What do you think politics/the world is like in 2017? What are the significant trends? If you asked me to just, off the top of my head, name the most significant things of our time it would be something like:
Trump
Putin
Trudea/Merkel/Macron being presented as the somewhat opposite of Trump
People binge watching Netflix
Everyone is on their phones 24/7
Everyone is on the internet
"Fake news"
An astonishing amount of people suffer from anxiety and depression
The refugee/migrant crisis and increasing cultural tensions
Millenials can't find jobs are have so much debt with college loans
Cost of living is going up, rent is going up
How would you condense this into a statement about our age? What is happening?

To clarify, this really is half of it. Women voting has been a catastrophe. The other half is the still increasing urbanization, the unabomber was right and there's no way out.

New Weimar
Whites are increasingly politically divided. The left want open borders, are anti-patriotism, want to strip the police of power and put feminism on a pedestal. The right calls for immigration laws to be enforced, the strengthening of police forces in war-like areas around the country and a 'common sense' approach to social issues.
That's not even touching on the further divide with so many immigrants, especially illegals, forming pocket societies within the country. Different language, culture, race and no desire to assimilate to mainstream culture.
Whites are already a hated group in media and violence against them by minorities is always justified as "payback" for whatever happened centuries ago. If whites ever became a minority, expect no mercy from savagery of the various brown people. White flight will take place as the race responsible for creating the greatest country in the world is persecuted in their own home. Certain European countries and perhaps Australia will be the only places left and you can bet that the same thing will be pushed on those places.
The future is bleak. Trump's victory proved that there is some fight left though.

Culture past 2008-2012 is marked by a decrease in readily identifiable characteristics - with the advent of the smartphones, the innumerable subcultures found on the internet have never been more easily accessible thanks to the internet, ushering in a new era and the removal of distance as an inhibitor to cultural and personal development with people across the globe.

We're at that point where, in a century, people will say "how didn't they see it coming?"
Though really I'd summarise it as "everything is cheap, besides what is needed which is expensive if its even there at all."
