Is this the beginning of the end?

I'm not a tin foil hat person. I like to think of myself as a pretty logical person.
I wonder if 50 years from now, when America is no longer "America" as we know it, can we look back at this time period we're in now as the beginning of the end.
I think the progressives/liberals/leftists (whatever you want to be called) in power in this country right now, such as Bernie, AOC, Schiff, etc.. i could go on and on, have begun our ultimate down spiral. Because it feels like it has started.
I'm not sure there's a way to stop it. Liberal politicians, activists, and media have the loudest voices. You can see, especially in the last 3 years, how much they have social engineered their messages and their ploys of getting out their "attacks" against conservatives. They begin teaching liberal/progressive ideas to our kids in middle school.
My son told me in social science class that they watch CNN and then write about what they watch. Well, CNN is about 98% negative towards Trump, so that begins their road down teaching kids anti-Trump rhetoric. You don't think they know what they're doing in schools? You think they every show a conservative channel like Fox News (oh, that's the only conservative channel in our country by the way). I talked to my son about politics and what the school is trying to do. He'll stay a fine young conservative, thank you very much.
They are creating and changing public opinion. You will read in a second that I think Americans are pretty stupid.
They print lies in headlines and then quietly tweet corrections that nobody sees or just delete the articles altogether with no corrections. That's not a mistake, folks. They know exactly what they're doing.
Americans are pretty stupid. Well, most people walking around on this Earth are pretty stupid. Doesn't take much of a wind to blow them in a specific direction controlled by media, soundbites, and lying headlines.
You think Schiff didn't know what he was doing when he made up that transcript of Trump's phone call while sitting in the congressional chamber? One of the worst things I've ever seen a politician do. That was pure shite, and I can't believe it was allowed to slide. He should've been excused from the hearing for a stunt like that. Period. It bewilders me.
This sort of thing is happening more and more. Seems it's all the democratic party and media is now.
Not sure there is any turning back, and they won't be stopping. It'll be sped up and then we will hit that topple point.
watch this youtube video of media repeating their crap and tell me this is not a huge organized effort to influence people. This is one of many, many examples.

Depends on how much 5.56 is in private hands.

Don't know.
But I'm not going down without a fight.

Another example.
Get ready to pay astronomical taxes on ammo. That's another thing coming down the pipe. Already started.

The beginning of the end was earlier than now but things seem to be accelerating.
Judge Borks book “Slouching Toward Gommora” pointed toward a lot of this.
Yes I spelled it wrong, no I don’t care.

You know, it is not a Christian thing to say, but I am afraid there is some fact to it. Advances in medicine, technology, military, & diplomacy have curtailed natural selection. Therefore organisms that would have been weeded out in the past now thrive and reproduce. I.E. "Idiocracy".....
I sometimes wonder if our country isn't ripe for invasion with all the drones sitting on their couch getting offended by every little thing.
Nobody bothers to do their due diligence on anything, it is a jump from talking point to talking point. With the "media" outlets constantly screaming how bad "conservatism" and "nationalism" is...

So true, everything is magnified because we have a president that doesn't move his arms & legs when they pull the strings.
The real reason why it happens, and will continue to happen right underneath the American peoples noses is because most believe, and are preoccupied with each other over fake "WWE" Blue & Red parties.
If the American people could identify the correct enemies they would unify and fight for their democracy, but as was properly stated by the OP, we are in warp speed in the other direction. 24 hour news station keeps the older generation pre occupied with garbage, and the cell phone has the young generation in look down for good.

More like the middle IMO. We crossed a Rubicon with Epstein.

50 years ago, we had just begun a lot of the "great society" government programs, we had people in their 20s on all sorts of drugs and sex and hippy music, we had the new civil rights act, and lots of people thought society was going to come to an end.
1964 elections brought us 68 Dems in the Senate and 295 in the house. Huge majorities.
We survived that. We will survive this.

Another good example. Hopefully that story isn't finished.

America is our constitution, our freedoms. Who is trying to frick with our constitution?

Mass deportation will never happen. Other cultures will erase American culture.
I know that American culture is fast food, dumb tv shows, pissing in streets, meth, diabetes, Ford Mustangs, gay country singers, trailer parks, and county fairs.
But dammit, it's America!

The move toward the left will ebb and flow over time. But I can testify that since the 1950s America is waaay more socialist today than it was when I was a kid.
Politicians don't get elected for repealing laws. They answer the call "There oughtta be a law!" They never assess how laws/regulations gradually chip away at the freedom of individuals.
