There is no other political direction at this point. Both parties represent the same interests and those interests are not those of the general public.
For example, union labor had always been with the Democrat party. But the Democrats betrayed them even worse than Trump today with globalization and immigration. Indeed, it was the betrayal of the Democrat party in the first place which caused the rise of Trump.
A third party is technically possible but can not succeed in the US. The last time it was tried was an unsuccessful experiment attempt during Ross Perot in the 1980's.
So we are left staring at the paradox that citizens of America, allegedly the example for the world of democracy in action, are totally devoid of political representation Neither of America’s political parties represents Americans. They represent powerful interests only.
