HRC has made herself very rich plying the fears and paranoia of the older liberal left boomer generation. I give her kudos for that.

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.

When Heather Cox Richardson is wrong, will you admit maybe she doesn't know what she thinks she knows about things that are way out of her lane?

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

Narrator: but it wasn’t a very important point. In fact, it wasn’t a point at all.

“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.

I really like HCR but Tad Stoermer is a historian and scholar of US resistance history -- he has a book coming out this summer, I think.

He thinks we're already in one and that Congress has been effectively dead for months. He is very clear-eyed about the founders knowing Trump would one-day come along and despises Dems worshipping the Constitution. He's definitely pushed my thinking, which has, in fact, calmed me down.

If she is such a terrific historian, why doesn't she draw the parallels between Maduro's arrest and that of Noriega? Very similar circumstances, charges, and strategies.

Instead of opining and making dramatic predictions, perhaps she can look back in history - you know, like a historian does.

And would they have a different take on this situation?

Snyder moved to Canada. He left.

Well the expert on authoritarianism left the country already.

Posts like thie explain why young Gen Z women are moving to the left more than Gen Z men are moving to the right. But sure, keep driving young women to the left.

Why are you ranting about some woman in your office? Weird take.

Sure, we will let you know when she is wrong. Thanks.

Completely agree.

She's a marvelous writer and story-teller, an exceptional historian. But all of the attention has gone to her head. She is increasingly out of her lane on her writing, to the point that I've unsubscribed from her daily threads. And of course, she's very selective in the news events she chooses to cover each day. I'm waiting for her take on the Somalia scandal in MN, for example, and a fair critique of Tim Walz, whom she typically slobbers over.
