I could not vote in the poll. It needs to be clear that 2025 is the date of the climax, not the end, of the 4T. The end of the 2020s is the date at which the 4T will end. We have much more to go through first, and it will take a few years. It cannot end during the current regime, and correcting it will take some years in addition. The current situation in which the hard right dominates our country cannot continue; it must be displaced. That might require violent confrontation, not to achieve a leftist takeover, but to curtail a hard right rebellion that might break out against the policies of a soft-left regime that needs to replace today's hard-right regime.
Notice my point that Trump might be re-elected. This will make our domestic crisis much more extreme. Notice my point that the current Democratic Party challengers most talked-about cannot win a presidential election against Donald Trump, no matter how bad his presidency is perceived to be by a slight majority of Americans. The Democrats and the pundits will have to choose candidates that can win, and that hasn't happened yet.
It is also likely that this 4T's upsurge in world affairs of tyranny, civil wars, terrorism, and retreat by the USA in the face of Russian advances into the fray, will need to be dealt with and at-least subside and those trends be reversed before a 1T can begin. Such Russian advance is likely to increase in 2021.
USA 4Ts usually have both a domestic and a foreign crisis component. There's an accent on one or the other, alternating in a double rhythm. In our current 4T, the domestic crisis is paramount, but the foreign crisis also applies. But we need not underestimate the scope of the challenges we face.
