We are 9 years into this social moment, which puts us like 1782, 1869, and 1938 in the last 4Ts. Were any of these years as "un-4t-like" as 2017? I would say no!
How is 2017 un 4T like, authoritarian populism won out in the US, the supply of order is low but the demand is rising, crime rates are low, birth rates are low, the generation gap is gone, civic trust is at a nadir(what one would expect in a pre regeneracy 4T). This is the most socially and politically tumultuous period in the US since the late '60s and '70s, the last "social moment", but all the trends I outlined are 4T trends.
