"Today, the people and members of Congress are so far apart that there seems no longer to be any common ground between them for compromise or bipartisanship."

As Abraham Lincoln stated, "a house divided against itself, cannot stand". It is likely that the Republican and Democratic parties will continue their drive toward extremism. I suspect the increasing dissatisfaction of moderates results in a demand for a centrist party. The emerging Equalitarian Party - https://www.usep.net/ may satisfy the demand.
