Shutting down the economy for COVID is going to be studied as one of the biggest disasters and mistakes in modern, economic history. How utterly stupid we are.
Historians, Economists, and economic historians are all liberals leftists. It will recorded as the greatest policy triumph in modern history and the impetus for the Great Reset.
Can't imagine how America's history will be rewritten. Evil, racist white men savagely stole the land from the peaceful POCs and built the nation on the backs of black slaves. But alas, whitey was finally exterminated and the glorious rebirth of the country began in peace and harmony with POCs living harmoniously together without the terror of whitey ever looming.
Nah. The admins that governed the 21st C will be remembered with contempt something like 5th C western Rome. All historians will see is the great power we were in 1999 being completely imploded not by foreign threats, but by policy set by Washington D.C. and the legacy media. (The role of academia will probably be more under the radar, less obvious --- history looks at things from a 10,000 foot level)
All the real history will see is that the "rulers" from 2000-to ?? 2030 demolished a thriving empire. Much like Western Rome from 395. Alternatively, if it leads to a right wing Caesarism rise, or autocracy, it will be seen a democracy ultimately failed, and again mostly due to the rulers of the 21st C squandering the inheritance from the 20th. In that case it will be seen as the last to run the old Republic, before Caesar. A Senate very much botching the job.

Leftist Democrats "have completely overplayed the Racism accusation. Honestly my first reaction when I hear it today is to assume bad intentions by the accuser, not the accused."
