So? The Left owns the media. They own the schools. They have effectively used the freedoms granted by our unique founding documents to subvert the values underlying those freedoms. They are now generations who have been taught the virtues of socialism, lack of personal responsibility, and no moral standards. The tipping point is come and gone. The adults have been outgunned in the war of words, and there’s not a blessed thing we can do to persuade the entire country back to its founding values. The most anyone can hope for is fractionalization, an end to federalism, leaving individual states to set their own common ethical standards. Short of some ridiculous, extremely bloody revolution, the US is toast. And there is not a blessed thing we can do about it, so articles such as this are worse than useless- they just create frustration and despair. I’m tired of alarmist rhetoric with no solutions.

the virtues of socialism,

The best we can hope for in that regard is a slower descent into socialism. We are not Sweden which was (until recently) ethnically homogenous with a widespread work ethic. Instead we have large segments of population both white and black with a entitlement mentality. We can sustain the value of the dollar with geopolitical machinations but those are also used against the people. The next few years or decade might bring growth to help with the debt ratio, but in the long run we will inflate the currency and/or default on our debt. Full blown Venezualan style socialism will ensue but with far worse consequences for the productive class. In Venezuala they had the option of leaving. Here the productive will be slaughtered for the meat.
