If this was the last one, and occurred when the 3T started*, it was rather the last gasp of the 2T.
* I admit that the border at 1984 isn't as clear as that of eg 1929 or 1945/46. Still, good enough.

No damn idea for today, but last time, FDR's landslide happened. Check out the reasons for it.

Read it. Can big changes not happen until the Unequality goes even higher? We're still under 1929 levels.

In every Crisis, someone loses. Ask the British loyalists after the ARW or the Southrons after the ACW. But the American cycle still went on.
Someone loses in every cycle but if the bad guys lose it's obviously different than the good guys losing. If the good guys lose it could be catastrophic. This is what happened when communism won in 1917.
