"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

They need to move fast, if what he wants to happen, happens. He has been itching to use nukes since his first term. He already used that one "biggest bomb ever" during his first term. Hegseth fired all those generals because they wouldn't....

also I have an MA in history and the entire time I was in seminars people kept telling me to stop judging the people of the past, and I would be like "but they *were* slave owning sons of bitches" and they would say "but our role as academics isn't to pass judgment" so history doesn't judge

That not ALL US people are on the streets stopping US from killing shows the true characteristics of US people. And history will tell future generations about it so that they will judge.

I've never read a history book that judged. What I read are explanations of what happened. In this case, I'd bet the story will be how the United States, once the most powerful country in the history of history, was destroyed when the world united against a madman.

Who he has ALWAYS been, is a Frontal Temporal dementia patient with a lobe turning to mush, unable to sleep and confabulating all night long… Journalists managed to repackage dementia as “his brand of crazy,” and even call it “charisma,” and now he holds the nuclear keys with stage 6.5 of only 7.

A little off-topic but there's a great "Doctor Who" audio play where even Davros, the scientist who helped genocide his own people and created basically Space Nazis, has at least one revisionist historian rehabilitating him. I do worry Trump getting the same, although it lessens by the day.

And when enough Historians *have* judged them, a new batch of historians just rolls right in and challenges the established judgment, because clearly matters were much more complicated and the widely held image of those judged needs to be re-examined.

And then the collective of elected officials elected themselves to do nothing. A strategy to let a man fail at the cost of so much. All to uphold their sole strategy of being the lesser evil. I for one think there has to be someone, anyone, on the hill of this nation that thinks differently. 🙏
