Are you paying attention?

America is already in its collapse. How long before it’s is complete is debatable. But make no mistake, the collapse is underway.

Eh. We have a "president" who is openly threatening Russia and warning of WW3. He also has dementia.

We are at a crossroads right now. Either the good guys win or they do. But both sides are laying down all the cards and soon. If it goes to a more authoritarian leftist goon squad it will happen soon.

But it isn't gonna because we have already won.

My nieces and nephews in HS and college age are FED UP with the bullshite from the left and the swamp.

They are going to remain pissed off for the next 4 or 5 decades at the liberals for destroying their future that most will never vote left ever again (if they ever did).


To what end though? It's good to hear, but are they turning off the TV, instagram, FB, tik Tok, etc.?

How are they turning on the media and social media forces and other cultural influences that so greatly impact the lives and attitudes of young people. Until and unless they begin to wage war on those entities, this will all be fleeting.

And even then, you just can't have 400 million people, 100m of them on the take, 100m of them directionless and purposeless, 100m of them completely and diametrically opposed to the American idea, and maintain a functioning state.

it seems like every time you turn around the congress is passing trillion dollar spending bills. it is almost like someone who knows he is going to file bankruptcy and is maxing out the credit cards. like that old saying, how long did it take you to go bankrupt? slowly at first then fast.

You mean "we" as in conservatives/Americans or "we" as in Christians?

I definitely agree with the latter

Pretty shaky on the former

We need our kids to be sick of all the bullshite and identity politics and when they get older start kicking the shite out of everyone and making people fall back in line.

If we can make it that long without collapsing and the kids aren’t brainwashed by these people then we’ve got a shot.

Otherwise we will all be retired to work camps, our assets seized or just turned off and it’ll be full on crazy town

If that was guaranteed, I would take it. But, at the current rate, I just don't see it taking that long. Hell, it might be measured in months; not years.

Yes, a lot of them have. I've met hundreds of their friends and yes, many of them are rejecting social media because they see the evil that it does.

A lot of them, especially the men, have stopped going to college and are becoming craftsmen / tradesmen again like the old days. A very bright spot in my opinion as the indoctrination machine is slowing significantly. Same thing with parents keeping watch of school board agendas.

Agree and this is why they are pissed off. They get it. And they want changes.

Perhaps we need a new political party. Haven't had a new one that was significant in a long time.

Keep the faith. Our Republic has overcome larger hurdles than this.

Both. When this is over we are going to see a revitalized country and America still has a long, glorious road ahead of her.

More acute, yes. I don't think we've overcome anything as broad and deep rooted. In the civil war, we still had sides that came to blow who shared very fundamental ideas an understandings of the truth. I don't think that exists now.

But, I do hope you're right. I just don't think we can make the compromises necessary to govern 350m+ people without losing the entire ballgame in the process.

Americans are being replaced by low IQ Illegal Immigrants who will all eventually be granted amnesty and they will work every single blue collar job for half of what natural born Americans will. There will be massive job losses for natural born Americans. Factor in technology and innovation (robots, drones, etc) and you can see where this is going.

It’s on a nonreturnable flight to oblivion. My thinking is 20 years tops before civil war is started at some level.

Under 5 at the current pace imo.. I may eat crow but I would rather be prepared for the collapse than consumed by it

I figured the end of cheap energy was going to destroy suburbia in the next couple of decades. It looks like a worthless dollar may get us first.

This board has become so dramatic and whiny.

74 million Americans voted for Donald Trump less than 2 years ago, a very polarizing and imperfect representative of conservative thought.



And we lost the election....whether stolen or not, we lost control of the direction we were headed...things were looking up under Trump

so, I am not sure where the sunshine is being seen in your corner relative to our future, our children's future

Day to day, things are okay in my little world, but I see bad news ahead for all of us

a lot of things going on are irreversible

My personal guess is that we can measure the end of the USA in half-century increments from now on.

Where will the USA be in 50 years? IMHO, more Totalitarian, more Socialist, more Globalist, more LGBT, more worship of the US Govt. We will be divided into two classes: The Ruling Elite and the Peons.

Where will the USA be in 100 years? Even more of the bad. IMHO there may not even be a country named "USA" in 100 years from now - the Ruling Elite may have already decided to change the name in order to usher in a New Constitution of Globalist Unity.

IMHO, in 100 years, those sects of Christianity that have not changed their Official Doctrine to reflect the same values espoused by the Ruling Elite will face persecution and perhaps prohibition. It is not at all difficult to envision a New World in which a New Leftist State Religion becomes the only legal religion. After all, the Old Christian Religion is full of "hate speech", isn't it?

At this point in US History, can any informed and rational person say that it's crazy to envision a USA in which personal freedom, individual rights and free speech are condemned for being "Colonial Racist Appendages of a White Supremacist Past"?

Keep voting Democrat, America. You are almost there.
