re: How will the United States end?

There’s multiple avenues of approach with this one.
We could be going like the Romans, they fought civil wars due to immigration. That led to Gaius Marius, Sulla, Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar. The reason those men became so powerful was because the Senate was too weak and too stupid to do anything, had their powers given to the Consul. Just like what we see now with our Congress, it’s a nutless wonder full of weak minded fools that just want another election win.
Look at our porous southern border. There’s a faction in this country that wants to close it off, rightly so in my opinion. And there’s a faction in this country that wants it wide open and not for altruistic reasons either. They want the votes because their policies are trash. One of these days the issue of immigration could very well send us spiraling out of control.
However, some say we will be defeated militarily. I ask, by whom? China? China has to get here first in order to defeat us. Or they have to stop us from getting to them for us to not defeat em. As it stands right now, China has a shitload of people. That’s it, their shitload of people are clustered in big population centers. Their military is still way behind ours in terms of advancement and tactics. They will still use human wave attacks while we will blow them off the map. China wants no part of a war with the United States.
Russia is also a ‘threat’ but their military is weaker than the Chinese, albeit the Russians undoubtedly have better leadership than the Chinese do. The Russians don’t have the economy to support a war. Hell, neither do the Chinese since so much of their money is linked to us.
Economically, it’s a dangerous game. The only thing that comforts me if our economy fails is...the rest of the world’s economies fail. And misery loves company. But I don’t know if we can allow our economy to fail. Although we seem to be pushing it closer and closer to the ledge in regards to student loans, SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, and the housing market. We’ll see another recession at least in our lifetimes I believe. And that’s when we’re incredibly vulnerable to outside entities.
Eta: the field is littered with mines of various sorts, and we’ve done an alright job (minus a few years) of avoiding them. We’ll see what the future has in store.

It ended in 1829 when Andrew Jackson was elected and has exponentially degraded since. Deciding to let anyone (non property owners) vote was a bad idea. Most people are ignorant cretins that are easily persuaded exclusive of facts. The Supreme Court nomination is a great example.

Oh wait.....
This isn't going to be very popular, but I don't think Obama was that bad of a president. Was he the best president ever?
No, not saying that either.
He is someone whose mother, who was born in Kansas, met Obama Sr at the University of Hawaii.
They married, had Barack, not long after the two divorced and his dad went back to Kenya. He met his dad once, but I don't think he wanted much to do with him. And he was raised by white grandparents in Hawaii.
All of this "He is a muslim! OMG we are doomed!" BS was nothing more than campaign tactics from the other side (which both sides do to each other).
It isn't like he went from community activist to the president. Wasn't he a state senator in Illinois.
I think he was elected sometime during the 90s. Then he became US Senator.. So he had political experience. He has a law degree from Harvard.
And the whole "Obamacare", it's far from perfect. But I know people who benefitted from it.
A friend of mine's mother had preexisting conditions, wasn't able to get health insurance from her employer.
She was on Obamacare, she ended up having early stages of cancer that wouldn't have been found and removed if it wasn't for Obamacare.
I think foreign relations was his strong suit, but people acts like the dude was the anti-christ.
A year before he took office the economy was headed down the wrong path and then it started to snowball.
By that October everyone was panicking. So if you compare where things were when he took office to where they were when he left, technically he left things in better shape than they were when he first took office.
While I am a registered Republican, I do not vote down party lines.
In Obama's second term election, that was the first time I voted outside my party for president.
This past election, it was the first time I didn't vote for president because I thought that the two options were a complete joke.
I couldn't bring myself to vote one or the other. I could have gone vote for a candidate from an alternative party, but I thought it was pointless.
There really isn't anything Obama did that made the country worse. There were lot of people who didn't support him simply because he was black (and there were people who voted for him just because he was black, which is just as bad).
There were people, union people, who would always get a pamphlet during election years, "recommending" who they vote for. Every single candidate they "suggested" was a democrat.
All of a sudden, Obama becomes a candidate and all of a sudden they are saying "I ain't voting for a __________".
Those same people, some who used to be loyal union workers, are die hard Trump fans. They support a fricking nationalist. In today's world, in the long run, a nationalist agenda is dangerous.
The one thing you can blame Obama on, is the fact that him being elected caused an uprise of people who were not really all that politically active.
If Obama was a Republican, there would be a few current red states, that would be blue.
And all of this is the absolute truth.

Pretty much this. The liberal progressives have won by taking control of all aspects of media, technology and our education system. Trump has been denounced early and often because they fear his anti-establishment pro-U.S. philosophy. What the establishment seeks is a new world order with them in control. And yes, these are smart people but that does not mean that they have your best interests at heart. Just ask the millions of minorities living in crime ridden inner cities that have been managed by Democrats for decades.

OweO makes some good points, especially about the racism. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone call Obama a monkey or a n——r, I’d have a nice little pot to piss in. Obama could have given every American a million dollars and people would still have a problem with him.

And I am sure there is not one person who will read this who can actually say "There hasn't been one time when I heard someone say something about his race".
The day after he was first elected, I remember going to work and at the time I was in a cubicle in which my row was the end of our department and the other side it was another department. This woman who would come in earlier than the rest of the people in her department, would come in and talk to her friends or whoever on the phone.
She was talking about the election and just how bad things were going to get and she said to that person that her husband told her than in two years, the government would take over everyone's land and divide it amount every family in the country.
She was dead serious and I couldn't believe she honestly thought that. But that was the type of crazy shite people were thinking. People really thought that the US elected a communist Muslim..
And there were people, who were never really that politically active, all of a sudden believed this shite and they felt like they had to take action.

He made us vastly weaker on pretty much every facet of this country.

What the frick does that have to do with his presidency?

Did he ever practice in law? No, he went straight into politics. He’s literally never done anything in his adult life other than politic. And he’s not even that good of one.

Hey that’s great, frick the whole country for a couple people!

Dude that was his weakest area by far, we were walked all over by every other country. That’s why all the countries hate us now, we have a president who isn’t a flaming vagina apologizing to every other country in the world like he did. He brought us down multiple pegs in regards to our standing in the world.

Yeah the stimulus packages and auto bailouts really helped us out. His economic policy was always more government, less private sector.
