I like the idea that there are many grey champions, not just one. I thought back in 1997 that Hillary might be one; that didn't quite work out
2008 works quite well as the neo-crash that opened the 4T, much like the last crash did. The Trump election just confirms our crisis condition. People being deceived by demagogues and nationalist racists happened in the last 4T too, and Trump is Mussolini reincarnate, and this also resembles the Dixie hotheads.
I agree very much that this crisis resembles the 1854-1865 crisis more than 1929-1945. I even extend it back a few years before 1854.
I predict this crisis will be longer than average, and the slower rate of change today and longer-lived generations means the saeculum will run it's full 84 archetypal length. Look for the climax in the mid 2020s. Count on it
Our views are similar. I also think that the climax will occur around the mid-2020s and the resolution around 2028. However, I believe that's only a 12-year crisis because according to my 6 turning cycle the crisis did not begin until 2016. The GFC was nowhere near as significant as the 1929 Crash and Great Depression, the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Boston Tea Party, the Glorious Revolution, the extraordinarily high death rate during the settlement period or the desolation of the monasteries. The GFC is similar to the Depression of 1920-21 in significance. That event also occurred during an unravelling, not a crisis.
