I would be inclined to doubt gentleness.  In the high, you generally stomp on the remnants of the old values with forethought and vindictiveness.  I suspect there will be movements directed against the sort of political fantasies the red have indulged in during the unraveling.

That will be emotionally satisfying, but essentially worthless, unless the power shifts down to average people and remains there.  If we fail in that task, then the elites will bide their time and retake their current power positions. It sucks, but it's been inevitable so far.  After all, Alphas are Alphas and Betas are Betas.
