Real hardship will beset the land, with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation and empire. The very survival of the nation will feel at stake. Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II.\u201d \u2013<\/em><strong>\u00a0Strauss &amp; Howe<\/strong>\u00a0<em>\u2013<\/em>\u00a0<strong>The Fourth Turning\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"n3VNCb\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-245903?width=620&amp;size=1.4382022471910112\" alt=\"How a contested election could send the U.S. into a constitutional crisis - MarketWatch\" width=\"258\" height=\"179\" data-noaft=\"1\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"n3VNCb\" src=\"https:\/\/compote.slate.com\/images\/63918aa9-cf4f-4965-b90d-3278cc75fc4f.jpeg?width=780&amp;height=520&amp;rect=4500x3000&amp;offset=0x0\" alt=\"It's not the chairman of the Joint Chiefs' job to remove Trump from office if he won't leave.\" width=\"269\" height=\"179\" data-noaft=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere is no darkness but ignorance. The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.\u201d<\/em><strong>\u00a0William Shakespeare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I read The Fourth Turning in 2006, after seeing it described in John Mauldin and Doug Casey\u2019s newsletters as an uncannily accurate assessment of American history based upon generational configurations which recur on eighty-year cycles, a long human life. Strauss and Howe wrote the book in 1997 and used their generational theory to predict the Crisis that would begin in the mid-2000\u2019s and come to an indeterminate climax in the mid-2020\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a student of history, the theory spoke to me. I have been writing articles since 2009, using the Fourth Turning as a guide to interpreting what has been happening and what might happen as this crisis period accelerates towards its violent culmination. The quotes above perfectly capture exactly what has happened since this crisis began in September 2008, with the Fed\/Wall Street created financial collapse.
