    I read a book maybe 20 years ago called the 4th Turning. This kind of feels like it and it is when the book said it was going to be.

          The premise of the book is that US history goes through more or less periodic phases and there are common generational changes. The book I think predicted the start of the 4th turning about now. Turnings generally start with weakening goverments and some crisis and often often wars. This is all from memory… Someone else may know more.
