This clip is about 20 min, but well worth your time. Full disclosure, Steve Deace is my political spirit animal. The thread about the Ayn Rand quote reminded me of his analysis that America is indeed already beyond saving. There's nothing left for conservatives to "conserve." We should stop thinking like patriots and start thinking like Pilgrims again, because that is the situation in front of us:

I’ve been there for a decade at least. I’ve got as little or less in common with most of these people in these east coast cities as I do with someone in Germany. There is absolutely no reason that any opinions we may have about each other should impact our lives. But, of course, in this giant centralized state we have now, our opinions do matter to each other and one vision or the other will dominate the other. And if neither opinion is able to triumph, in the name of good governance, a solution will be imposed by the state that will satisfy no one.

Nations are composed of peoples united by culture, religion, and race. We are well on our way to becoming as Balkanized as the Austro-Hungarian Empire was. In the history of the world, no such state has survived for long.

He’s right. The republic we knew is already gone. Really our only option is to carve out our own portion separate from the communist shithole forming now and start all over again.

High Tech has changed civilizational dynamics to a degree never before in our known history. And the further advance in the near future will affect the dynamic even more.

Mother Nature/Darwinism ruled for thousand of years, demanding that all Lifeforms were 'fit' lest they succumb to their innate weakness. Now, Humanity - via Social Media platforms - deems such a standard to be essentially 'immoral'; with the Progressive argument being that life is unfair, in that some Groups are "priviledged" and are "winners of life's lotter". This Social Paradigm narrative can only be undermined and challenged via the Idea that it was/is the Judgment of God that put individuals into their relative status in this life, as opposed to any Universal randomness. I.e., that "the hairs on your head are numbered", and that all people "reap according to that which they sew". Of course, such (Just) Judgement implies that people lived in a previous life, were judged by their beliefs and actions therein, and came into this current life on the basis of said previous one. Such a narrative is THE ONLY basis for any refutation of the "life's lottery"/"privilege" version. Minus this argument, the Egalitarian Progressive indeed hold the high moral ground.

All this said, Jesus' demand that we mercifully serve the "least of our brethren" if we are to enjoy His own Mercy in our next 'judgment', throws a wrench into the mechanics of the whole Ideological machine. Therein, "war in Heaven (philosophical) and on Earth", as Humanity argues the case.

Bottom line: America is not going back, but forward; and the "inconvenient truth" is that we either meet the demand of synthesizing and harmonizing the two above Societal (Moral) Paradigms and employing said result as a basis for Human cooperation...or we fight it out and go the Fermi Paradox scenario. Of course, there is always the Parallel Universe ("many mansions") option, in that we all are judged into our next Life per our beliefs and actions in this one. With this whole drama just being a sort of buffet of Spiritual options or a 'test' of sorts. Currently, that is my belief. To each their own.

I'm glad that people are beginning to accept the reality of the situation.

However, for me, at least, I will continue to vote the right way and do the right thing. I won't try to "accelerate" anything to do with the USA.

IMHO, what's happening to the USA is the consequence of the natural progression of US history.

I don't agree.

What is happening to the USA and Europe can be traced to the coordinated global actions of a super-wealthy, anti-Christian, anti-European group of people. There is nothing at all natural about it.

Yeah, no. What it happening to the USA is marxist/socialist democrats attempting a soft revolution, using the power that idiot voters have given them, all the power that they can obtain by fraud, and the power of corporate America’s like minded leftists, with an assist from their wholly owned and operated propaganda media.

I would say bloodless revolution, but anyone with above room temperature IQ knows it it coming. Rivers of it.
