Mr. Utter has written an excellent essay cataloging where we are today in the United States. None of this is new to us, but it is especially distressing to see it all laid out clearly in one article. As we all know, it is not a pretty picture and makes most of us extremely sad.

The author does not, however, address the cornerstone question "What comes next after the United States?" He simply concludes "Sadly, Dr. Franklin, it does not appear that we will be able to keep the republic you and your contemporaries bequeathed to us after all. Thanks for trying."

We have raised two or three extremely "tolerant" generations that accept anything. It's doubtful that that toothpaste is going back into the tube.

So Mr. Utter is surrendering. Not the spirit of FR at all.

Great empires fall, and are replaced by other great empires, or by Dark Ages of isolation, insecurity and relative poverty.

Basically true for eons. Change is part of the process whether
for the good or the bad. Just think thru this part of the world
as we know it and and the changes since 1492.

Unfortunately it is part of our fallen human nature to resort to name calling and shouting down those whose positions on morality cannot be defeated in polite conversation. We are called by Christ to be patient and kind. This was never an easy teaching.

We need to make sure we don’t have to find out.

Stand and fight.

They want The West to be diluted down to 100% mongrels who are violent and chaotic —that’s why it’s so important for the borders of Thinking Countries to stay open.

This chaos will act as a motivator for a small, well-educated, dispersed group of people to all move to their one bolt hole by birthright, which will then become much larger.

Then that enlarged elite country of riches and education will rule over all others, which toil and thrash around in their diverse chaos, unable to find anything in common with one another, united only in ignorance and political impotence.

The outside mongrel people of this frightening New Order will have the same function as pack animals, which exist only to serve these elite, collectivist overlords who control all public information.

After Trump comes a personal test for us all. After years of observing Republicans, I think most will submit to tyranny.

What comes next after the United States?

“...then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.”

I think it is impossible to keep the country intact except by surrendering completely to the madness of extreme leftism. But, if the surrender is complete, destruction is sure to follow. An army of whiny transgenders is not going to prove much of a defense.

The best hope is a split-up of the current territory, with a homeland for decent people safeguarded by a wall and a strong army.

Our constitutional republic is self-renewing as long as we stay under law. There is a bright future ahead if we can just avoid war.

“The Left never gives in, never tires, never wavers, always presses on.”

This article is superficial blah blah BS. This statement is only true if the “Left” is changed to federal bureaucracies. We are being dominated via hyper regulation and surveillance by the technocratic state. All we say is being monitored and if someone puts down something hyperbolic to blow off steam (I’m being nice), that can be used as corroborating evidence against them. The federal register is so voluminous that no one individual can possibly know what’s in it even in their field, and the rules are created by bureaucrats.

We need to get back to the idea of real federalism, ie states rights if not then break up the nation. No more federal police state and big fat regulatory agencies consuming hundreds of billions. States should do most if not all of the policing and most business regulation. If a state wants abortion, let them. We can have prohibition, death sentences for drug dealers in one state and decrimilization of drugs in another. I doubt we will have wild extremes, but we will have more approaches. Citizens will gravitate to what suits them.

Sure we would have wacky states, but the differences between well run and poorly run states would be do great that people would vote with their feet at a rate of double or triple than they do right now.
