Are the good times really over for good?

The 25th Anniversary of 9/11 marks some weird things.
On 9/10/2001, we had essentially been away from war in any meaningful way for a decade and had been separated for nearly 25 years from a long term, sustained war.
Our national debt was negligible compared to present day. Things we see today, like support for a woman who admits murdering her kids, a Muslim mayor of NYC, woke culture acceptance, etc., were unimaginable.
Now, we are on the backside of a 20 year war, have engaged in a new ME war, debt is out of control, Congress is totally useless, woke culture is embraced and socialism is spreading like a virus.
Is there any way to right the ship? Are the good times really over for good?

Probably.
The collective IQ of the US has dropped by 15-20 points over the past 30-40 years. The masses have been literally dumbed down through a leftist academia and leftist mass media.

I was looking at some of the photos of when OBL got got and you had millions of patriots who loved the US cheering and crying and just genuinely being happy and pro-America.
Now you have a dbag terrorist sympathizer running the very city where that happened.

We’ve imported the 3rd world and engrafted 3rd world virtues as well. The underpinnings of why America worked…Christian worldview…is declining in impact by the year. Even “Christian” churches don’t preach the Gospel anymore.

Yes. Been over
I've been somewhat engaged politically over the past 30 years but I'm getting very close to holing up on a few acres in south central MO and living in peace the last few years of my life. The American people are ultimately going to get what they deserve. You can't stop what's coming, Gods will be done.

You guys to get off the internet every now and then. This is country is still full of people who love America and are proud to be Americans.

The OP loves doom and gloom, he’s a miserable person because Trump is President.

Some of your premises Are overstated to say the least

Our good times are over. There will be good times again sometime down the road, but only after things get really, really bad. Like Great Depression + Second Civil War bad.
You know, the whole weak men make bad times, bad times make strong men circle.

Still not as low as the average IQ on this board I reckon... Left wing aligned people have been shown to have a higher average IQ than right wing aligned people.
IQ isnt the reason the good times are over

The media has always been left wing. But academia is very different with DEI introducing profs who are left wing, stupid and unwilling to allow free speech in the classroom.

Trump was supposed to clean everything up. He can’t. It’s over.

I see a lot of Democratic Socialist political ads in the KC market, many of these Democratic Socialist candidates are trying to pass themselves off as moderate Christian democrats.....who will vote for every whack a doodle leftist piece of legislation if they are elected to high office.

The most peaceful time of our lives was 1991-2001 and we didn't even know it.
We believed all the bs in the 90s about the internet bringing in a new era of peace and prosperity.
They were too optimistic. Pie in the sky bullshite.
Turns out the dystopian scifi people were right about the future.
We about to live in a mashup of Bladerunner, Terminator and Black Mirror.
There's been nothing to indicate that all this tech ain't gonna be used to dominate people, kill people faster and with more plausabile deniability.
See covid.

No. Trump is laying the groundwork for a strong future. It won’t be felt immediately but deregulation, bringing manufacturing home, workforce retraining, better tax policies will serve us well.
Near term discomfort will exist but the biggest threat are the communist using that talking point to derail a bright future. Americans are famously known to focus on instant gratification.

• Workforce skills and apprenticeships for manufacturing/trades: Workforce Pell Grants for short-term credentials (starting July 2026); major expansion of Registered Apprenticeships targeting skilled trades; ED-DOL alignment of education with industry needs; focus on pipelines for manufacturing, maritime, and high-demand industrial jobs.
• Energy dominance and nuclear expansion: Aggressive push for nuclear renaissance (advanced reactors reaching criticality, fuel-cycle and enrichment investments, plant restarts, supply-chain support); goals for large-scale long-term nuclear capacity growth; record oil/gas/coal production and exports; emergency reliability orders to keep firm power online.
• Grid, transmission, and energy infrastructure: DOE loans and guarantees for transmission rebuilds and grid modernization; DOT initiatives to use highway/rail corridors for power lines and utilities; permitting reforms (NEPA streamlining) to accelerate energy and industrial projects.
• Manufacturing-supportive deregulation and capital formation: Broad regulatory reductions (including 10-for-1 style rules and large claimed cost savings); tax measures such as permanent full expensing; banking and capital-rule relief; efforts to clear barriers for domestic investment, onshoring, and industrial projects.
• Targeted traditional and energy-related infrastructure: DOT funding for roads, bridges, rail safety, freight corridors, truck parking, and maritime workforce facilities that support industrial supply chains and energy logistics.

Nothing in all of human history says we can ever achieve endless good times. Quite the opposite.
There are going to be periods of shite we have to wade through, some are put on us, some we put on ourselves. That doesn’t mean there won’t be good times ahead.
