As you know, Joe, I'm not quite as optimistic as you are. Still, I hope you're right!
But what a clear, instructive, and elegant guide through the successive oligarchies of this nation and the reasons for their rise and fall! You are a true historian. I also love the way you intertwine historical fact with your own experience, thoughts, and questions. 5 Stars!
Don't forget that Teddy Roosevelt became President because McKinley was assassinated. That sure won't be the case if the next bullet gets more than an ear. We'll get someone who thinks husbands should vote for their wives and the more kids he can make her produce, the more votes he will get. I guess I'm not quite as optimistic, especially since more women voted for Trump than did for Kamala. Go figure!
Oh Man, As I read through your last post I thought - OMG things are so bad that optimism has finally been depleted from Joe. But alas, you pulled us out of hopelessness in the last few paragraphs, Joe. Yea! The return of the progressives and Trump not finishing his term. Thanks for the pulling me out of the doldrums for a few minutes.

Joe, re your comment about Trump not finishing his term - you said that last time too. Good read.
