Bill Whittle has several ongoing commentary series called Right Angle, The Virtue Signal, and Moving Back to America.
The Moving Back to America series is generally more upbeat and often focuses on things we can do to try and get America back from the hands of tyrannical Leftists.
This 18 minute video addresses the "Wheel of History" and where we are in this cyclical pattern using New York CIty to illustrate it.
Moving Back to America: "Guiding The Wheel"
He starts out with Santayana's most famous quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." and observes that it is powerful because it is true.
To buttress this point, he also references one of my favorite quotes from G. Michael Hopf:
Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
And, weak men create hard times.
He then transposes New York City onto this cycle, and it fits well.
