History in politics. A new trailing series of threads

 

Clio, the muse of history.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905

I thought of this as a new topic, and a new theme here, due to something J. D. Vance recently said.

If ever there was a time that average, and even educated, Americans showed a pathetic lack of grasp of history, science, religion and culture, at a massive level, this is it.  We hope to correct it a bit.
