Really good thoughts here by Mike Duncan. If you haven’t read “The Storm before the Storm” now would be a good time
"The high-water mark of America’s influence over the world has come and gone. All empires are transitory, right? If you rise, you’re inevitably going to stagnate and fall," says American political history author and podcaster @mikeduncan.bsky.social.

Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.
