That is something I don't understand: it would take decades and probably more than one generation to change the culture that fundamentally, wouldn't it?
Yes it will.

Where's the 'Tea Party' today?
Scoundrels sent out mailers etc grubbing money to elect Tea Party candidates, and pocketed the money.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
Object lesson:
Eisenhower as Supreme Allied Commander in WWII had all kinds of trouble with Montgomery who was forever making plans upon plans, like Market Garden.
Patton on the other hand - because he Kept It Simple - drove so fast and hard that he outran his supply lines.
If it had been Monty with his 'Perfect Plans' instead of Ike running the show there's a good chance Britain would be a part of greater Pan Germania today.
"The price good men pay for their indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
Plato
Way too many voters pay hardly any attention to what goes on after they leave the booth, for the following 2 to 4 years.
A 'Conservative' 3rd Party in this mix is going to split the vote and hand everything right back to the Democrats.
The DNC is broke. They're on the ropes. Think Patton, not Monty at this point. Finish them off for at least the next 2 years and concentrate on getting control of the Judiciary back. When the Law itself means whatever the Judge's whims are, no 3rd Party is gonna matter squat even if it passes All the Laws it promised to pass rather than imploding at the polls and dragging us all down with it.
And I Don't need another heated screed full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, about how "They're All The Same".
Not with the HRC 'Show That Never Ends' as a nightly comedy.
