I think the primary reason this 4T is mild, at least on the surface, is due to a lack of coherent sides. Dems are split into neo-liberals and emerging Social Democrats. The GOP is 80+% Trump, with all the puzzlement inherent I that, and 20% old-school and vapid. Add-in the mostly unaffiliated SJWs and the ever more libertarian business community, and the reason is pretty clear: too many teams and philosophies at play to make a true us-versus-them struggle.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
