It's not a regeneracy at all. If anything, more fragmentation and acrimony are coming.
Only if Clinton's astroturf antidemocracy protesters can stand up to the army, which won't happen.
I don't think the regeneracy has arrived yet, but I think it will be soon. The Republicans dominate two of the three branches of government and will have the third within a year. I've already seen conciliatory messages from two major leftist institutions - Apple Computer and MIT. If Trump decides to seize power like Lincoln and FDR did, there will be no effective opposition.
I don't like regeneracies, I don't like fourth turnings, I don't like first turnings. But we can't stop it now. We couldn't ever have stopped it.
