I thought such possible in the late 1990s, when the Crisis era could have been more a cultural phenomenon than one with potential for great ruin.

The extreme polarization in American political life, the intense inequality of economic results, and the utter ruthlessness of one side of the political spectrum suggest otherwise.

Remember: the weather before a severe blizzard can be freakishly balmy and gentle.  I have seen April blizzards that follow several days of temperatures around 70F. The disruptive April blizzard is still possible. A sharp cold wave overtakes some warm, humid weather, and the juiced air becomes the source of what can be the biggest snowstorm of the whole winter. That's Michigan.

You said... 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. 

Isn't this shocking.  To me it just completely represents the Boomer culture-war. Because I truly believe a huge majority of those who voted for the current president or got him into office did so on a culture war against the other side and nothing more. They didn't want him so much as they did not want another non white bred liberal type or Progressive person. That's the destructive Behavior of Boomer culture wars. They would rather elect someone who lives in an alternate reality and is the opposite of what they don't want. Isn't that sick? 

Those are the deceived red boomers. They have always been sick. The aware and true blue boomers need to get going and help get things on the right track again, in an alliance with the blue millennials and Xers. That's quite simple. If you just want to be left out, and accept whatever comes, that's your choice. That's THE choice, and the only choice. Support the resumption of progress, or accept the decay.
