about the time the Scopes Monkey Trial helped deflate the surge of far right extremism back then. Not that simple, of course; but like the truckers, I read that critical numbers "went home" and more or less left national politics. That "wave" passed.

I've been wondering if Russia's Ukraine invasion, making RW hero Putin's plan to subjugate dozens of nations become real, could help this era's wave pass. Of course, I've been waiting for 30 years for something to make that happen.
