I’m 46. So probably 30 years give or take. I believe my generation (Anyone that is 40+ years old now) is the last hope for America.

As far as I'm concerned America is done as I type due to open borders.

20- years, tops.

The economy will crash, its inevitable. Still adding spending to budget, Democrats don't understand how an economy runs.

keep dreaming. nothing is going to happpen and the most you will do is post online.

there is no actual fight that's happening other than fantasies.
There's just a true disconnect from reality where people on both sides of the extreme think that's how everyone thinks and they don't realize how they are in the extreme minority.

For this to be accurate in the context of some sort of political/economic struggle, it would also have to be true that the people were being governed from (roughly) the middle. Do you believe the Biden admin and congressional Dems are governing from anywhere near the middle?

Why does that have to be true given the extreme minorities aren't exactly thinking rationally or with any logic?

It’s fun to listen to millennials who think they’re grown.

I’ll answer. Select special groups will do a few select special things, and the left will back TF down and acquiesce to a divorce. The authoritarian left is comprised of weak bullies, and everyone knows what happens when you punch a loud mouth bully in the nose.

Unless I misread your post, you were supporting the premise that any real political/economic struggle was fantasy (from the post you were responding to) by pointing out that the people raising the prospects of a struggle are "extreme minorities" and disconnected from reality. My point is that you'd need all the folks in the middle being governed from the middle, otherwise the prospects for a political/economic struggle are very different.

Any struggle? No. Struggle that would suggest a pending collapse of America is on the horizon. Not even close.

Check the OP, man. You moved the goalposts. Those who think we are a decade or 2 from AL out war and collapse of American, that's the extreme minority.

But your point is only valid if you misapply my point.
