Normally the 1T locks in cement the values trialed and erred by the 4T.  That would be a divided country by region, a divided country by wealth, and perhaps global warming, with the culture war on the side?  I am not sure of the driving issue of the 4T, therefore the lessons in cement of the 1T are pending?

We may be heading for a time a lot like the late 19th and early 20th centuries, if the government decays further.  The absence of communal power opens the door to private power, and stalemated government is as good a way to kill communal power as I can see: no coup required.
