America's Fractured Triumph: When History Refused to End
The early 1990s should have been America's victory lap. The Cold War had ended. The United States stood alone as the world's superpower. But beneath this apparent triumph lurked a profound unease. The promised "peace dividend" never materialized. Instead, the nation faced economic stagnation, cultural divisions, and a crisis of identity that would reshape politics for decades to come. This wasn't merely a political realignment but something deeper-a questioning of what America stood for and who belonged within it. From David Duke's shocking electoral success to Pat Buchanan's insurgent campaign, from Los Angeles riots to Ruby Ridge, the period revealed a nation grappling with fundamental questions about its future. Our present divisions weren't born yesterday-they emerged in this moment when the promised "end of history" instead delivered an era of uncertainty and rage.
