John wrote:** Regeneracy
The is the "regeneracy" concept in generational theory, which refers
to the regeneration of civic unity for the first time since the end of
the preceding crisis war.
The country was bitterly divided against FDR, but they united behind
him after the Pearl Harbor attack and the Bataan Death March.
Exactly the same thing will happen today. If there's an attack on
American soil, or a major military defeat overseas, then Americans
will put aside their political differences and unite behind Trump (or
the next president) overnight.
The United States will not unify on a grand scale, if and when China (or whoever) decides to challenge the US in a way that presents an existential threat. The assumptions John makes are similar to some fund manager or a weatherman who says, "Tomorrow will look much the same as today." The flaw in Generational Theory - which extends from Fourth Turning is that the US population is homogeneous and all on the same generational timeline. I know John has said his version corrects the flaws, but I see no evidence that this major problem is addressed. It sounds like, "Well that's the way it's always been, so next time will be too."
The tens of millions of people from dozens of 3rd World countries, from Mexico, South & Central America, China, Somalia, Caribbean, African and Muslim countries, Eastern Europe, you name it - will absolutely not find common cause with white Westerners, nor will they lay their lives on the line, unite behind a person and peoples they have nothing in common with, who care nothing of the Western concepts of law, order, human rights, jurisprudence, or any other aspect of Western culture other than the things they can extract from it.
These tens of millions cannot be compared to the moderately disparate European populations who migrated to the US prior to WWII. Those Irish, Italian and Germans were able to unite, all coming from a small geographic European theater. But today, the differences are too great and the racial hatreds too wide. The ethnic hatreds Mexicans have for Blacks, the ethnic hatreds Koreans also have for Blacks will not be forgotten so that they might enter a marriage of convenience, join whitey, and defeat the existential threat - to save the Red White and Blue. How hilarious.
In addition, those newly arrived immigrants can simply opt out of the fighting; they will find any excuse or means to stay on the sidelines. If necessary they can always relocate out of harm's way to their source country or nearby countries such as Canada or Mexico. They can decline on religious grounds as well.
It is clearly ludicrous to imagine some 20-40 million Mexicans, lining up in recruiting stations to go to battle against China in order to protect the United States of America and apple pie and The Donald. It is really laughable. However, they just might feast on the corpse that remains of the former US. Mexico may also use the opportunity to annex southern parts of the US, using the excuse of "protecting their peoples" from racist whitey. I don't know if you're aware, but Mexicans culturally and viscerally believe that the territories they lost in the Mexican-American War will someday be reclaimed. Mexican visitors to the Alamo spit on the monument. I know. I have seen the HUGE volumes of spit on the plaques there. The Aztlan is in their cultural DNA.
The problem extends beyond recent immigrants. It includes disaffected whites, who today are vilified and reviled. Many already believe the West is in irreversible decline and see no reason to die in order to preserve something that will be inherited by foreign ingrates and gangsters.
MS-13 gang members enter US armed forces to gain weapons and tactics experience for the express purpose of forming dangerous race-based militias. Those gang-bangers will not do the same when the chance of death rises as it does during world wars - and when they face the prospect of being turned into hamburger, the only reward being PTSD and missing limbs, where they'd be useless in a criminal gang.
Black gangsters from the hood will absolutely not be making beelines to recruiting stations to enter the hamburger mill to save Yankee Doodle; they've been raised from birth being taught White America is racist and seeks to marginalize them.
You have a very big problem to overcome here: Belief in the 'Magic Dirt Theory', upon which this relies, complete lack of understanding the current state of US cultural divide, and complete lack of understanding of the deeply held belief Mexicans have that the southern US belongs to them.
