I suspect that the 1T was there, of course, but that it was a weak 1T.

It existed, it was just weak because both the crown and parliament were exhausted.

Quote:I think that Kinser has stated a crucial point-if the cold civil war remains cold, both sides will be exhausted as the beginning of the 1T. Not only exhausted, but the passion will be dying along with the Boomers.


And Xers-who will be aging into the mature Nomad phase-will be taking over the country.

Indeed.  And that is things happen at the most optimistic juncture.  IE Trump is Re-elected with a Nationalist-Populist majority in the House, and is allowed to have his wall and moderate reforms. and come 20204 the Boomers will have mostly aged out.

That being said I'm not necessarily an optimist.  To me it appears that the left will eventually force the civil war going hot.  If such happens and they win they will set up a socialist system that will collapse after a saeculum if it even survives the next 2T, if the Progressive-Nationalists win then the worst aspects of those on that side will be implemented.

One thing I'm not is optimistic.
