I've kindof been expecting something like this to happen. Years ago I read about the wave theory. It seems like it predicted the right wing would be on top for about 40 years or 2 generations. It's difficult to be precise but that fits with 1980 to 2020, Reagan through Trump. I'm optimistic, there may be a silver lining here, but I wish it hadn't come to this.
