What will it be like? Will Liberals and Conservatives still be locked in this heated battle? Will a legitimate 3rd political party emerge? Will America still be a world power? Any thoughts?

Originally posted by @mchillGroups certainly evolve and names like liberals and conservatives certain will change but I don't think America is unique in this way. There will always be group(s) that want the government to expand and take immediate action to correct perceived injustices. These people will be more likely to force individuals to redistribute income and rights and to pay for perceived injustices. There will be other groups that will be more reluctant to take from one group and give to others.

Originally posted by @mchillAmerica will be the most powerful country as long as China isn't a democracy. America's power comes from its massive economy and cultural influence. With how closed Chinese society is, they have no cultural influence over the rest of the world. Even if their economy is larger than America's they still won't match its influence.

Originally posted by @mchillYou will always have the terms "conservative" and "liberal". Just know that their description will be as different as they are from 100 years prior.

To your last question.
Estimated GDP in 2050.
China $58T
India $44T
US $34T
T = trillion
That's only 32 years in future.
US might not even exist anymore.
Fractured into 2 or more virtual countries.
Division is already clear to see today.
Oh !! And the wall, if it is ever built will be a tourist attraction visited by Chinese and Indians.
A relic and a monument to a misguided ideology.
Originally posted by @js357The wall will go up just as soon as they wish to keep Americans inside, much like the former USSR.
