    People don’t consider the Business Plot enough. Many of the elites of US society today are these people’s children.

    Its unlikely they gave up their ideas completely, and the path the US followed till today suggests they didn’t.

    Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And weak men create hard times.

    I think Americans have to be poor again to learn to to have a shared struggle and rebuild communities in order to fight again. 80 years of being a superpower made a disproportionate portion of Americans extremely complacent. The two party system did not prevent outsiders being elected and end the gilded age before. The Americans who ended the gilded age and elected the Roosevelts would be rolling in their graves seeing their descendants extremely cucked.
