Don't Give in to Apocalyptic Thinking

As we approach the US Thanksgiving holiday, I again remind people not to give into despair, to apocalyptic thinking, etc.  Things are in some ways far worse than people think in the US, but there's more room for hope than people believe.  Deliberately going through all that we have to be thankful for is a good way to avoid giving into apocalyptic thinking and stay hopeful.Also: Indiana under Republican rule and the controversies at World magazine.My article on Indiana under Republican rule: https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2021/11/indiana-under-republican-rule-pro-business-policy-disappoints-outside-the-sunbelt/
