Problem is: if the other side had one, lots of people would feel exactly the way you do. But from the other side. So who is right?

  Of course. I advocate writing both perspectives, knowing that the bias of the victor would show up. But looking back, I think we’ve done a major disservice in the US by not including the dark parts of history in our stories: civil war -> states rights. Nazis -> no american ever supported that idea. Stuff like that. It makes the times we live through now feel like a surprise to many I think. They’re shocked people could actually support racists, bigots, worthless people. But here we are.

    > They’re shocked people could actually support racists, bigots, worthless people. Oh please. Just take a look at the shenanigans around HRC's nomination. Democrats have no claim to moral authority, if that's what you're suggesting.

      Nope. Not at all.
