Can’t even express how it feels to see this in print, a vision turned to reality. Am humbled knowing we are our ancestors wildest dreams and we are giving them their due. https://t.co/h9WuFkYYkg

Kruse has written 2 books I value and have impacted my thinking about society & US politics.(as always I receive no bennies from my recomendations)
1-Fault Lines: A History of the United States Since 1974


2-White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism (Politics and Society in Modern America).


I've started reading the magazine, there is *alot* I didn't know.
