Just how fricked is the future of the country?

Maybe just a touch grass moment, but having a hard time seeing the next few decades going in a positive trajectory.
Thoughts?

As I've said many times, Trump was just an emergency brake on where the US has been headed since 2008.

We’re fricked

People have short memories. They get tired easily. Try again in 2 years with better people and no Trump. Start there.

I’ve always assumed the pendulum swings…but import enough people to vote and the numbers get dicey. I’m less sure

Look at Europe for a glimpse into our future. We are 15-20 years behind most of that continent.

Pretty screwed. It's clear that a sane electorate was too much to hope for.
The bad part is we're the sole remaining source of freedom in the world. If we lose it here, there's nowhere to go.

The younger generation turns into older, more wiser people who hate paying taxes.
It’s a cycle. This ain’t new to us Genexers.
You’ll live.

A free country takes vigilance to preserve. Our electorate has neither the education nor the willingness to exercise such vigilance.

I think positive in the extreme long run.
But between now and then it’s going to be rough.
There are going to be a lot of communists that need killing.

Every off POTUS election cycle the party out of power gains seats and control. It is just that now instead of democrats getting control it is socialists that want open borders, no prisons, child sex changes, and other far left looney tunes……
The Dems gave their power over to the socialists…..

Hopefully there continues to be a certain % of people who work and pay taxes…

The last decade has been terrible politically. Return to sanity.

This. The demographics have changed too much. The Christian heritage this country was founded upon has given way to millions of foreigners who worship other gods.
Not sure that can be fixed. Well not by man anyway.

Better people running for office equals better results.
Shitty candidates equals shitty results.

Sure, but honestly it's broader than that. But the theme is the same. We took a pretty elastic system (Protestant influenced liberalism by and mostly for people of European descent but open to some who availed themselves of it and honored it) and have now probably expanded beyond what the parameters of the country and realistically bear and still function well.
We're increasingly secular, increasingly with the luxury to have dumb luxury belief systems that wouldn't exist in periods where people had meaningful challenges (like every person everywhere being an American in waiting, basically). Add to that influxes from near (latin America, less problematic in the particular but more problematic in the aggregate) and far (the opposite), and you're just well outside the bounds of what the nation can feasibly sustain well.
FWIW I think it's more a frog boiling pot thing than a "civil war coming" thing - which I won't say is worse, but it also cuts off the realistic chance of any sort of major paradigm shift, IMO.
