Check out Strauss Howe Generational Theory. The reason all this crazy shit is happening in 2020 is because we're in a crisis. After ~2025 we'll get in what's called a "high" similar to post-1942 where part of the new values adopted by society will be forgotten and the more moderate ones will be implemented into law (ex: hate speech laws) as well as part of the government powers we only used in times of crisis now will be kept for good. Institutions will run well-oiled and there will be a certain collectivism while minorities and individual needs will be somewhat ignored. Don't think of an authortiarian regime with a central worshiped authority figure (ex: Viktor Orban) though, it will be more of a diffuse bureaucratic technocracy. Think very early 40's-50's Soviet Union.
