The fascinating cycles described by Neil Howe and William Strauss in their book The Fourth Turning seem to continue uninterrupted.
They noted the approximately 80yr (4 generations) violence cycle where the US is involved in a war or revolution that changes its history. The list is War of Independence, Civil War, WW2 and we're due the next.
This cycle looks like it will result in the end of the US as we know it.

I've heard of this cycle, but consider it a meaningless overlay of statistics on far more complicated geoeconomic events.
However, I agree that the period of US hegemony is ending. Whether this is good or bad will be argued by historians.
