The current moment is like the recent wildfires. All this trash built up over the years and it sort of has to have its time to burn out. Everything just has to find a way to survive it until it runs out of fuel. When the pendulum swings back the other direction, just be ready to rebuild from the natural disaster.

Sorry. But this is total crap. A dictatorship won't burn out by itself. People need to fight for freedom and democracy over and over again. It is not for granted!
