Our country is over folks. Nobody believes in our institutions anymore

It's over if we give up. Look to Trump as your paradigm of hope. shite doesn't stick to him. He keeps marching on and over the mother frickers. Keep marching on.

I think we will just continue to unravel...

I think you need some perspective. There are some serious issues, yes, but they pale in comparison to the rest of the world. The vast majority of elections we just had occurred without any major problems. Public services work pretty well for the most part. The violent crime index, last I checked, has declined to a rate equivalent to what it was in 1970, before the drug war, and when the country had 120 million less people.

Human societies will always be contentious. They've never operated any other way. That things work so well in millions of instances every day is ignored for some reason.

We imported much of this shite. 'Pubs wanted cheap labor and Dems wanted power through votes. Well they both got what they wanted. And yeah the average shelf life of a free and representative society has already been exceeded. We'll likely deteriorate into some sort of one dominant party rule with an elite class and some on going chaos and then ultimately fragment and break off into about 4 separate countries. A Spanish speaking Puerto Rican/Carribean area. Another Spanish speaking South American/Mexican one. A black one and a white one. Problem is all the others will want to migrate to the white area since they can't live the way they want too in the sh*t holes they created. And the dumass white folks will let them til there is no more. Sad stuff. But the Chinese will take over and restore order and put everyone to work doing manual labor and eliminating much of the non productive pop.

Maybe you guys should turn off politics for a little bit.

This may veer a little from the main theme of the thread (I haven’t read through it), but there will eventually be an attempt to take land from white landowners in this country. I’m 53 and don’t think it will happen in my lifetime, although the drums will probably be beating in my lifetime if the Lord graces me with average longevity. I really fear for my children and grandchildren.

You can thank the worthless hippie, yippie, free love, beatnik generation as we are reaping what they sowed. Unfortunately they are in control of power positions. Good news is they will die off sooner rather than later. Bad news is their legacy of carnage

And to think just two weeks ago everything was great, we were making America great again, and some of us were even getting tired of the winning!

Actually about 50% still due just based on those that voted republican or democrat.

Take a deep breath.

Countries are only as strong as the people that live there. If we want free resilient people we need to insert more freedom on the people. If we want coddled babies that expect the gment to take care of them then we need to keep doing what we're doing
