Indigenous people must love that, being toward the bottom of the evolutionary ladder.

Let me just say I was not surprised by this from the opening paragraph
"It lacks mainstream academic validity or support, although it has been applied in management consulting"
It really sounded like management consultant speak.

Don Beck used it in conflict mediation in South Africa. It's also useful in helping NGO's understand how to communicate with different groups in a society.
The philosopher Ken Wilber has also used it as a model for human potential and spirituality, consequently it has been used in various religious or spiritual communities as a guide for reforming preaching or practices to make them more relevant. Ken Wilber's books have also been read by some politicians and political communicators.

This is Wilber's model, which was shaped heavily by his own experience of Zen Buddhism. Earlier Spiral Dynamics was more generic- Clare Graves actually didn't dwell alot on the exact nature of higher stages, only describing the integral stage as having a re-emergence of spirituality based on mysticism.
Barak Obama was at the Yellow/Turquoise, second-tier stage. Currently, only a small percentage of the US population is at this stage. Pope Francis was also expressing this level, perhaps even manifesting some aspects of Turquoise/Teal.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's philosophy seems like the best candidate from a Christian POV for embodying Turquoise/Teal values. Richard Rohr might also be said to be inhabiting this stage in a thoroughgoing way.

"Faith in my fellow Americans"? I no longer have any. Both Right and Left have their own forms of decadence.
But the tenacity of the faith in one man, his lies and delusions is truly unbelievable.
It is even more disturbing when Christian faith is highjacked the process.

The economy is in a free fall - as a result of the presidents actions.
Business are unable to plan, with multiple companies revising their forcast or even refusing to make any forecast.
The Executive branch has stepped all over Congress with multiple EO's that are clearly illegal (redirecting funds authorized by Congress, destroying entire agencies etc.
...and the Excutive branch is 2+ weeks into disobeying a direct 9-0 ruling from the USSC.
Still, 43.9% approve.
Americans: You fail.

For a lot of Trump supporters, disapproval of him is like disapproval of self. Its too much to bear.

Unless you'd like to disclaim the diagram in post #21 as being not related to spiral whats-it, I find it hard to take it seriously.

White Evangelicals most supportive of Trump 100 days in: Pew
Approval rating underwater among [almost] all other religious demographics
Overall, Trump has an approval rating of 40% with the American public, while 59% disapproved of his job performance.Trump’s strongest religious demographic is white Evangelical Protestants. The president boasts a 72% approval rating with this group. Trump has an approval rating of 51% among both white, non-Evangelical Protestants and white Catholics.
Conversely, most Christians (52%) disapprove of the Trump administration’s moves to “substantially increase tariffs on imported goods.” White Evangelical Protestants were an outlier, as a strong majority (67%) said they approved of the tariffs.
White Evangelicals were also the only group where a majority (57%) said they trusted Trump’s words more than those of previous presidents.
