How the Charges Against Trump Are Linked To A Century-Old Fight Against The Klan

The Root
There are. Also, progressivism, robber barons, gilded age. Unfortunately, a world war might follow. Then, a red scare, unionization and a New Deal. History is literally repeating. The unknown variable is climate change.

Already has. Just look at all the places with no water and food.
Other unknown variable imho, is nuclear weaponary, which made it impossible to continue WW2. We haven't seen or experienced a "hot" war between nuclear nations since that's been possible. (Though I imagine climate change makes nuclear confrontation more likely, albeit probably indirectly.)
My bet is an India/ China tactical nuclear exchange over Kashmir. I really donāt know why, just a feeling. So take it with a grain of salt š§
Missed the depression after red scare. Then you need a second red scare after the Second World War, which comes after new deal.
Wait. You mean to tell me conservatives have ALWAYS been pieces of shit?
I donāt even consider it an actual ideology. It is purely reactionary and oppositional. Unless they actually came out and admitted their adherence to hierarchy and authoritarianism. But they wonāt do that because itās not popular. Hence, no actual principles.

I've been saying it for years: were currently going through a soft reboot of the Post-Civil War/Reconstruction era. There are an incredible number of parallels.
