I agree with Bannon on humanity's system of cycles. As a nation we are in a system of cycles where we periodically face a series of societal challenges. We elect a change-agent president to lead us through these challenges and the nation rallies around him, and we have a long period of societal conformity.
We're in the crisis period again, and Trump is our change-agent president. The last three such presidents were Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. 20 years in power and the general crushing of the opposing party is standard fare.
Now the bad news: The series of crises always peaks with a total war against a peer power. If we're lucky that'll be a nuclear war with North Korea. If we're not lucky it'll be with someone bigger than North Korea.
Additional bad news: Rock music and metal were the music of revolt from a previous era of nonconformity. We'll always have the music that has already been recorded, but our culture will not be producing anymore great rock music for a good long time.
