Does this 4T seem a little 2T-ish to anyone else?

[David Horn]

There has been Full-On Republican and Republican Lite for the past 40 years. That doesn't change easily. Yes, the more engaged can see through the fog, but the 90% who just live their lives don't really care. To them, politics is an issue so far down their priority list, it only gets attention during big elections -- POTUS being the most common ones. At the same time, they hold office holders responsible for everything from the weather to unfriendly neighbors. There's no mandate for rationality.

It will take a hard hit in the gut to realign their thought processes. Millennials have already had a punch or two, so they're already wary. The older gens are too insolated and the come-to-Jesus moment stillr needs to happen for them.
