Thanks for this summary of Strauss's and Howe's generational theory and The Fourth Turning in particular. However, you have not correctly identified the 3rd and 4th turnings of the present cycle.

The third turning started at the beginning of the 80's with Good Morning in America of the Reagan era.

The fourth turning started with the financial crisis of 2008. The current crisis phase will probably end by 2028-30 (or sooner) depending on what happens as we have not reach a regeneracy of our society yet.

I'm also familiar with this historical framework and I invite you to read my own Substack page.

Best regards.
