Trump Threatens to Bypass GOP Congress to Unleash MAGA Plans

55. The best way to absorb the

catastrophic results of the Past Robber Barrons/Gilded Age

is to read: THE GRAPES OF WRATH by Steinbeck...............

I read it in eighth grade, and I read it again two months ago........It really impressed upon me how I thought about it in 1961 vs how I think about it in 2025.............after 64 years of living, learning, and observing......
It shows how the uber rich robber barron's actions forced every one into a day by day fight to even subsist..........

That book, and several others, were required reading in my social studies class that year. The others were: Animal Farm, 1984, The Jungle, and the Ugly American........
I have re-read all of those again, in the past six months, just to give me an entirely new perspective.
For starters, I think everyone should read/re-read Animal Farm. And reflect on the Trump/RepubliCon Indoctrination these past 25-45 past years.
Most interesting was that the teacher who required us to read those books, was a devout hard core Republican. AND, he almost got fired for having us read those books..........

And, quite literally, I feel we are on the doorsteps of repeating that segment of history all over again. As someone once said:
"Those who don't learn from history, are bound to repeat it..."
