Whether “soon” is 2021 or 2025, he may be right.

I think we're around a decade away from the Tipping Point.
I do think there's a danger that by 2024 the country will have become too socially liberal to accept Pence as POTUS.

I think we are a decade away from that tipping point but I see it as having been passed ten years or so ago. Trump can slow the collapse and get us a few more years of apparent sanity but he can only get us a hiatus, a catching of a projecting shrub on the cliff-face. To turn it all around would require repeal of Civil Service and elimination of ALL agencies and Departments and Bureaus down to the original four and it would require the repeal of the 16th,17th, and 19th Amendments. Cannot be done short of a dictatorial interregnum which would leave its own problems.
