Well, since you put it that way.
MOO, while history doesn't repeat itself and while I think that America has been through worse crises than the ones we currently face, I'm increasingly concerned with the way many Americans are perceiving current events as the results of orchestrated conspiracies among those in power who willfully disregard the rule of law to the exclusion of other explanations. I think that if people on both sides of the aisle don't do more to challenge this perception, it may end up being the reality.
YMMV.
