"Partisan sniping" will always happen, because the fortunes of our times hinges on which side wins. There's no way around that; especially in an election year. The only useful thing that the theory can do is illuminate to some extent what is happening, and where things will be going. The Fourth Turning idea, as well as other cyclic perspectives, tell you how things will move, and reassure us that we are not stuck with the way things are now.
