AMERICAN POLITICS & HISTORY
Will African Americans Have To Leave America Eventually? (Part 1)
Notes on my America
Empires Rise, Empires Fall
History tells me empires do fall and crumble. They become lesser nations but they still are a country. Spain and France were empires. Now, they aren’t. The Ottoman empire is likewise gone. This is one reason why the Palestinian question remains unresolved. The Ottomans once had that area in check; now they are long gone.
The United States of Trump
Despite my difficulties with American history, I never thought the United States would fall apart so quickly. I never thought it would balkanize and become multiple countries within one border. I never thought they would elect horrible people like Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. I never thought that Joe Biden would seem reasonable because of the chance that Donald Trump would get a second term. But things happen. Any acceptance of Donald Trump as the national leader in America is an embrace of hate, racism, sexism, misogny, homophobia, transphobia, and sociopathic, authoritarian rule. America has never been authoritarian in my lifetime in an overt way. Is it coming? Is America to become Chile in 1973?
