Help me out - has this ever happened before in history? I'm no historyfag but I do have a half-reasonable grasp of it. Five years ago, I would have given you all kinds of reasons why Western culture is effectively due for complete societal, economic, and governmental implosion, based on it matching point for point everything that led to the downfall of previous civilizations, ie Romans etc.  Then, Trump came along, and with him, the Q movement that has washed across the globe touching many more countries than just the US (please come to Canada soon!!!).  I feel like in 2018 with the Kavanaugh hearings, the decades old left-swinging pendulum finally cracked into the wall. 2019 feels like it is just the beginning of that same pendulum swinging back towards the right.  That said, meaningful progress is being made on every front that matters, and I'm now incredibly optimistic for the future.  My personal belief is that God has intervened and we are indeed entering a new (ie next) age where things are going to be better.  Regardless what your beliefs are, please help me with this question: Has anything like this ever happened before in history that you're aware of, where such intense corruption actually lost its power grip and a society/civilization was able to recover, and return to another golden age?
