We have not seen the trial and error of a crisis, we have only seen the trial and failure of a false regeneracy, ideas which just do not work so the movement fails. We do have two sets of values taking turns.You are seeing obvious signs of a regeneracy going on right in front of your face. The time for S&H's as written, as used by blues and as promoted by its initial followers/believers has already come and gone for the most part. Yet, you're still clinging to it and treating it and using the theory as if it's set in stone. At some point, you have to scrap the theory that you were sold or some how or another convinced as being the truth or gospel and you need to begin to adjust and modify it to bring it in line with the times.
We are due for a Crisis by the calendar. We would be crisis bound if the Industrial Age pattern were holding. I am dubious. Add 1964 as the height of the awakening to half of four score and seven and we are well overdue.
We are seeing a faux rejection of the establishment by Trump. We have a movement to reject Washington DC which could have been a regeneracy if real, and some will say it is a regeneracy. I do not see it as sincere, as it incorporates The Swamp, so it is failing spectacularly as a false regeneracy. Bush 43's invasion of Iraq also failed. The Democrats similarly failed to capture enough ongoing votes to create anything like the New Deal.
Maybe in the near future...
