Similarly, the various totalitarians which Paul R. Johnson labeled "The Monsters" - during the last 4T, latched onto things like Spengler's writings, and proceeded to massively twist and abuse them to their own nefarious ends.
It's only a model - not a play book.
The sad thing is that we will all end up being smeared due to the abuse of these models by crazy people.
Generational Theory could have been so powerful and done so much good.
It's probably too late now to prevent an unfortunate outcome.
Crazy people latching onto a book and acting it out has happened. Consider Chapman and The Catcher in the Rye. Or McVeigh acting out The Turner Diaries. Hinckley and Taxi Driver. Or even Trump with Mein Kampf on his bedside table. So now Bannon with T4T. It happens.

Of course, he's not the only politician familiar with the book. Al Gore was another one. But he was cheated out of his turn in the White House. We Boomers could have had two additional good presidents (Gore and Hillary), and instead we got two of the worst ever. I think there are others who know about it.
