The policy scandals will be enough to occupy historians for the rest of the century. The fact that pedocon/pedo-elite theory is closer to an NBA ft% than a batting avg will occupy another different set of historians* *assuming anyone writes or reads histories.

Having taught at an R1 state school, I've seen that smarmy smirk during lectures about medical history, civil rights, Cold War FP, etc. These people are as vacuous as they are strident in their ignorance. It's all a game. One big joke.

I know it's a dodge from exposing their actual thoughts, but when bigots do this sort of circular argumentation, it's like they're Replicants. "A blood black nothingness began to spin. Began to spin. Let's move on to system. System. Feel that in your body. The system."

We have who we have in charge of Iran-scapades because we never made an example of those who did Iraq. We didn't because we never made an example of those in charge of Vietnam. Call me a Cold War historian, but I trace the failure of the 21st century to at least the mid 20th if not the 1870s.
