When we are obviously not in a dictatorship three months from now, will she apologize, say she made a mistake and move on? Suspect not. After all she claimed the Kirk shooter was far right and never apologized.

She is incredibly selective in her historical analysis. But what the hey, she makes tons of money from gullible liberal women.

Cute that you think historians are rich.

That’s the whole point. She’s no longer an historian. She’s sold out and made herself into a content creator. And yes she’s making plenty of money from bored, middle aged white women who carry guilt wherever they go.

Middle aged (but not a boomer) white woman here. I don’t understand what you mean by “carry guilt with them,” please explain.

She’s still history faculty at Boston College. Sorry, you should google before spouting off. Ya know, do your own research!

You can't make this stuff up. Liberals are tripping over their own messaging. It's quite entertaining.

And it took only a few months for conservatives to surrender their country to Trump and his band of grifting misfits.

Was Obama ever accused of violating the Constitution? Such ignorance on your part.

NP. Let's not revise history just because we dislike Trump. Obama's deliberate killing of known American citizens with drones was absolutely called out as a violation of the Constitution both at the time and after.

Shame on people like you for trying to memory hole this crazy violation that actually exceeds anything Trump has done to date.

Trump unconstitutionally turned the whole federal government upside down, including disappearing ad doing who knows what to American citizens on American territory!

I'm referring to her daily column. It's no longer the work of an "historian," although she does maintain the faculty position. Her real source of income and acclaim now is her social media position.

It's not "leave that dictator alone" that liberals are shouting. No one likes Maduro. It's "stop getting America into foreign entanglements." Sheesh, even MAGA is shouting that.

The U.S. just kidnapped a leader of a country that also produces huge amounts of oil. What's the plan now, and how much is it going to cost us? Meanwhile, grocery prices and health care costs are skyrocketing, jobs are drying up, and what's Trump doing about it all? And why's he focusing on other countries when there are problems at home he should be focusing on?

Literally no one is supporting Maduro. They are concerned about the legality of just going into a country and taking a leader. It’s a really bad precedent.

I do NOT give her kudos for that.

When I first started reading HCR around 2020, she was a well-respected history professor with a way with words. Her historical analysis were interesting and beautifully written. I looked forward to it every day.

But in the last couple of years, since Trump and the 2024 election period, I guess, she has totally gone off the deep end. She doesn't even pretend to be factual and non-biased, and, as a PP pointed out, she has a very narrow definition of what makes her news columns each day. No question that her audience is upper middle class white women from the suburbs who vote straight blue, no matter who. And, judging from the comments on many of her pieces, a high number of 70+ hand wringers who miss the days of burning bras in the '60s. It's sad, actually.

What are some of the things you think she has gotten wrong? Asking sincerely.

NP. I agree with this poster that HCR is becoming insufferable. It’s not so much that her writing is “wrong,” as it’s just her opinion and point of view. But her TDS and horrible progressive bias is significantly affecting the quality of her work. Where is her outrage over the billions of dollars stolen in Minnesota, as one example?

That is a tear in a salted sea compared to the things Trump does that wastes American blood and treasure.

Can someone summarize her comments for those of us who are not on threads? I don’t see this post on her substack or insta.

She is right.

At max we have til 2026 voting but my guess is Trump will deploy military on Americans game over.

Yep the time to stop this was before he won.

Now it is too late god help the US because it is going to be beyond horrifying.

“Of course this woman is single. That's actually an important point.”

It’s so cute that today’s MAGA thinks that having a man is some kind of accomplishment.

A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.

It's not a question of accomplishment. But being single versus married certainly affects a person's perspective, priorities, and concerns/risks.

I couldn't care less about being married at all, but marriage and commitment absolutely changes people. If you don't think so, you're not being honest. And we see these differences in voting patterns and policy differences.

I’m married but women do not need to be to entitled to an opinion or respect. I don’t see that unmarried people don’t care about the future of the country. This new push toward marriage is because our culture has made being single unaffordable. The cost of housing etc. is unaffordable for single people. By the way, HCR frequently mentions her husband so stop with the crazy single woman drivel.
