I am disappointed that 2024 could not be a generational shift election where my generation laid down our battle axes and passed them to the Gen-Xers and Millennials.

I just finished reading a book review in the New Yorker of a book entitled, Takeover: Hitler's Final Rise to Power by Timothy Ryback. The book review was written by Adam Kopnik and the title of the review is "The Enablers" subtitled, "Hitler didn't grab power, he was given it". I highly recommend it. The review was chilling.
