It is still up to prophet boomers. The fact that we are divided is no excuse. The blue boomers need to defeat the red boomers, and blue needs to defeat red among every generation. This is not a generational battle. A majority of white male millennials voted for Trump. Victory is the only possible consensus. The nature and cause of our 4T is our division, which is caused by the evil on the red side blocking progress.
We are 1850s redux, approaching the 1860s. Should the Union prophets have said "we can't carry the load of defeating the Confederates" because too many prophets are Confederates? Blue boomers and all blues need to defeat the Confederates of today. We are in a cold civil war that may become hot, and we blue boomers need to lead the fight.
Excuse? No, it's not an excuse, just reality. The harder either side pushes, the harder the other side pushes back. All that creates is dissention and confusion. Not everyone is ready to hear this tale. I tested the fully rational version on my own solidly Blue family, and even there, I got push back. The Blue side has been asleep for decades, and it will take time to hone effective messages, present them, and have them become the kind of guidance you desire... me too, for that matter.
Top of the list, the hyper-partisan latte liberals need to be stood down. Their super-wokeness is so totally off-putting that it's creating it's own weather. They're the left's version of QAnon. Sorry, but people do not respond to being told they are guilty of original sin, and can't redeem themselves. You have to sell to the buyer, and no one, not already in that camp, is buying. Fix that first. By now we should have learned that.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
