Will the present era (2016-20??) in the USA be named by future Historians as MAGAt USA, much like Germany in the 30's is known as Nazi Germany? What do you think this era in Central North America will be called?

(3,289 posts)tragically misguided, corrupt policies will last a very long time. The damage to our reputation as to trust of the United States by its long time allies may take a very long time to regain. I am 82 and the sickening environmental damage to our country will certainly not be repaired in my lifetime perhaps during my childrens lives.
I do not think that historians will treat this administration kindly nor should they.

taking the long view, america is marching inexorably towards a pluralistic society where whites are a minority and no longer have wildly disproportionate control over government, business, and society.
nothing comes easily, nothing comes quickly, but it comes in time.
donnie and the magats are merely part of the backlash to that inevitability. they will go away and crawl back under their rocks eventually.
they are not an era themselves, they are a merely footnote in obama's era.
