Similar to a post about Niall Ferguson, We are all Soviets Now
Something similar has happened to a calcified America under President Joe Biden. Like the late-stage Brezhnev, Biden is now a president in name only. He has outsourced his administration to a vestigial hard-left apparat from the Obama years.

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy reading VDH's columns, and this one did not disappoint. His understanding of history and ability to see and articulate how it rhymes with our current crazy times is second to none.
On a related note, Kamala is so unpopular that even her race and gender would not be enough to make her a serious presidential candidate, but you never know, because we don't live in the age of reason and common sense anymore.

Her 2020 campaign was so inept that she ended her campaign in December 2019.
When she was twelve, Harris and her sister moved with their mother to Montreal, Quebec, where Shyamala had accepted a research and teaching position at the McGill University-affiliated Jewish General Hospital.
Harris attended a French-speaking primary school, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, then F.A.C.E. School,and finally Westmount High School[c] in Westmount, Quebec, graduating in 1981.
Her mother Shyamala was Tamil Brahmin born in Madras.
No one speaks about her adolescence in Montreal.
She went to historically black Howard University. I've always wondered why she didn't go to Stanford or the Ivy League or similar. A black woman can't get into an elite college during a time of affirmative action? Her grades and test scores must be awful. I would love to see her transcipt along with Obama's transcript.
Kamala's sister Maya graduated from Cal Berkeley and Stanford Law.

At NATO Conference on Ukraine, United States President Joe Biden confused and introduced, somehow, the Ukrainian de facto President as the Russian leader:
"And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine... ladies and gentlemen, President Putin."

I'm really looking forward to the dismantling of the two-party system. We go back and forth between two extremes every four years (Socialism and Populism).
I wish we had more strong parties that had support. Sad to see America decline to parallels of the soviet union.
