And even this time, during the Biden presidency so far, I don't think liberals can even say that their time has come again yet. What Classic Xer and their ilk threaten is just same o same o for more and more years.
Which is essentially not solve the problems of the time. No Covid cure. More prejudice. Trump supporting Putin's invasion. Let the planet rot.
Well, the last great crisis has essentially passed from living memory. The difference is we are trying to end crisis wars instead of having them periodically. Thus, we are trying to end the Ukraine crisis with sanctions rather than bullets, albeit with more than a little proxy war and perhaps insurgent war. Some live still in the Industrial Age, and expect the crisis to take a familiar form. Not so clear.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
