This Crisis is not yet decided for America. We seem more 3T on the whole than 1T.
Crisis eras do not reliably have happy endings. We have been lucky so far in America. We got our independence, we abolished slavery, and we defeated the two enemies that the United states absolutely, positively had to destroy lest they destroyed all that is precious in America. Crisis Eras can bring genocides and tyranny. Crisis eras can put an end to a shaky democracy. Ours this time?

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
