We asked for it by saying that history was over in 1989 [with the end of the Cold War]. By saying that nothing bad could [ever] happen again, we were basically inviting something bad to happen. Our story about how nothing could [ever] go wrong was a story about how human nature is the free market and the free market brings democracy, so everything is hunky-dory — and of course every part of that story is nonsense. The Greeks understood that democracy is likely to produce oligarchy because if you don’t have some mechanism to get inequality under control then people with the most money will likely take full control.

Obama was much more likely to do that, and it didn't come close to happening.

I've been reading this board for some time now, and I gotta tell ya folks.. this board hasn't been winning. But I'm going to change all of that, people. We're going to make this board great again.
We really do have the best looking women, don't we folks?

Will the historian, or any other shill out there, fess when no such thing has occurred at the end of 4/8 years? Nah, I imagine not.

How can you realistically discuss something so absurd? Is Trump going to magically dissolve the Supreme Court and Congress and appoint himself King? There's nothing to discuss.

And how exactly is he going to do that?

historians should stick to the past, not the future

Thanks for trying to salvage this abortion of a thread. OP is shitty and should feel bad.

"Pretty much inevitable"? Wtf does that mean? It's inevitable or it isn't.
