DISRUPTIVE
A TECHNOLOGICAL revolution killed the Whig Party in 1850. A new one is blasting the GOP into splinters in 2016. None of the presidential candidates talk much about technology, yet our software-eats-the-world whirlwind drives everything that’s cleaving the country and throwing its politics into chaos. The parallels to the dynamics of the 1850s are a little scary. After all, the Whigs’ self-destruction was a prelude to the Civil War.
