“History is never exactly repetitive. There are no two times, seasons, locations, or peoples that are totally the same. There are, however, certain eternal principles which are constantly repeated by humans (for good or ill) that will usually (though not always) produce similar, or sometimes, exact consequences. If you overdose on drugs, don’t be surprised if you die. If a godless, communist thug comes to power in a country, chances are pretty good lots of people will get killed. These are principles that history has consistently verified. I see some historical similarities between the Presidential elections of 1980 and 2024, enough so that it appears there is a good chance that Donald Trump will win. Yet, as always with history, there are differences, and those might be sufficient to change the outcome.” (09/04/24)
