But I've read that history pretty deeply. Seen those documentaries.

You?

Nothing that is going on today feels anything like that time. We were being taught in school how to duck and cover when the bombs started hitting. The sense that war with Russia -- on American soil -- was imminent was palpable.

Reality is a court filing!
Tweets are like farts, they have a short half-life, albeit a really good one isn't easily forgotten.

I was a freshman in high school during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I followed it closely, and I had a father who was well informed. He did discuss it with us.

I was an older, voting Democrat and activist during Watergate. I followed that, too. And I read every book written, post-Watergate.

I did not fear that Nixon would start a nuclear war when he was cornered. Nixon was unhinged, but not a full-blown madman. Trump is crazy enough to start WWIII if he is cornered. It should be Watergate, but trump is unpredictable and capricious. Also, he is vicious.

I hope someone is doing something about the possibility of nuclear war, but I am not counting on it.

I've got a feeling the KGOP republicans will be sending out the goons (uniformed & otherwise) in their ongoing partnershit campaign with russia against America and Americans.
