A lot of red folk seem to be. They are projecting Biden as weak and the administration as doing nothing. I am expecting and seeing the crisis focus and drive.
Too early because we won't know until the midterms if a new super-majority consensus about the Brave New World to come is forming, if the typical pendulum of American politics is back in play, or if everything is imploding in an actual insurrection instead of the LARP one people are insisting on treating as such. I will admit that the signs of the last one happening are starting to ebb, but they haven't fully subsided yet. I think if the 'domestic terrorism' bill passes along with some other actions being floated (both by the state and by private companies/individualists) then it could be back on the table.
And I'm Gen X - my generational role is to be in denial and be dragged kicking and screaming into whatever unholy utopian nirvana the Prophets and Civics construct.
