History as a guide

For most of the ordinary people, the so-called Silent Majority, these days it feels like the bottom falls out of the world. No-one can deny that it's a sudden and complete collapse of a long established order. There's near to a sense of abruptness and profound loss, suggesting the situation governing ordinary people has become unstable and is indeed rapidly deteriorating.

One hears what comes next could even be a sudden and severe political crisis or collapse, potentially involving widespread instability, loss of government legitimacy, or even societal breakdown. Looking back through history one should be encouraged rather than downhearted. Kenneth Clark once claimed that lack of hope and action defeats a nation or civilization much quicker than anything else.

Never then doubt that American judges will find workarounds to Donald Trump’s big Supreme Court win, et al.
