What period of time? The nuclear age? Integration? Vietnam? The Reagan years were still a great time to be an American... fall of the USSR. Even the Clinton years weren’t that bad. My vote is Sept 11, 2001. Everything seemed to start on the wrong path after that. Lot of bad decisions made, seemingly out of emotion, but in hind sight, probably pre planned. The 2008 economic collapse put it into hyperdrive. 2016, was the best chance we had to turn it around. Looks like that chance is slipping away quickly now. Personally, I don’t see us lasting 4 years of a Biden administration. Foreign policy will return to servicing global interests with no concern for American sovereignty or exceptionalism. Reliance on foreign energy, surpassed in military strength by China and Russia, open borders and industry killing regulation and taxation.

the well meaning, and well intentioned catholics did this to us. they set us on this course.
kennedy supporting rome, and johnson fulfilling requirements.
it's been a slow, tortuous process, and meandering.
now we wake up, look around and wonder?
wonder what happened to us.
the soviet union collapsed.
china is in an ascendency.
work & pay taxes. that's new america.

I don't see Biden lasting 4 years of a Biden administration. Harris will be far worse.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

LBJ,s great society entitlement programs. And all the schitt derived from it since. AKA: vote for me and it's all free.
It's the biggest game the Liberal Socialist Democrats have.
Those who contribute the least have waaaaaaaay too much impact.
They dont even have to take a piss test... But yet the vast majority of people who work have too. And then pay taxes to support the leaches who have the right to vote also.
What a fugged up system that works totally in the favor of Liberal Socialist Democrat Politicians only.
The schit perpetuates and increase,s itself also with their rampant #,s Get high, drunk, Phfuck, and multiply is about all welfarites do....

LBJ’s “Great Society” programs
Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965
Opening trade with China (creating a monster)
9/11- Seemed to make it “ok” to limit lots of freedom’s in the name of safety
Those are the 4 biggies..

Whoever the authors of self help books are responsible. Writing, publishing and selling books that gave us such a fragile society of pussies raising pussies is when our culture of Jeep crawlers crashed and burned on the Rubicon.
Raising kids with too much power, no accountability, and only praise without realistic expectations. Doomed us all...
And here we are.

Anybody elsewhere seeing gas already starting to creep up?
Also,
Control your:
1. food 2. water 3. energy 4. healthcare 5. mobility 6. guns
Pick the order. You're still toast.

The explosion of the internet, social media and even smart phones created a whole new information highway that opened our eyes to what has always been and gave the propagandists more power to brainwash the brain washable.
Not much has changed, we just are able to gather more , outside the MSM.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

My best friends and I talk about this all the time. Our concensus of opinion? If you don't have a job and/or you don't own property, YOU DON'T VOTE. If you are a student, no problem. Hurry up and get educated so you can GET A JOB AND THEN YOU CAN VOTE. BTW- I'm expecting my next social security check next Wednesday. (That always pisses them off. The fact you've worked like a slave 50 years to be eligible doesn't count).

the survival of the human race. what a concept. in terms of the picture of stalin, roosevelt, and churchill, we'll need to upgrade and replace churchill for the president of china. we have to keep up with current events. a president of africa? nobody that i know.

I’d lean toward this just being a normal point in the endless cycle of humanity chasing its collective tail while repeatedly repeating our history.

Since the 1860s when Lincoln suspended the Constitution. It's been incrementally downhill since then. The closer you get to the drain the faster the water swirls. Hold on boys & girls.
