This is a nation that stood up to fascism, nazism, communism...the beacon and mainyainer of the world order. On my husband's side of the family, 6 generations of military. His now dead grandfather fought in ww2.
Unfortunately most americans have short memories and because of the bubble they surround themselves with, are not aware of or have forgotten what the con's first term was like. Most have not lived under authoritarian rule & practice the politics of grievance. History repeats itself under such conditions.
