I can’t say this is where it all started for me.
But Jim Quinn’s updates on Strauss & Howe’s Fourth Turning coalesced my overall outlook. Gave it all cohesion.
Including the Grey Champion in Trump’s role, when he arrived on the scene.
Quinn has now written several dozen installments in this series, going back at least a decade.
This one is pretty typical.
Earlier memorable ones include reflections on “Hey You” (Pink Floyd) and parallels to Hunger Games.

Haven’t even read this one yet …. but a quick skim confirms my expectations.
If you haven’t been introduced … ENJOY!
