Hey Kay,
Are you familiar with Generational Dynamics? It explains a lot.

Big Republican ‘wave’ signals more realignment to come
At the time that I’m writing this, on Tuesday evening, it appears that the Republicans will score a massive political victory over the Democrats in the midterm elections.
I’m reminded of what happened two years ago, when the Democrats scored an even more massive victory over the Republicans.
After Barack Obama had been elected, I mentioned that the political bickering was going to get worse. A couple of people said, “That can’t be right. The Democrats are in charge of the White House and both houses of Congress. Why should there be bickering?”
And yet, the conflict and paralysis in Washington have only gotten worse. Each side puts spin on it to blame the other side, but the bottom line is conflict.
As I started pointing out many, many years ago, this conflict is generational, not political. The survivors of World War II, the GI Generation and the Silent Generation, did great things — they created the United Nations, World Bank, Green Revolution, World Health Organization, International Monetary Fund, and so forth. They created these organizations and managed them for decades with one purpose in mind: That their children and grandchildren would never have to go through anything so horrible as the Great Depression or World War II.
These organizations would make sure that everyone would be fed, everyone would be healthy, poverty would be eliminated, and conflicts would be settled without war.
Throughout their lives, the people in those generations worked together, even when they were on opposite political sides, to protect America and the world from the excesses and xenophobia that led to the Great Depression and World War II.
As late as the 1980s, the Republicans and the Democrats cooperated with each other to change the Social Security system to make it a sounder system. After that, they cooperated again to specify new rules to control the budget deficit. And in 1996, Democratic President Bill Clinton, saying that “the era of big government is over,” cooperated with the Republican congress to eliminate the welfare entitlement.
No one would ever think that any of this is possible today. People talk about a “negotiating process,” but that’s a joke. Nobody wants to compromise, even with people of his own party. Politicians are becoming more extreme. “The center cannot hold,” to quote an old phrase, and “the center is collapsing.”
The Republicans are experiencing euphoria right now, but cold reality is going to hit them soon. People will soon discover that nothing’s changed, and that there are still no solutions. The economy is going to worsen, xenophobia is going to become more apparent, and tensions will increase around the world. And now the Republicans will have to take part of the responsibility.
Some pundits are saying that the Tea Party will become less relevant after this election. This assumes that the political realignment is over, but it’s far from over. What’s more likely is that the Tea Party itself will split into bitterly conflicting factions.
From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, we’re in the “post unraveling” phase of the Crisis era, a time when the stale ideas of the previous Awakening era (the 1960s) are still in play, even though they’re not working any more.
The true crisis will begin with the “regeneracy,” one of more events that are so horrible that they regenerate civic unity again, for the first time since the end of the last crisis war (WW II). These might include a major global financial crisis, a major terrorist attack on American soil, or a major military defeat abroad — probably all three of these, leading to a “Clash of Civilizations” world war.
When the existenceof the nation is truly in peril, as it will be again soon, that’s the time the people will finally put aside their outdated ideas and their bitter quarrels, and will unite again for survival.
And, assuming that the nation survives the crisis, the political realignment will be complete when the crisis reaches a climax, and the nation enters a Recovery era.

To Generation 13. You’re delusional to think the organizations you mentioned were created to “protect” our children. World Bank? You’ve got to be kidding me. The World Bank is nothing more than the unconstitutional Federal Reserve on steroids. The two party system is a pathetic scam. There’s not a dimes worth of difference between the two parties. The draconian agenda continues to march forth no matter which party rules. Can’t you see by now they are another delusion to keep the American people depending on their Party to be their “saviors,” while they watch the tube, doing nothing to keep their freedoms from being stolen away? They don’t care about that precious document called the Constitution and I doubt most of them have a clue what most of it even says. Furthermore, the government was raping the peoples’ social security and using their money for their own agenda in the 80′s. The U.N. was created by men who were known to be Marxists. Xenophobia? Please spare me the “politically correct” psycho-babble. Multiculturalism has always destroyed nations. It’s NEVER worked and has always created chaos. It’s used as a means to divide and conquer. Like it or not, every race, culture and nation is uniquely different and inherently gravitates toward its own race and culture.
Incidentally, would you happen to be a card-carrying Communist? You seem to believe in the same philosophy.
