2020 is not the year of the Politician. It is the year of the Realist. Most others are likely to get the disease and die. Governments are all toast. All either already infected or are now trying to govern from their bunkers.
I am not sure I would go THAT far. LOL
But be sure, just as there are in any crisis, new leaders will appear. In the 30’s Hitler, Mussillini rose from crisis. Lenin and Stalin in the 1920’s.
Reagan, Thatcher and JP II in the 1980’s. With Khomeni.
The 1990’s brought us the middle eastern leaders and terrorists.
This appears to be the Fourth Turning Crisis. The Baby boom is over. They will not survive as a political power for long after this. Their weaknesses in leadership will be exposed. The rotten system will be exposed.
As one of he youngest boomers it will be interesting to watch...until I am loaded into the deuce and a half and taken to be re educated.
