We have a crisis like constellation of generations, though the boomers are well and truly split and aging soon out of power. We have not yet had a regeneracy, where the progressive agenda is fully empowered. We did have something like a Ft Sumter / Pearl Harbor moment in September 11, but we did not fully mobilize as a result. We had the feeling that we could not change the world through use of military force. We would not send a massive enough number of boots on the ground.
It is sill possible to vote in 2020 for constitutional government and against executive despotism without endorsing a full progressive agenda. If Biden remains on top, a Democratic government doing the will of the elites may happen. We will have a values change which centers on continuing constitutional government without addressing the full progressive agenda. What happens in 2024 and beyond will be up in the air.
That does not leave me fully satisfied. Eventually, yes, the three arguments for a progressive time are apt to win out.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
