On the contrary, as a Spenglerian I, sort of, think the exact opposite. Trump is a premonition of Caesarism, marking the end of a civilization's natural development and the beginning of the fossilization of it's cultural, philosophical, and ideological forms. He is the Western counterpart of Lucius Cornelius Sulla.

I am of the opinion that Western Civilization ended when the First World War started up and that it took about a century for anyone to notice.  I use that point because that war appears to me to be the catalyst that paved the way for the era of the total state which may be ending now due to simple bankruptcy.

That said I have no problem with giving Trump a chance since the usual suspects are known crooks, completely incompetent or both.

Both sound like the basis of a thread based on theory. I know I've been planning on writing up my Mega-saeculum and micro-turning theory.
