I honestly would like to believe this is true, but the signs seem to point elsewhere. Red is not opposed to change at all; in fact, they pushed some outrageous radical and reprehensible change under Trump (one of the primary reasons his followers love him). Change can be for the worse as well as the better. And Blue is looking more and more like throwbacks to some mythical model to faux perfection, wedded in process rather than progress. All the return-to-normal cheerleaders are out in the streets being their typical mild selves, advocating for more Clinton/Obama, as long as none of their toes get crushed.

If, as seems likely, Biden adds a Republican or two to his cabinet or the upper echelons of the West Wing, feel free to go back to sleep. We'll be in for a muddle.
