And if you insisst that he's part of the US cycle, his empty talk of Hope and Change™ is very Boomer-like.

Without such talk, we stay mired in cynicism typical of Gen X and go nowhere at all. Where there is no vision, the people perish.

You want a vision? What about survival? Both Global Warming and Islamism/overpopulation of MENA threaten us. Not to mention other big problems. If we don't survive, neither will your religion and spiritualism. Also, no arts and sciences.

Vision's your thing, survival's ours - the Nomads'. So if anyone should be in charge, it's us. People like you have achieved nothing in more than 50 years. You have written many stupid sentences, read many stupid sentences, and esp. talked many stupid sentences. Go to the garbage heap of history.

Global warming for sure, and it does take some vision to see beyond the problem to the solution, a greener world. Islamism is a threat too, although it may not be a threat to our survival, but to the lives of its victims for sure. But, the USA seems to be handling it pretty well, except that this handling also kills other innocent victims. So, maybe not so well. And we betray our allies too, so, not so well in that dept. either. Maybe with better Boomers in charge, we'd have the vision to do it better. 

Sorry, but Boomers were not the only folks voting in the years 1980, 1994, 2000, 2010 and 2016.

You can't do without vision; sorry. Imagination is the source of all creation and all achievement. Try putting up a building with no architect and no blueprints. In MBTI terms, a world with all STs and no NFs will not work. The left Boomers and left Xers have to work together to achieve victory in the 4T, like the book described (and with Millennials too). You won't be among them, and that's your choice. 

And Xers won't be in charge, at least not during the 4T, sorry about that, because no good potential Xer leaders are ever willing to step up and lead. They are out there; they are just preferring to do other things, because of their general cynicism about government (having imbibed the Reagan philosophy in youth; too bad). The best you can put up is someone like Beto O'Rourke. He's fine as a congressman and a rock star, but a president he ain't. Kamala Harris? I mean, gimme a break, man. But maybe you guys are better managers than many stuck-up boomers, I don't know.
