    Ignorance really is bliss: The more I learn about history, the more concerned I get about the state of American politics.

        It does seem to me there is an increasingly articulate opposition, which could translate into a new political ideology, at least

        Bill sees America as incredibily resilient. I tend to think it's safer to assume some fragility.

        I'm not sanguine. Civil War, Depression, Vietnam, Iraq, '08 crash all had severe consequences. But nation held.

        that's interesting. 🤔 The more I read history the more I realize there isn't anything new under the sun.

        25% of Americans in a recent real survey thought the sun revolved around the earth. Morons out there & they get to vote, too!

        yes. However the more we learn from history, the more prepared we are to address those concerns. Democracy ain't for the timid
