Sometimes, it feels like a longer winded version of the saying: history repeats itself

Kind of, the good news here is that we have lots of historical record and political theory we can study to understand the moment we're living in now. We could save a lot of debates on how to move forward if we can get more people to read this stuff.

americans don't like to read unless oprah is telling them to.

Sadly very true. I've also notice how a lot of people just dismiss this stuff as being historical and no longer relevant without actually reading it.
