I am certainly waking up to a headache. The surprise win and Kamala's loss has taken the wind out of my sails. All in all , it's going to be time to dust oneself off and get back on that horse. I would like recommend Nick Bryant's book , The Forever War - America's Unending Conflict with Itself. Trumpism isn't an anomaly, it's a product an unsettled history. I would thoroughly recommend both The Forever War and When America Stopped Being Great, Bryant's original book. As a former BBC correspondent in Washington and New York , Bryant also has a Phd in American History . And to cut an adage from his prologue "All politics is history. All history is politics" .
John - Great suggestions -- America's forever war and conflict with itself should be required reading; who we are as a nation is the possibility of change. Here at New Rules, our mission to help readers navigate change and identify and clarify our stories of next as a culture and country are now more important than ever. When I wrote this piece yesterday morning, and shared the shockwaves felt after 2016, I knew there was a possibility for a repeat. Yet in this challenge, there is much opportunity for change and an enormous need for building bigger bridges to resist fear and create more clarity about who we are as a nation -- not to give up on democracy but to make it stronger.

Thanks for ending on an optimistic note, Marcia. We need it.
