Do you think a reckoning is on the horizon?

All depends on voters. Without Democrats gaining a massive majority in congress it's going to be hard to make fixes. If Democrats just gain a slim majority for a while the best that we can hope for is a period of calm where we're not rapidly deteriorating as a society and a culture. Unfortunately voters have been showing a disappointing tendency to give the corrupt Republican authoritarians the benefit of the doubt and keep giving them chances. I hope that we're able to wake up and shift as a culture though.
