Society hasn't decided anything unless you think a self selected group of people now represents the whole society. The Democratic party and its business lackeys decided to remove political in business opposition/competition with impunity and the Republican party being mostly indifferent about it.

See this is part of the problem.
You are lumping together two different organizations that are nothing alike as somehow part of the same cabal.
Many different people from many different groups and organizations are reaching the same conclusion about Trump and the rise of violent right wing extremism.
Different parts of society are agreeing, and then in each of these parts there are individuals making decisions.
I'm not the one lumping them together, they lumped themselves together the same way unions and the Democratic party did a long time ago. Revolving doors, clientelism, business opportunities, power struggle,...
What? People who agree and have a common interests are not immediately part of a group who move as one.

Add activism, donations, candidate support and cooperating with them on a local and global level.
Seems like a text book definition of a political party.
Or all that is normal and complex human interactions of people with similar interests.
And we call that a political party. What point are you trying to make?
