We’d lose a lot in the way of inanimate objects (some great architecture, artwork, historic artifacts), but nothing alive of any value.

Born and raised here of Americans born natively for 250+ years. I switched to British spelling years ago because of all the books I’d been reading and because I liked it better.

Possibly controversial take, but by pursuing the presidency he should have realised that, if it came to it, he should be putting the integrity of the Republic above his and his family’s future personal safety. And have been willing to go completely scorched earth if necessary (and it is necessary).

Possibly the best example: Patrick Ferguson up in a tree with one of his breechloading rifles with good ol’G.W. on horseback in his sights. He felt it would have been ungentlemanly to shoot. The modern GOP seems like the political equivalent of that.

Knowing in detail German history in that period, I’m surprised I didn’t realise the Hindenburg comparison before, because it’s terrifyingly apt.

These fools are quoting people who would have had them all hanged.
