I don't think it will take that long, perhaps 2024
I'm the prophet; take note!

Thus, there is no template you can compare the next 4 or 8 years to that will work any better than it has in the last 8. It is entirely possible that the regeneracy is long past with the climax nearing and the 1T within five years now, all of which will be crystal-clear in hindsight, but completely invisible to us now.
No doubt about that, except to my "crystal" ball of course; but also I have little doubt that it will take longer. I am as sure about that as I am about any prediction I could make, or have made, even though many of my predictions have come true. In this case, of course, I am in agreement with that other great prophet, Neil Howe.
I predict also that there will be much more change in the 2020s than in the 2010s. The year 2022 will be especially progressive and productive. I have no doubt that the changes will not be favorable to the current Republican doctrines, although Democrats and liberals might not get all they might want either, and not all the possible changes will happen. Americans are only willing to go so far at any one time; (we) are a cautious people and seem to tolerate endless delays and reversals.
Millennials seem divided on the abortion question, which is what concerns Mr. Radind. So I can't really predict total defeat for the anti-abortion forces. But it is an issue that is being relegated to the back burner, relatively speaking, and as I say, the abortion pill could take it off the table, IF people decide that resolving problems is more important than having battles.
