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.
The balance is that people start to see virtues in the out-groups and faults in the in-groups.
But, sadly for me and those of my generation who really just want everyone to stop being crazy, that won't begin to happen until mid-way through the 1T.
