Aren't you describing the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Quote:I think MOST people when they are talking about reconstruction didn't go far enough are talking about protecting civil rights. I'm not saying there aren't people who say what you are saying, but its far from a majority. I prefer to usually go with what most people say and not to group people into the worst grouping. You often treat a group of people as a monolith and of course the monolith you choose is the worst one (a criticism I've noted before btw).
Most people are moderates with moderate opinions. Extremists are still the ones to watch out for, despite being a minority, because they are willing to fight to great lengths for their extreme beliefs. In the present day, "woke" policies are near universally unpopular, but will never be ditched by the Democratic machine because there are a bunch of extremely woke staffers who refuse to compromise on any of their positions. And you've poured most of your worries into the machinations of what Trump's team could do, rather than the median GOP position of reducing inflation.
