@goatsarah Six years ago I was sat next to a US academic at the Oxford Union and asked if he shared my feeling back then that the country had the ingredients for another civil war. The man did his best to reassure me that there was no prospect of that, even after two years of 45. I often think of him and whether he ever thinks back to that conversation with the limey granny who was there to speak for a motion about drama’s impact on politics.
