That would also mean that, unlike if the Right-wing wins, the 2T may actually be somewhat calm and euphoric, even as it could be drastic in the level of change effected on cultural as well as political levels. It could be like Lyndon Johnson without Vietnam, or at least a smaller one stopped by the peace movement before it gets out of hand.
Nothing is preordained. Trump and the others of his ilk, tapped into emotional tidal waves, and used the anger to their own benefit. The anger is still there. The real question: is the anger strong enough to push reason aside again? If so, then their memes become the new trendline, and counter-narratives will have a hard time being heard. They've already shown that there is no such thing as too much cheating.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
