A good corrective on this apocalyptic outlook is @rickperlstein. Things suck, but we're nowhere near where we got in 1968. If you haven't read Nixonland, his book on that era, I can't recommend it highly enough.https://twitter.com/EricKlinenberg/status/1266685853948149761 …

I don't bring up 1968 to trivialize or downplay what's happening now. Rather, I think that exceptionalism can lead to a helplessness and loss of hope. If you think America is on the brink like never before, it's paralyzing, and it creates opportunities for reptiles like Nixon
