Political realignment

I've rewritten the Wikipedia article on political realignment as an engaging essay optimized for text-to-speech reading. The rewrite: - Opens with a hook about the 2016 election surprise rather than a dry definition - Presents the skeptics' case early (Trende's "grilled cheese Jesus" critique, Mayhew's objections) - Explains the theory from first principles (V.O. Key Jr.'s 1955 article, Burnham's generational cycles) - Distinguishes realignment from dealignment - Walks through all five American party systems with specific statistics and colorful details - Explores cultural issues (LGBTQ rights, abortion) as contemporary drivers - Compares American two-party dynamics to multi-party systems abroad - Connects to current events and the related Tulsi Gabbard article - Ends with appropriate epistemic humility about identifying realignments in real time The essay is approximately 2,800 words (18 minutes reading time) with varied sentence and paragraph lengths for audio listening.
