The general thrust of the meaning of the Trump campaign is accurate—and all the elites are in denial on that point.

I believe the “polls” are blatant propaganda, polling malpractice, and I believe Trump should win (even after Democrat fraudulent votes are manufactured), but it is not 100% guaranteed so the larger point is valid.

We are living in interesting times indeed, and I see many parallels with the pre Civil War period.

There was a meeting in the 1820s between John Quincy Adams and John Calhoun where the long term future of the country was discussed. It was a cordial discussion. Both men disagreed on the major issues of the time (representing different parts of the country) and they were trying to figure out if some sort of lasting compromise could be reached. They concluded it could not be—that the differences were too great and they both predicted that would be a Civil War at some point.

It took forty years after their meeting for the Civil War to start.

So maybe we have forty years left or maybe none or maybe somewhere in between.

I admit that I am not very good at predictions—so I won’t go there.

I agree with the “forty years” part of your assertion. IMHO, though, we have already burned through thirty-nine-and a half.

“So maybe we have forty years left or maybe none or maybe somewhere in between.”

I’d say closer to “maybe none” if the Wicked Witch gets in and tries to ban guns.

I saw a great meme yesterday, attributed to FReeper Travis McGee http://coldfury.com/2016/10/15/i-repeat-come-and-take-them/:

“If you have 18 guns, and Hillary’s new gun laws ban 12 of them, how many guns will you have?

18 guns.

Your move, Hillary.”

If the Elites slide Cankles into the White House, we will have an unprosecuted felon "president" who likes to use the IRS, the FBI and the DOJ against her political enemies.

That movie doesn't end well.
