For me, the hyperbole and hypocrisy surrounding recent events is potentially more dangerous than the events themselves. The in-group/out-group dynamics are intensifying, which is worrisome. The higher in-group preference is, the more people are willing to excuse what would otherwise be immoral behavior on the part of their in-group towards the scapegoated out-group. Right now, it feels as if every scenario I can come up with, from best case to worst, is equally feasible. That's the problem with a 4T, once the genie is out of the bottle you never know what you're going to get.
