I have a confession A sort of history obsession. I relate everything to history like it’s my profession. 16-18th C. -specific timeframe expression. “That potato looks like a sedan chair.” “Cummings thinks he’s Thomas Cromwell.” It may be a digression But it’s my ND disposition.

Two of the most qualified women in the country ran for president against an unqualified, racist game show host who had a history of committing fraud and sexual abuse. And the country was basically split 50-50. That should tell us some things.
