In the examples that I suggested, the political figures dominated the political process in defining the Crisis in their countries. There was no single charismatic figure leading in the American Revolution; political power was more dispersed.

Donald Trump is not the Gray Champion; he is too divisive

Lincoln, FDR, and Churchill were just as divisive.  It's just that after the crisis, the divisiveness is written out of the history books.

Trump is a demon. Demons are not gray champions. Trump is a contributing cause of the crisis; a personification of it. Personifications and causes of the Crisis are not gray champions.

Lincoln, FDR and Churchill divisive during the crisis? Yes, they were. And I don't think that was written out; we know. A crisis is a fight. The good guys have always won. This time, if Trump the bad guy wins, that will break a 540-year streak.

Is our generational constellation inferior to all those who came before? Only in that case will Trump and his minions win the crisis fight. But, maybe we are just too spoiled; too flabby; too ruined by success.
