Robert Heinlein was right about the “Crazy Years”. He was just off by a few decades.

“The Crazy Years” described as “Considerable technical advance during this period, accompanied by a gradual deterioration of mores, orientation, and social institutions, terminating in mass psychoses in the sixth decade, and the interregnum.”

Heinlein's timeline in his future history continued from the Crazy Years to the rise of the first American dictator, Nehemiah Scudder, a preacher turned politician. He was supported by fundamentalist Christians in the South and Midwest. Heinlein was no Christian, rejecting his own Baptist upbringing, but he understood the principle that leftist excesses lead to a reaction. That us what happened in Germany and Spain.
