I believe we are in the same "unraveling" super-saeculum as the Glorious Revolution. The true "crisis" hasn't happened yet, just the catalyst. The result of the Glorious Revolution put Catholicism to bed once and for all in England, something that the English had been dealing with since Henry VIII.
So what is America's core issue that we've been dealing with for years?
Look to the last Awakening. It was and has been "human rights," even starting with the Bill of Rights. Race as been front and center, but gender, sexual preference, and workers' rights also are included.
Trump isn't William or Mary. He is James II.
James II brought Catholicism back, just like Trump is returning issues of race, gender, sex, and rights back to the 1950s. Trump is the catalyst just like James II was.
Trump's victory looks like it awoke the Millennials, just like James II awoke the core Protestants to overthrow James II with William and Mary.
The sleeping giant has awoken.
I totally agree.
