Judson starts off a Monday Pandemic Style- by discussing an article by William S. Lind that reflects on William Gerhardie's book entitled "God's Fifth Column." The premise Gerhardie made, according to Lind, was that historically, whenever there has been an elite consensus on events going a certain way, events instead have gone off in a "wild and wholly unpredictable tangent." Gerhardie was writing about how no one at the time thought World War I was possible, yet it happened. What does...

The idea of two Americas is...
