I am also seeing the S&H Turnings very heavily in play. Unravellings are supposed to be a time of selfishness and greed. A crisis period is most for unity, taking action, and transforming values. The former manifested as Reaganomics, small government, limited spending, providing minimal services. The latter has not yet manifested, but the blues have tried to advocate it.
Make America great again? Just like the 40s through 80s? The time of tax and spend liberalism? Can one be great while caring only for one's self?
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
