Recorded human history is about 6,000 years old. American history is about 250 years old.

Unfortunately, social media has kinda trained people that "history" was last week, or yesterday.

5,000 years ago, the Egyptians were feeling pretty good about their "history".

3,000 years ago, the Greeks were feeling pretty good about their "history".

2,600 years ago, the Roman's were feeling pretty good about their "history".

I am pretty sure the Germans were feeling pretty good about their "history" in 1931.

Hell, about 16 years ago, we were celebrating the demise of the Retrumplican Party.

I don't know much, but I am confident of a couple things.

1. We write our own history.

2. We will eventually write this MAGAt shit into the ash-heep of history.
