We recently made a small change to our coffee routine that has turned out more
helpful than I expected. During a recent shopping trip our big box store was out
of the big bags of Starbucks French Roast coffee beans, so we got some house
blend. Not surprisingly, the coffee tasted a bit less robust at first. But I it
was a surprise that I was able to adjust so quickly, as it tastes perfectly fine
to me now. So I'm viewing this as good news, because I was used to finding
coffee other than my own less satisfying too. But now that I've made my
adjustment, this will go a lot better for me. I'm sure I'll still prefer my own
over the coffee most places make, but I expect to like coffee on the go a lot
better now.

Add to that "Countries starting voting in authoritarian, fascist leaning (if not outright fascist) leaders who promise a return to glory".
Germans->Hilter >>> US->Trump. While it is true that we ousted Trump, we have not ousted the Nazi Light party of the Republicans.
Italians->Mussolini >>> Britain->Every goddamned pro-Brexit stooge possible. Highly ineffective while preaching isolationist rhetoric.

Prez, I do not disagree with you in that while history does not repeat itself, it sure as Hell rhymes. I look at the patterns in order to better arm myself against the almost universal outcomes of the cyclical nature of human behavior.
