I'll never understand why some people only like democracy when "our side" wins? No one died last night; have more faith in our institutions.

We have spent 15 years of war on terror weakening our institutions. That's my concern.

our institutions are enduring - history proves it - and weakened doesn't mean abandoned or failed.

I hope you're right. But I also worry there is enough that's new about this moment in history that history isn't proof.

history is proof but maybe not sufficient evidence; time will tell but I don't think much is new about any of this really.

well, Europe is like 1930's Europe now! Watch Austria's election 12/4 - I'd argue we are not Europe.

Agree that Europe is like 1930s Europe. I'm just not confident we aren't as well.
