If Biden-Harris is a bomb, or worse: a snoozer, someone will rise up to challenge. The Progressives are biting their collective tongues right now. In 4 years, I don't see that still being true. In fact, it may arrive on January 21st, 2021.
Or sooner if it is clear that Trump is out. I sort of expect an interesting transfer of power, but as soon as the transfer is apparent the progressives are apt to find their tongues.
Real change doesn't occur from the middle. That's so blatantly obvious, I'm a bit ashamed to even type it. Yet the PTB in the mainstream media and both non-Trumpian parties seem oblivious to that fact. That only leaves one conclusion: real change is both scary and undesirable.
The non-Trumpian GOP is simply hopeless, so ignore them for a moment. What about the Dems? How can change occur when the party is led by octogenarians? Fresh thinking rarely emerges from stale minds, and these folks are well past their use-by date.
I certainly agree, lol. However, we are stuck with who steps up to run. The competition to Biden and Sanders were just not up to snuff. There was no Obama or Bill Clinton or even a Jimmy Carter among them. Not by a long shot. Better candidates need to come forth. I have yet to see one of them speak at the convention. And no-one seems able or willing to step into Nancy Pelosi's shoes either. Tim Ryan? Gimme a f**king break. Younger people often have stale minds too; youth is no guarantee.
The people may well decide just how far, and how long, our 4T goes. The leaders may have to comply; how soon we don't know. I mentioned in another thread that Mikebert's suggestion may come true, and the 4T last well into the 2030s. Our current state of affairs is not sustainable. But it will continue until the scary change is confronted. Not changing will become more scary than changing. When the thread entitled "Are we in a 4T or a 1T" appears here, I will still argue for 2008 for the start date, which is the date I originally predicted here and elsewhere based on my cosmic sources. These sources also say that the early years of our 1T could be like the early years of the saeculum that began in 1865, which some 4T fans say should be included in the civil war 4T. These sources also led me to say that real change in our 4T would not begin until this year. So it has begun.
