And he seems to answer the question of whether America has reached that "social moment," which some posters have been debating here.

Trump's election very much looks like it could be the beginning of a social moment, which would last until the end of the 4T.

I think that's very much what Kaiser has concluded, and I now see eye to eye with him on that 4T concept.  What troubles me on his blog is his assertion of a possible armed conflict between federal forces and municipal authorities over the issue of immigration bans and sanctuary cities.  That's highly speculative.

It's possible, I don't really think it likely.
