This thread has devolved into a bunch of name-calling, but as a historian and teacher, let me give you all this insight: Remember this. Pay attention to what is going on right now, because you're living through history right now, and your grandchildren and great-grands could one day ask you what it was like, and who said what.
A lot of what we're going to hear in the next year or more will reflect on, and determine, what our national standards are and what we believe as a nation. No matter who you like or hate, you're going to be smarter, better informed, and more able to defend your own beliefs if you do.
The 2020s will be one of those decades, like the 1790s, the 1850s, or the 1920s and 1960s, that change everything. Mark my words.
I agree with you on the 1920s, but you can add the 1890s, and 1980s in that mix.
This is about what it has always been about.
Filthy rich oligarchs, and bankers, corrupting the entire system through business monopoly, and bribing politicians, and judges.
Until that is addressed, nothing will change.
FDR went a long way towards addressing, and fixing that very problem, and was popularly elected four times, because of it.
This led to the largest peace, and prosperity in the country's history between 1945-1980. Then it all fell apart when the oligarchs, and bankers got their guy in office.
If you really are a former teacher, then that means you deal in facts. And the fact is, Republicans mostly, and a few Democrats, want to end our experiment in Democracy, and install another King George III government, for their own wealth and power, backed by the filthy rich who do not want to participate.
It's just that simple, and every American is going to have to decide which side they're on. Working class America, or the bankers.
