Abstract
Chapter 11 concludes the book by reflecting on the future of radical American partisanship. The chapter summarizes the book’s findings, identifies upcoming flashpoints, and describes the contingency of outcomes yet to be determined—leaders and ordinary citizens ultimately have agency to determine which paths we go down. The chapter also reassesses the roles parties play in a democracy. Far from decrying parties, the chapters recognize that they are essential for well-functioning democracies. Managing their excesses is the challenge. And contrary to convention, the chapter argues for the democratic necessity of partisan polarization when one party aims to advance democracy and the other is violently opposed to it.
