I can't be the only one to have noticed a pattern particularly with GenX of moving everything to Alternative everything. Alternative Music, Alternative Sports, now an Alternative Right (the Alt in Alt-Right stands for alternative). I'm unsure how that exactly ties in with the S&H meme that it is the prophets that drive such ideological and social changes, but it is conceivable that they greatly overestimated the power of prophet generations, or conversely that they were right in the power level but ignored the atonement-advancement cycle that seems to be in play.
Assuming that there is a back and forth, and that the nomad generation draws more from the previous generations than the prophet generation does, it would seem that Xers are in advancement mode (perhaps prematurely) already, and Millies are likely to follow suit while Boomers and what few Silents remain are clearly in atonement mode (perhaps post-seasonally).
As for separating red-blue discussions from theory discussions, I would consider this to be a discussion derived from theory (or at the very least my post is). Red and Blue discussions typically center more around individual politicians than political realignments.
Milo brings up some points I've been exploring lately.
It appears to me that the GOP is already split and may cease to be a viable major party. I would like to see a new party emerge from the ashes.
