So there are books about it. Unsure of how treason and inciting insurrection are acceptable. Listening to the hearings now. These are historical times. I wonder what the history books will say.
PurpleTulipGirl As a historian, I feel fairly confident that history books in the future will not be kind to this administration or those who enabled it. Just as the Civil War and Reconstruction, as well as WWII, serve as a dividing point, I think this will, too. Many, many books on this era will come forth from the social sciences in the next several years. 4y
Chrissyreadit @PurpleTulipGirl I agree. I think it is amazing how much information we are learning now about historical events in the past that demonstrate we had hindsight and do not learn from our past. I think we are going to learn so much in the next couple of years. 4y

Hooked_on_books @PurpleTulipGirl I‘m not a historian and therefore lack your insights, but I completely agree with you. And I think those who were vocally against him then flipped around to support him and his coup (um, Ted Cruz anyone?) will be treated especially harshly. 4y
AlaMich @PurpleTulipGirl I‘m not a historian either, but I think that history will be pretty clear that trump was an amoral, narcissistic con artist who managed to pull the wool over a distressingly large chunk of the population!! 4y

AmyG I am wondering what we will learn when Biden becomes President. What did certain people in government know and when did they know it...and were they involved? I hope Doris Kearns Goodwin writes a book about this as she is one of my favorite historians. 4y
