Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I read the book back when it came out, and came back to the theory recently with the American election.
I've enjoyed catching up on all these great threads, but I can't help notice how partisan many of them seem to be. I prefer to take a big picture view.
I could see Trump as the GC, but we'll have to wait for things to shake out.
We had Trump, Bernie and Clinton, all candidates for the GC moniker. Bernie is still a player FWIW and could save the Dem party from what looks like certain death.
I think fear of Trump is exaggerated, and fear of Clinton underestimated.
In any case, there was no good choice and both paths lead to increased division.
I see the 2T issues roaring back in this 4T. Half the boomers didn't buy into the peace-love thing. And the ones that did weren't grounded in reality.
We will need a resolution of this culture war, and I hope it is through working together with mutual respect.
I see this coming through the progressive Dems working together with elements on the right to reshape the two parties and ignore the bigoted, angry and divisive rhetoric from both establishments.
