Estimating who belongs in S&H's Millennials (not mainstream Millennials)
#21
If the 4T fails, the 2T will not make up for it. The USA will be in decline. I don't know why some people here think we can put things off to the 2T. There is no Awakening without decent fourth and first turnings. No foundation has been created for one, in that case. 2Ts are mainly cultural anyway. A 2T in a country still ruled by trickle-down and prejudice will probably just be an evangelical revival.

4Ts aren't guaranteed to be successful. However, every one of them in anglo-american history has been successful, meaning that the more progressive side won a clear victory, and the nation or its rulers then created conditions in which an Awakening could flourish.

Remember that half-way through a 4T, it may seem like it is failing. That is frequently how it looks. Consider Antietam, Pearl Harbor or Valley Forge. We are half-way through. The 4T will not end until about 2028. You can't say it is over in 2021 or 2025, and then call it a failure. That is not fair to ourselves.

Boomers are still some of the leaders. Blue Boomers will need to step up now and in the next 7 years and do their part, or the 4T will fail. We certainly can't leave things fully in the hands of Gen X and Millennials yet. We certainly can't leave things until an Awakening that won't come IF we leave things to it.

Let's do our part, folks. I helped in the Georgia Senate election, even though I am a youthful 71. Let's get out the youth vote in 2022.

There is no alternative to this view, if we want to have the right attitude toward our saeculum and what we need.

At a minimum: Trickle-down economics must be discarded. Democrats must win enough seats in congress to pass the House's and Biden's current program, and more. Domestic terrorists and violent right-wing rebels must be defeated. A post-conspiracy theory consensus must be created. A possible foreign challenge in circa 2025 must be handled.
