I think that a lot of people compare this 4T to the last one because of the parallels seen with the 2010s so far and the 1930s. Both 4Ts started off the same.
Possible explanation. The controversy about same-sex marriage practically died with the USSC decision. The politicians don't bring it up. Gays and lesbians chose to go mainstream and succeeded.
It's surprising that I see Confederate flags here in southern Michigan... and the people flying them are apparently not re-enactors. Needless to say I saw some in the presence of a Trump for President sign...
