Thank you, Larry, for your inspiring historical optimism, and thanks Travis for your sobering calculated realism. I hope Larry is right, and I hope we’re all prepared for either possibility.

Larry’s steady reassurance kept hope alive on election night 2016. Well, that and the NYT election meters, which worked so well that NYT had to get rid of them before the 2018 midterms.

Larry’s books keep our family informed and positive! What a great and blessed nation. May God preserve us.

Well, Travis is right to point out that right now we are the Union army of 1861, not Sherman’s veterans of 1864.

And the navy is the one that the Japanese mostly sank in 1941, not the one building that they couldn’t defeat.
