The Fourth Turning was written 20 years ago, and ACCURATELY predicted the elements of what our society has gone through so far. This article discusses the predictions for 2019 though to 2025.
It's all theory... of course.
But...

But well worth some consideration, especially for the hangman.

Lincoln’s election with only 40% of the popular vote, prompting the attack on Fort Sumpter, ... Which is where I stopped reading. First, it's "Fort Sumter", and we have had good spelling checkers for over 20 years.
But secondly, the attack was prompted by an act of deliberate betrayal by the North. Lincoln had promised that Fort Sumter would not be resupplied, and the South had responded that they would allow the garrison to evacuate with full military honors.
Lincoln then broke that solemn promise, and ordered the Fort resupplied.
And so went the rest of the War Between the States, between me of honor and scoundrels. Alas for the old Republic, the scoundrels won.

It always amazes me that Americans expect non-English speakers to have perfect diction and English speaking ability. What's the matter with you?

Ahem. Now as to your points. I agree with you.
Now, don’t get me all worked up about Lincoln and the rest of the tyrants. It is infuriating.

“The length of time from the American Revolution climax in 1781 until the Civil War climax in 1863 was 82 years. The next climax in 1944 was 81 years after the Civil War climax. Therefore, we can expect a climax to this current Crisis sometime in the 2025 range.”
So now I need to look up what happened around 1620 and 1700.

Well, if you write anything at all, and wait 20 years, there is a good likelihood most or all of it will come true.
I think that based on the headline and blog title, the author just likes words ending with “urning.”
Here are some suggestions:
Churning
Spurning
Adjourning
You’re welcome.
