening the door for the ideology functionally, and Raegan blowing that door off its hinges. Yet, the slow death of Democracy shouldnt be surprising. Friedrich Hayek built his career on fearmongering about how social safety nets, public welfare, and communalism would lead to tyranny; even naming his most famous work "The Road to Serfdom". Yet, repeatedly openly admitted his disdain for Democracy, and his heavy preference of what he referred to as "Liberal" Dictatorships. 5-6 Decades of both parties championing his principles, at two different speeds? Funny that.
