Thank you Heather for this clear summation of tonight's debates. I watched alittle of both, but settled on the Biden Town Hall. It was reassuring to hear Biden put forth a plan in lieu of watching Trump throw blame and make his free airtime about him and not this Country. It was rather delightful to see Savannah Guthrie pin Trump to the wall, something other interviewers tend not to do.
However I do want to thank you explicitly for today's History Chat. I was unable to watch it in its entirety today due to a meeting . I did re-watch it this evening. It was superb, as always. Your conclusion positively broke my heart. I watched it with tears streaming as you opened up how difficult this current situation is for a Historian to maneuver through. Finer point being, a Historian of your caliber who truly cares about what is on the table for fellow Americans. Please know, your assessment, or more so, your compassion was taken to heart and forever appreciated. Thank you Heather.
Tyrannical regimes get control of the media, and the first threat they go after is the intelligencia. That will be all of us, even if we don’t have 600,000 followers. Yes, it’s scary and sobering.
And however big a challenge we are finding it to be to get out the vote, prevention now of tyrannical control is easier than underground resistance and international warfare would be after a tyrannical regime has become established.
Absolutely. I felt the same way. Your honest assessment of what the real potential of the election results could do to our democracy, our country, and us really shook me. I am so afraid of ‘him’ and the world who sees him as legit and a good thing.

From Thursday's chat: "...If it does happen [Trump wins] , I don't expect yoi will be hearing from people like me any longer."

When I heard that, MaryPat, it really shook me up.
That started the waterworks for me....
Me too. 😭
