In fact I concur with almost the entirety of your last post as a historical narrative.

History moves in cycles. Or actually like a pendulum. We will always swing back and forth in our politics and economics. Thus no bad will ever last forever, and unfortunately neither will any good.

But when the pendulum swings back, America will have good days ahead of it. We survived a Civil War that I'm certain many who lived through thought America would never recover from. We'll survive Trump and the madness of the GOP because there's enough of us who can see them for what they are.

And maybe we'll get lucky and cholesterol will do its thing on the orange skidmark. I don't think Vance will be as bad as Trump. He actually made a slip of the tongue and said something he really thinks, and not just what the knuckle draggers want to hear.
