It took liberals 77 days to go from "No Kings" to "leave that dictator alone"!

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

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.

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?

I’m neither white nor middle aged. Suggest some alternative “seers” . Go for it! You can do it! I’ll even check back in a bit.

Keep driving young women to vote left with how you talk. Blue wave of the future, young women statistically moving left far more then men move right. Keep it up!

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.

There's a gray-haired. late-40s, single (so middle aged, yes) woman at my place of employ, who comes into my office maybe once a month and wastes a good 30 minutes of my time, and it's highly common it is about whatever it is this person has recently had on her mind. And I just smile and nod.

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.


It is actually. She has plenty of free time to bother me.

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.


Did you actually listen to the youtube posted above? During more that half of it she was talking about history and parallels or implications.
But no, I'm guessing you didn't actually listen to anything. Rather just shit on someone because she's an older woman.

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.

Well, a veteran is being punished financially for reminding service members of their actual oath. So it looks like we are going toward authoritarian rule rather faster than would be expected.
