Now, I remain dubious of adding more ideas to the crisis.  The economy does look to end up in a mess.  Environmentalism may be left for the back burner until the new prophets find their voice.  That I cannot see yet.

Another thing to remember is that a 4T brings more change than we expect. So although we might have fewer expectations for fulfilling our own desires, as a society once a 4T gets going, Katy bar the door. Lots more could happen than we think.

Tom Steyer said if he elected, he would declare a state of emergency regarding the climate crisis. Other candidates agreed. So now we have 3 states of emergency. I remain dubious of NOT adding ideas to the crisis, because we will not be adding them. They will add themselves.

I hope you are right, but it is too soon to celebrate going the extra step.

The climate crisis is third burner right now. The 4T is not limited to what's uppermost right now, though. Even 2 weeks ago racism and police brutality was not top of the list; now it is. I think our crisis will be somewhat kaleidoscopic. 

But it all goes back to the kind of leadership and ideology we have chosen for the last 40 years, and our divided nation. That's what ties all these things together, and is the main item to resolve somehow.

IOW, the folks like Classic Xer have to be defeated

Our 4T is unofficially known as the Cold Civil War. That's what it is, at least as long as it remains cold.
