My earlier post got me so worked up that I can’t focus on other things so I thought I might as well write another blog post on the current situation as I see it. But first I would like to share a book that I have been reading called: “The Fourth Turning” by authors William Strauss and Neil Howe. It was first published in 1997 and is a study about generational cycles within American history and how we are currently at a crisis period in which a new social contract will be established because the old social contract has failed us collectively!
Here are a few take a ways:
The new social contract will probably be in place by 2025 according to past cycles.
The polarization and gridlock of our society will be eliminated through the ruthless defeat of one side of the political debate. The losing side will be defeated so completely that it won’t arise again for the next thirty years. Things have to be that way for society to make the next quantum leap…
The winning side will be a grass roots rebellion that will be completely unexpected. New solutions will come from the grass roots and not from the elite.
If we didn’t have the corona virus crisis it would have been some other crisis that brought us to lock down. Previous crisis cycles in American history were all wars…The Revolutionary War, The Civil War; and World War II. We can consider ourselves lucky that this time we chose a corona virus instead of an actual war! There always needs to be a crisis.
The writing on the wall is pretty clear. This election is the final battle! It becomes obvious that the election will be contested, but how is the real question. I think that certain states, possibly like New York and California might not be able to certify their election results because of provable voter fraud with the mail in voting. If a state can’t certify their election results they can’t participate in the electoral college election process. States that can certify their election results will be tasked via the constitution to select the next president without the participation of those states that are unable to certify vote results. The electoral college will do its task even if several states are missing because constitutionally it it required to.
This is what will be contested IMHO.
The afore mentioned book also talks about a turning point as each generation shifts from playing one role into that of playing another role. This switch is so deep and profound that it can be recognized as happening at a certain day or even week. We are seeing this happen right now as entire segments of the population switch to take on new roles in this social drama.
Ultimately women will side with stability and law enforcement over social violence. They need to feel safe within their homes. We see this shift happening right now.
College students are beginning to protest the draconian restrictions of the Covid 19 lock down. The Social Justice Warrior generation has aged and moved into a new social role. This shift is happening as we speak just prior to this election. There is a new generation of college students that is now acting out.
Reaction videos are flooding the internet with young people who are rediscovering the intensity, passion and hope of the hippie generation. Make love, not war! This shift is building emotional bonds between today’s youth and those of us from the 60’s and 70’s. Racial hatred, violence and prejudice have no place in this coming golden society.
Lastly, the newly created social contract will be fair for all levels of society, not just the privileged elite. But there will not be any free hand outs either. And all this will be put in place by 2025! What a time to be alive!
