Quite frankly, in my opinion any such claims are either paranoia, fear-mongering, or both.
Political parties in the United States have formed and disbanded repeatedly since the nation was founded. I would have no more concern over there never being another Republican or Democrat as President than I have over the prospect of there never being another Whig or Bull Moose President. Despite pretensions (mostly Republican, but not solely so) to being the Bearers of Divine Truth, no party deserves to exist forever, and if they vanish into the sunset, it's because they failed to serve their purpose, which is to represent the interests of some large, but probably not all-encompassing, segment of the population. Once a party forgets their purpose, and starts thinking of themselves as a dynasty that must be preserved Lest Darkness Fall And The Barbarians Overrun Us All, they deserve to disappear into the history books. Something else will form to take up their original purpose and do it better, at least at the start.
