For those of you over age 50-55....did you ever think you would see the fall of America?

The events we've witnessed the past 30 years and more specifically events like the Jan 6th Committee/investigation is the kinda shite we would see Soviet Union/China/North Korea/Iran, etc. using against political dissidents who tried to stand against the communist/authoritarian regimes.
Every person who's been targeted by the anti Trump forces has been a patriot who stood against the DC Elites and their Swamp System. From Jerome Corsi to Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Carter Page, Roger Stone, General Flynn, etc.....they all had something in common beyond being simply America First patriots.....they spoke out against China/CCP. Is it mere coincidence these people have been targeted by the Swamp System protection apparatus (DOJ/FBI)? I'm sure the CCP are delighted a kangaroo court in the US is trying to crush two of the most vocal anti CCP voices in the world...Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. I believe both of these men were sanctioned by the CCP, (I know Bannon is) and can not step foot in China.
I just find it really interesting the more the America First movement points out the corruption of our government and many of our major institutions by CCP influence and money the more they are being targeted....hmmm.

I lived through the Missiles of October, 1962. I honestly didn't think I would see 1963.

I lived within a 3-wood of Lambert Field in St.Louis, working at McDonnell Aircraft there. We were just outside the range from a Cuba launch, but were a prime target of USSR.
Not a good time to raise a couple of children. Much relief when it was resolved.
As for the OP = no, I never thought I'd live to see this day - that is right up until the early summer of '20. The only bright spot since '20 has been the LSU nat'l championship.

In 1860 I would think that many Americans thought that the country was coming to an end.

Being a high school/college kid in the 80’s, I would’ve never thought the country would have such low morale forty years later…
This country was so upbeat in that decade… and now it’s shite… We need another renewal of those times again..

Only started believing I could happen in my life time was during Obama. Still didn't see the destruction of our country happening so quickly.

Social media sure expedited the situation.

Dad told me in the late 60's the commies would take over in my lifetime but probably not in his.
He's 91

not even close - and you didn't even list Rap or "the View".
Pueblo and Vietnam were worrisome, but America would survive.
Nowadays, we have a situation where we have to define "America" to see whether 'survival' is even worthwhile.
As for me, I don't want to be here if this crap continues (because it will only get worse)

Still not sure if I'll see the fall of America but the decline of America is disgusting enough.

Drove me to country music
me toooo!!!! -

Never cared much for music at all when I was young and referred to what became 'country' as 'hillbilly.'
But came to accept country as my only musical interest.

I always thought queers were sick, demented people that needed Jesus in their lives but otherwise, just stay in the closet, stay away from kids and leave everyone the frick alone.
I never expected this would become acceptable and the norm:

In case you're wondering, here is why:
John MacArthur sermon
If you're wondering where the insanity comes from, take an hour and watch this. It will become very clear.

It compared the Kennedy Administration's handling of the Bay of Pigs vs the Cuban Missile Crisis and how differently and more maturely handled the missile crisis compared to ill planned and ill executed Bay of Pigs. Instead of all "yes" men in the Bay of Pigs, there assigned devil's advocates in the missile crisis that tried to find everything wrong with the planned actions as opposed to a bunch of lap dogs botching the Bay of Pigs.

My belief system I have told me this type of breakdown would happen. It's still very disturbing witnessing it first hand, and frustrating as well.

i never in my life thought there were so many people who not only celebrate, but actively cheer on the grooming of kids by pedophiles, or that teachers who hate america are allowed to teach in schools and teach kids that america is bad and racist and it needs to be destryed.
the left has taken the lesson from arabs brainwashing their kids in school to become martars for the cause and suicide bombers, and they applied it to our schools through teachers unions to preach endless propaganda and hate for america to turn american kids into domestic terrorists who will gladly vote for anyone or anything that wants to destroy america
