I would note that Strauss and Howe date the second turning from the mid sixties to the mid eighties, so it includes the Reagan revolution as much as it does the Vietnam protests.
Before we figure out how the elites are reduced, we need to figure out who the elites are. I think if we identify them as people like Zuckerberg and Cook and Musk, we could easily envision Trump taking governmental action to undercut their empires, for example by creating a national social media infrastructure along the lines of the post office. If they are Goldman Sachs bankers, it's possible that riots could result in their homes being burned down and many being killed, and while it currently seems unlikely, such riots could grow out of BLM protests and the current antidemocracy protests.
Mikebert, who do you think the elites are?
