The real battle will now shift to the Progressive vs Democrat battle that is the future of our two party system .
The 4T started in 2008 and is only half over. The Dems have only 2 levers of power, and not the other 2. This crisis is a long way from being over, and boomers are still around; lots of em. And there is still a red-blue battle among them; they are not all red. The majority of core boomers voted blue this time. There is still some faint memories of those days not so long ago when boomers had ideals and worked for them.
Yeah I disagree on the timings, the national mood made its dark pivot to overprotecting the children of crisis after 9/11.
I DO think we may be looking at a possible disruption to the normal course of the saeculum as the old are sticking around much longer, making it harder for the transfer to millennials to occur.
Boomers voted red, they may have SHIFTED a bit blue from 2016 but they still offset millennials.
