Wow, this knocked me out. I felt a tightness in my throat as I finished it. A great deal of the present confusion in this country as well as the recent past here and in Europe is explained in a clear, if frightening, way. The looming problem is clearly the electoral college. Bu what to do about it? I think I feel an urge to start praying....
A feature of this series which I appreciate is the acknowledgement of uncertainty around "It" happening in the US. There are important and reasonable arguments supporting, "yes," "no," and "maybe, if..." answers. A lot of online political discussion is based on black-and-white-thinking. Maybe B&W thinking is inevitable given social media. But it's nice to read essays which use history to paint with more colors.
