This would probably be the best outcome, and it is possible if pragmatic Xer leaders replace boomers soon enough. In this case, the extremists on both sides - SJWs and identitarian will be purged, while moderate liberals and moderate nationalists will cooperate, until there is little difference between them in the 2040s.
That still fails to address critical issues like addressing global warming (which affects profits) and inequality (that effects accumulated wealth). The mushy-middle has never addressed hard issues, and getting them into a Kumbaya Circle isn't likely to change that one iota. Instead, assume that the spineless get replaced by politicians with carbon-fiber spines, who have no problem purging everything and everyone. Once that starts, the slumbering many will awaken in a hurry, and some real progress may be possible.
Where that leads is still an open issue.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
