Right now, I think that we (the West mostly, but the entire world too) is at the end of this current "Fourth Turning," and as they often do, it's going to end in fire, violence, disruptions, and an expanded consciousness. The "Fourth Turning" theory tells us that every 80 to 100 years, we go through this, and that a "Grey Champion" rises to the challenge and leads us through and out of it, and into a new "First Turning"...a period of relative peace and prosperity.

I think we are in that precise moment of the closing of this Fourth Turning, and it's going to be a bumpy ride.

But our "Grey Champion" (IMHO) is Pres. Trump, and all of what we're seeing -- riots, street demonstrations, manufacturing returning to the US, and general upheaval of the status quo -- is unfolding just as the authors of the theory and book "The Fourth Turning" (Strauss and Howe) predicted in 1997.
