With the country split roughly 50/50 dem & gop, that actually means it’s split 75/25 liberal-statist & conservative-constitutionalist. Is there any wonder why our nation and society are headed over the proverbial cliff?

We’ve gone from the “greatest generation” -to- a nation of spoiled selfish brats within just two or three generations. Looking at today’s youth, where are the future leaders who will lead the country out of this mess with the founders ideals firmly in mind?

The future does not look good for us as a nation or society. It’s said that the best lessons are learned hardest. I believe we are in for a series of extremely hard lessons like we’ve never seen before.

“With the country split roughly 50/50 dem & gop...”

Only 50-60% of those who can vote in national elections usually do so, if I recall. Less for local and state. Of those who do vote in national elections around 45% generally vote one way and 45% the other, they know the reason they vote the way they do, even if it’s sometimes a stupid reason or wrong. The other 10% of those who do vote are the ones that can be swayed to change their vote by a debate flub, campaign commercial or last minute breaking scandal. So we have the most gullible, those who really have no set way of thinking, being the deciding factor in many elections.
