I fear you and your cousin's speculation that the future of the United States of America is bleak, is very likely, due to the Left's slowly taking over our media, our education system from the doctorate level down to the kindergarten level, many of the sciences, etc. They have instituted such division in our political ideology, destroying so much of our traditions, history, culture, and even religion, that these divisions and the hatred promulgated by the Left, are irreparable.

In addition another unsolvable part of our problem is what is loosely referred to as "the Deep State." The thousands and thousands of embedded bureaucrats who are unelected, faceless, nameless, and virtually unfireable, who literally regulate our lives daily not only from the cradle to the grave but from the erection to the Resurrection. They consistently vote for the continuation of protecting their "feathered nests," and the well being of the Country be damned.

Even if President Trump is reelected, it wiill be virtually impossible to"drain the swamp." The politicians and justice system will protect the bureaucrats and the bureaucrats will protect the politicians. Of course, it naturally follows that the millions of people who are "on the dole" will also vote for politicians who scream, "Vote for me. I'm your personal Santa Claus!"

The cultural differences are also, in my opinion, unsolvable and will continue to boil until the lid is popped off. I, as you, have no intention of leaving my country for "fairer pastures." I am here for the duration, although must say, I am much, much nearer the end than the beginning of my life. No matter, as studying history is my hobby, I want to see how it plays out. It will be interesting, that's for damned sure.

L.W.

I understand what you're saying about your age and things holding out a few more years but are we really red blooded American men to leave it at that if there's something in our power to make a difference. After all one time there was 56 brave men that pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor for the future. Don't we owe them?

I understand that point of view. But I'm suspect that the time for any positive outcome from such actions has long since past.

It makes me think of an essay written by Karen Kwiatkowski back in 2007.

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2007/09/karen-kwiatkowski/living-in-an-imperial-world/

excerpt:

There seems to be no effective way to save or restore the republic, no way for any individual to even begin to solve the problem of our late 20th and early 21st century imperialism. I tend to agree, and the wisest observers in these pages warn, as Chris Floyd does, "It is pointless — and counterproductive — to simply throw yourself under the wheels of such a monstrous machine in futile spasms of rage and despair. The machine doesn’t care. It will gladly chew up your life and move on.

If you live in a rural area you’re fine fir the most part. You live in an urban, high population density area.....I’d be looking at minimum for a get away place in a rural area.

Read the entire article. Also read the credentials of Karen Kwiatkowski. She was an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who was working at the Pentagon on 9-11. She had several jobs within the NSA.

She was an insider.

A: She knows more about what's been going on than you do.

B: You ain't going to do schitt about what's going on, so stop thumping your chest.

many of us have thought we were riding in a ship that's taking water for some time. it's a long ways to dry land from here.

but we can keep voting. we can do that. and working, and paying taxes.

what should we want more than all of that?

I am not going anywhere but batshit crazy on the commies either when a sufficient number of others are ready to start, or I see that it is time to go it alone. Either way, their choice is to go someplace and rethink their inclinations, or bear the brunt of my considerable and lifelong hatred for them and their ideas. This is my country, and I will not cede it to a bunch of sorry azz communists for any reason, ever.

There’s no place to go. This is the last stand. I did not come to this country to watch people just piss away what they have. There is no other place, unless you want to go to Mars with Elon. ....

things don't look good. even if trump stays in look how close the leftists have gotten, and will be, to gaining power and ruining the country, and world, with a leftist super-majority or one party agenda, and no end in sight. pretty dismal. couple years ago they were one vote short of practically eliminating the 2nd amendment. i mention the world because many are observing, mostly foreigners, that being unique in the world, if the US goes down, all is lost.

that's one take, but OTOH unexpected things happen all the time and they're not always disastrous or evil. WWII was looking pretty dismal, too, and see what happened. because i'm a person of faith, i tend to think even the worst won't last forever, and if the country needs a correction good people will make it happen a some point, God willing
