I don't understand viewing the Turning changes based on elections. What if the next 3 straight Presidentials are all Democratic finishes & we have no other major event besides COVID-19 the rest of the decade? Would that imply the 1T actually started in late 2020? What if the Great Resignation & switchover to remote work or just people unwilling to accept a specific job based on the pay is itself the ushering in of the 1T? There is a lot of anger circulating around Millennial & Zoomer gens online about the super-rich billionaire class as well as about housing prices & just comparison of quality of life at same age vs prior times. I don't see this anger ending any time soon. It may turn into despair once the realisation kicks in that time is running out for us Millennials (& X) at least when it comes to our own QOL. Many articles abound about the Millennial generation not having as good quality of life compared to their parents' generation. Is that the whole point of the 'Hero' archetype? Our archetype will end up taking a hit for the saeculum to advance onwards? Then we end up with a boring decade in the 2030s like the 1950s (lot of high-tech, clean, orderly, & safe yes but a monotonous 'square' life). Maybe we'll actually want that by then. I wonder how a 2T will feel to us Millennials.
