I also don't see any actual generational theory, other than the reference in the title.

At this point, it is safe to assume that liberal journalists know conservatives either as deceased persons or as contemporary stereotypes (hicks in Appalachia, snake-handlers, young-Earth creationists, Holy Rollers, people who believe to this day that Barack Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya, etc.) and of course ranters devoid of morals and kindness (like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh).  

The real problem is that America no longer has much of a center-right, people with some flexibility on social issues and who have an interest in a vibrant economy in which financial assets don't get trivialized in inflation.

It's unfortunate; neither side can understand the other at all. It's where we get the idea of Civil War II. Ostensibly, the writer of Heroes of the Fourth Turning is trying to shed light on how the political right thinks and why they supported Trump. He comes from a conservative Catholic background himself (I am getting this from the playbill for the show).
