This historic period is completely embarrassing .... and I'm up in Canada!
When we read about historic politicians and the things they said 100 years ago, the US had Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. There are political debates about the good and bad things they did but all of them had sensible and meaningful quotes about society, philosophy and government .... they were educated in rhetoric and everything they said and wrote came from a base of a lot of education and understanding.
The US in the 2020s has an 80 year old man who could barely manage the country and a clown that never makes any sense.
They will laugh at all of us in a hundred years for the stupidity we all put up with in our world leadership.
Depending on how this all ends, there will be less laughter and more tragic reminders about how fascism came back a second time, with a vengeance.
Fascism marched in with violence and force the first time ..... we're sleep walking into it this time.
