I understand, but I think you should consider 4th turning theory to get an understanding of what is evolving. We Americans are now in another epic time similar to the American Revolution, Civil War, Depression-WWII.  These are the 70-75 year intervals that involves generational dynamics. The post WWII age  is being dissolved. How it all plays out is not certain. Looks like Trump may be the transitional (Grey Champion) figure as were Ben Franklin, Lincoln, Roosevelt. (These men were far from the beatified figures we think they were.)  The good, bad, moral, corrupt, will all be thrown into an event vortex where ethics and honesty will seem secondary until the epic ends in in a catharsis. Could end in annihilation of nation or mankind, a national reconfiguration into regional republics of sorts,  a totalitarian state, whatever.  How it ends will shape the political, social, and economic landscape for another 70 years.  Have hope and prey; and remember that good can evolve from evil.
