I also keep pointing out that you need to see our times most clearly as a repeat of the 1850s. We can't have a regeneracy like 1933 because our nation is stalemated and divided like it was in 1853. We are stuck, and the breakthrough will only come near the end of the 4T in the mid to late 2020s, which will have analogies to the early 1860s. To a lesser degree the 2020s will also rhyme with progressive decades: 1900s and 1960s (and maybe the 1840s, and especially the 1770s and 1780s too).

Or we get a neo-Gilded age like the one after the ACW. The neo-progressive era would be the next 3T.

There's not the slightest chance of that. Progressive eras don't come in 3Ts. The Gilded Age was a 1T. YOu can take to the bank and bet all your money that the 2020s will not be a 1T era (except of course the last year, and even that will be more like 1866 than 1877 or 1955).
