    I was thinking about this today, but I never thought I’d be living through, what I think of, as a major world event. This isn’t a world War (in name), but the history books WILL likely bring up this period on the States. In what manner they’re mentioned, good, bad, or indifferent, is yet to be seen. I imagine grandkids being bewildered when I tell them I lived through this… hopefully.

      History is written not by the victor, but by academics, and if there’s one thing intelligent people agree on it is that Trump is a fucking moron.

      History will not be kind.

      Give it time.

      I never thought I’d be living through, what I think of, as a major world event.

      I’m an older X-er. I’ve had it up to here with major world events. Boring times. I want to live in BORING TIMES.

      but the history books WILL likely bring up this period on the States. In what manner they’re mentioned, good, bad, or indifferent, is yet to be seen.

      I feel very sure we can predict in what manner they will be mentioned. The question is how bad will it be.
