The progress we get is not always the progress we desire. The real question: does the new paradigm move us forward, backwards or in no particular direction? Typically, only the first option on that list truly qualifies as progress, but the change may be tiny and unsatisfying and still qualify. I suspect we'll be unsatisfied this time. Assuming we're there, the transition from 4T to 1T will be overseen by an Artist or a reprobate Boomer. Neither really qualifies as ideal … especially another 4 years of the Orange One.
