You’re correct, Ulrich - it feels reminiscent of 2008 and 1989 - but for many here, far more intense.
1989 was swift yet totally unexpected. In 2008, though there was the fear related to the financial meltdown, there wasn’t the terror of a malignant narcissistic authoritarian intent on destroying the American Constitution, along with the sense of utter futility after the June debate, followed by the astonishment of so many who were lukewarm or antagonistic toward Harris - stunned by her meteoric rise, and rarely if ever before seen Trump so completely baffled, not knowing what to say.
I just realized yesterday her mother was from Tamil Nadu, and I also saw an article saying Harris fully embraced her Hindu as well as Christian background.
“While the world keeps holiday they stand aside and while the world sings, 'Gather ye rose-buds while ye may’ they mourn. They see that for all the jollity on board, the ship is beginning to sink.” (Bonhoeffer, TCOD, p.88)
You do truly stand in the shoulders of a giant. I could listen to him all day, thanks for sharing it.
