Do we need to carry on tradition and go through all the hoopla or can we just skip it all together this year? I say, fuck it and vote to place the Democratic government and all its misguided/clueless people on ignore. As far as Democratic electorates, who cares about them they're all senseless liberal fools anyway. Yep. Welcome to the 4T.

The opposed view?  The trigger was the appearance of COVID late 2019.  The crisis problems were COVID, the racist protests and the economy, with an honorable mention to global warming.  Trump was the bad president who did not address the crisis problems.  The federal regeneracy comes when Biden is sworn in as president on the 20th, and proceeds to address the problems.  The first three problems don't look to take that long to solve, with global warming requiring a much longer term effort and looks difficult in the short term under the crippled economy.  If the liberals prove successful in solving the crisis problems and have Trump's inaction and lies to blame for any failures, they may have enough capital for success with the never again phase.  The never again phase, in response to Trump's games, might come before the next presidential election.  A transition to the high mentality of hammering down the crisis lessons learned while building infrastructure would come shortly after.

I have no trouble putting Buchanan, Hoover and Trump together in the same bad president bucket.  If anything, Buchanan and Hoover might justly object.  I can hear the matching complaints echoing indignantly from the distant past even now.

My heart still isn't into putting Lincoln, FDR, Churchill and Biden together.  Using the four names together in the same sentence doesn't feel right.  Biden for gray champion???  Well, we will see how he handles the situation, or if someone else rises to become a prominent mover and shaker over the next few years.  I'm not one to view the theory that rigidly anyway.  

Still, the builder of coalitions who recognizes the opposition while holding firm to the vision might work.  Lincoln and FDR were't viewed as saints without 20 20 hindsight anyway.  One person personifying the big forces of history makes the telling of history more succinct and powerful.  Maybe it will happen?

Time will tell.

The COVID issues are COVID itself and all the damage caused by partial shutdowns of the economy and all the restrictions placed on peoples lifestyles and all the losses relating to tax revenues. The social unrest and BLM were a Liberal side show that really didn't matter to most people. Me, I don't really care if Minneapolis turns into a shit hole and don't really care if a bunch round heads don't feel safe outside their homes or inside their homes. Oh, one other thing, the mass hysteria media blitz also created a bunch of COVID crazies that may take years to pacify.
