I am dubious. During the 3T, there is supposed to be a intense and seemingly endless debate which defines and refines the old and the new values. This time, the red is the old and the blue the new. There is a bad president that demonstrates why the old values are really really bad. There is a grey champion who then leads in implementing the new. From the way the crisis issues are going, I don't see the old values winning out. Trump is apt to join Buchanon and Hoover in showing a failure of the old values. We'll see if the power of the times forces Biden to grow.
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.
