Sam, thankyou for this deep dive back into American political history. Your comments...

"The point I want to make here is that, as the great political commentator Ecclesiastes put it, “there is nothing new under the sun.”...and ... as the great philosopher Yogi Berra—one of very few philosophers to also supply power from the left side of the plate—put it, “It’s déjà vu all over again?” Both seem to confirm that "history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes." So the Roosevelt "New Deal" arose as a result of these American politics of the 1920's? Or was it that at the time there were other factoids that influenced how the New Deal has dominated American political life since that time? Are we going to have a 1929 stock market crash- Government debt levels are the highest they have ever been? Are we to return to the world wide turmoil of the 1930's- there are some pretty strong authoritarians in this world at present - Putin and Ping? Or are Trump's policies for the next four years, going to move the political dial more permanently to the Right? Or will there be a "back lash akin to the Great New Deal? A conundrum indeed. But Sam your journalist fraternity just producing articles that are nothing but rants that just denigrate Trump, calling him all sorts of names, describing him as "evil," "a Nazi" an "authoritarian" and what have you, is not going to change the factoid that he is the democratically, elected POTUS for the next four years. Sam let's hope there are more article like this one that "listen not to answer, but to understand," as the Western Press need a paradigm shift in their attitude before there can be any semblance of trust in what journalists report, as was the case in the Walter Cronkite era.
