Nearly half the population, concentrated in urban centers, is either part of a secular cult or in thrall to it. Entitlement is a major part of the cult, and they have been used to getting their way for a very long time, financed by infinite government debt. It has to change, one way or another, as reality sets in, and they're not going to like it.
So no, it's not going to get better. At best, there is a short-term lull (maybe) if they get exactly what they want in the election, like a withdrawing heroine addict finally getting a dose. But it only makes the problem worse -- the addiction is reinforced, and the eventual conflict with reality becomes more inevitable and intense.

Hmm I see a parallel between boomers and some millennials
