If not, then the 4T will be a failure.  It is the core test of our political life, because all the other problems are directly related.

Monopoly and trusts are the norm in contemporary America. Economic power now dominates politics until someone like Trump gets erratic enough to scare the rich-and-powerful.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
