I don't see how it could ever happen.
It's arguable that democracy and government accountability in the US ended in the early 1800s. If it ever existed at all, really.
I mean, consider history. The New Deal was arguably appeasement to forestall revolution. We finally elected a black president, who had cultivated almost a "black power" reputation in Chicago, and he ended up barely more liberal than Nixon.
