【USA Archives】

For many of us,USA Archives it's becoming increasingly hard to remember the time before Donald Trump was elected -- that rosy, carefree time before we were on the verge of war with five different countries and our president knew that Frederick Douglass was dead.

Ah, the good old days.

Trump's presidency, just weeks old, has been so brutal and swift that it's been hard for the millions of Americans who oppose him to think of a time where his Twitter feed didn't consume all of our mental energy. Remember when you could turn to Facebook without a zillion different people asking you to call your Senator to oppose Betsy DeVos NOW NOW NOW?

Yeah, me neither.
