Thank you so much for your brilliant insight with historical explanation. It is so helpful to receive information I can hold on to while this chaos under the trump regime plays out with the Court and voter push back continues.
I find your experience and wisdom, clarity and honesty, more and more important as the country’s careening toward martial law and full autocracy quickens. Thank you for all you’ve done, all you continue to do, and for being here.
It feels like we are in a post rational world where scholarship and informed debate are disdained. Yes, America has always had a strain of counter intellectualism but this feels new and more extreme, designed to confuse and enervate. What’s new is that people have given up on democracy. Didn’t someone influential (Peter Thiel perhaps) say that, “freedom and democracy are incompatible”!
I don’t know how to deal with that. If we can’t agree on democracy as a given that we can base disagreement upon, then I don’t have the tools to counter authoritarianism …
It’s a scary time, like being lost in space, disoriented. The only thing to cling to is day to day integrity ! Will THAT do the trick, carry the day ???
Thank you for expressing your critical foreign policy wisdom at this time when international relationships are being severed by the United States.

You should send a pre-release copy to Lil' Marco!

Ignore the confusing things that are said—they are meant to confuse you.
I haven’t given up on democracy, nor
have millions of other Americans.
I'm getting the book! Thank you for writing it! We need your voice as always but even more now!
Reported both as imposters.
