Episode notes
Democracy Demands Impartial Reason
- The American Revolution was a test of citizenship demanding reason to compete with passion in public decisions.
- True democracy requires calling balls and strikes impartially, not only when one’s side prevails.
Unreason Won The Revolution
- The Revolution succeeded because unreasonable men refused compromise and were willing to fight to the end.
- Reasonable men asked for more within the Empire but ultimately were outflanked by those demanding full independence.
MAGA Mirrors Revolutionary Spirit
- The MAGA movement echoes the Revolutionary spirit: unyielding, unreasonable, and never quitting despite setbacks.
- Like the revolutionaries, they face defeats but remain committed to reclaiming the nation.
