The price of freedom is vigilance. For too long Americans have assumed that our politicians were operating on our behalf. Any time people raised the warning flag, they were labeled as racists or sexists. So time and time again, we got pushed in whatever was good for Wall Street, and not what was in the best interest of America.

Wealth acquisition was considered the ultimate good, but never was any consideration made for what was exchanged for that wealth.

America (and the West in general) has become a massive economic zone for the world's elite to use as a device to extract and launder.

Yet another example of the gullible nature of Republicans.

Once people realize that the system is designed to fleece Americans on both ends of the political spectrum, then you understand that nothing matters.

The constant back and forth is by design. Republicans abdicated their responsibility to "conserve" anything many years ago. It's all-spending, all the time. The uniparty is in control. Not democrats. Not republicans. It's the campaign/lobbyist game to manipulate the economy and prop up failing institutions just long enough to kick the can down the road again.

America is lost, and has been lost for a while now. Your vote doesn't matter.

People want to act like secularism doesn't have a price. The price is degeneracy. The West is reaping what it has sown.

Because women and feminized men vote more than traditionalist men. It's not something that I'm proud of, but I don't vote as often as I should. It's a sad truth. Part of it is I don't believe voting matters as much as it used to because of the aforementioned enfranchisement of everyone. We are outnumbered. I'd like to think that not supporting the status quo would be enough, but it's not. There has to be a movement within the country to drastically change who is in power at every level. And that's just not going to happen.

Growing up in the 80s and even 90s I don’t remember 1 neighbor getting a new roof.

You probably weren't paying attention. I know there's a lot of things I didn't notice or paid no mind to when I was growing up. It just didn't register as something worth considering.

I put a new roof on my house about 5 years ago. To a 12 y/o that would have happened when he was 7. It's not like he would care about that. By the time I put another roof on the house, that 12 y/o will be graduating college and moving on with his life. To him it "never happened."

I have a rational disdain for them all. We are all victims of their poison. Same goes for the spineless and feckless GOPe, who collectively contribute to the problem daily.

You make a good point. The uniparty system has only ensured the leftward drift in our country. The republican party does not do enough to push back against the left. They'll make good campaign promises and commercials, but when push comes to shove, they get along with the perverts and sickos so they can get more spending passed.

I'm tired of it. I know most people are too. It's a shame what our republic has become.

I agree. He's a difficult human to listen to.

He should take more ownership for the failures of progressives. He and his ilk were championing every bullshite identity political group out there. Dividing the country based on silly emotional rhetoric. I have no sympathy for the democrat party in this current era. They are victims of their own poison.

The 40s is a good decade. It's probably the last decade you'll feel physically and mentally as sharp as you did in your 20s.

50s and up is when you start to become aware of aging. At least that's how it was for me.

The good news is that you can still stay fit, but you'll get injured easier. You'll forget things mid-conversation. You'll most likely need reading glasses at some point and it will progressively get worse. If you do get injured, it will take longer to heal. Your skin will start showing noticeable signs of aging.

One day you'll look in the mirror as an old man and think, "I'm getting too old for this shite."

Part of the problem is their joints hurt and can't reach anything anymore. Plus, they easily lose balance, so they are more or less forced to do a substandard job of scrubbing.

Rather than some fancy soap, buy them an exfoliating brush. Wal-mart sells them with a loofah on one side and a scrub brush on the other.

I see what you're getting at and I don't necessarily disagree. I believe the issue is a cultural one. But keep in mind, many of our current cultural problems in the nation are the result of liberal policy. The leftward shift of the Overton Window has made it so communists are openly recruiting with zero shame. Yes, they have the right to speak freely about their political ideology.

It's the same way with the problems facing the Black community. They are in a cultural free-fall since the left has more or less made them slaves to government benefits and jobs.

This trend will work its way into every ethic group if communism is allowed to supplant capitalism. Much like secularism has eroded the Church, these leftist tendencies will destroy all sense of purpose and morality.

If you're waiting for the people pushing these ideologies to police themselves, you'll be waiting a very long time.
