I'm not seeing indications that this 4T is near its end. Nominally, we could easily have another 5-10 years of it and it would still fit within the 80 year cycles.
Unless the fever-brained Right somehow changes their minds, abandons their belief systems, I don't think we know yet who will prevail, what compromises will be necessary to calm things down. Ya have the gun-nut cowards, the Religious radicals, the white nationalists and the lower-grade "slightly racist" low information folks in a loose coalition.
Let's say that the divisiveness continues for a few years. Secession could be on the table. David French's book "Divided We Fall" is a good read. I think he leans a bit too hard to the Right, but he may well be directionally correct that there is WAY more pulling us apart right now than there is bringing us back together. That is not a good thing.
