America has had a wild ride in the first two decades of the 21st Century. The period began with Y2K hysteria, fears about the digital leap from 1999 to 2000. The change occurred with few disruptions and yet two years later a terrorist attack on America shook the world. America rebounded from that outside assault and yet the shock was greater 20 years later when the beacon of democracy was attacked by its own people. The culprits behind the attempted coup were hate speech and white supremacy as spread by the social media and led by the US president. Written in real-time, these articles reflect the American spirit as the country emerged from self–complacency to an uneasy suspicion that it had more in common with the global world than seemed apparent.
