Pessimism: Meet Optimism

October 14, 2021October 14, 2021

This is a Paul Revere moment.

Will Americans who love democracy have the bandwidth to listen to more than a four word message shouted from a horse?

Here is the long form, currently sold out on Amazon but the e-book is cheaper and more Earth-friendly anyway:

Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could.

We beat the British — but it wasn’t easy.  We beat the fascists — but it wasn’t easy.  We won the Cold War — but it wasn’t easy.  We can hold onto our democracy — but it won’t be easy.

One optimistic note?

Democracy is something conservatives, socialists, libertarians, and progressives all want.

And here’s another:

Pessimism about the Jan. 6 committee is unwarranted.



Democracies collapse.

Putin, very possibly the richest man in the world, is laughing all the way to the bank.

Read Midnight in Washington.
