ON Heather Cox Richardson's YouTube (and FB) podcast of yesterday, she mentions there are a lot of AI generated and fake accounts attributed to her. Some apparently are "meh" but others are more serious. I personally have not seen them. She started her podcast by cautioning anything that does not come from one of her authorized accounts. I'm not surprised that this is happening to her, as she is a big voice and as she says, the Right is scared.
I had been ignoring this “prophet “ but not heard of the not-so-subtle attempts to discredit HCR. I will say that as an academic who teaches through critical race and gender lenses, and a woman, the automatic discrediting may be as much tied to the now popular distain for higher education as much as to HCR’s gender
A brilliant read--never heard of Ad Fontes but I nearly fell for the "Professor" a few moments back--but after listening to his predictions decided he was a crank with a whiteboard as you write. HCR, other other hand, is recording our perilous moment day by day and helping many of us keep the faith. As are you.
Nope - not going there! As you said this time and earlier, I believe, Heather Cox Richardson is the real deal. Her letter is the first thing I read every morning. Someone who "predicted" the dumpster? Well how hard was that? The Letter is far from partisan & I've learned (or maybe re-learned) more history and get brought up to date with the current mess, besides.
In my opinion (biased) everyone should be reading her Letters.
Thank you Xplisset. An excellent essay, annotated and complete. I too trust and admire Dr. Heather Cox Richardson implicitly and I feel the same about you. You both have intelligence combined with humility, qualities necessary for trust. It’s not a matter of right versus left political bias (based on economics) it’s a matter of what is good and correct ideals for humanity.
Thank you for your defense. As you may be aware, this is just a slightly updated version of COVERTURE. Which goes back centuries. In project 29/5 but not by name. Actually, there are resources for that but you truly have to search—I have a library of books on this topic. COVERTURE

Very cogently thought out and explained clearly and with nuance - thank you!
