We have firmly entered the alternate reality, where Hitler won the war.
"Attacking the idea that telling the whole story of the United States is an ideological plot to cast the United States in a negative light testifies to a stunningly brittle insecurity about our nation and its past."

A study in which a sample size of 1 is much too large.
America has unwillingly embarked on an n=1 naturalistic study of effects of ketamine abuse + classical psychopathy in a man who "lacks the empathy gene" + possible bipolar disorder + the most obscene wealth in history + grandiose dumbassery.

Good trouble. Ask for that from your Member of Congress.
The idea that a political party must do more dramatic things in response to defeat is not new to the social media age. New bio of John Lewis describes his approach to Newt Gingrich et al taking the House in 1994.
Lewis applied Civil Rights era lessons and a willingness to burst norms to hurt Newt.
