As Americans know from their own illustrious history, any nation’s well-being hinges on only a few factors. Its prosperity, freedom and overall stability depend on its constitutional and political stability. A secure currency and financial order are also essential, as is a strong military.

There is no comparison. You are ignorant.

“Karen” is an anti-White slur used by the Left.

“John” is an ubiquitous word generally used by most Americans and is not meant to disparage or denigrate.

Smarten up.

“Its prosperity, freedom and overall stability depend on its constitutional and political stability.”

A little overreach, Victor. Political change is usually perceived as a war between the two sides.

Our constitution and our founders recognize the inevitability of conflict.

The media is in the business of making mountains out of molehills and audiences love it.

To the contrary, Karens are busybodies who trend left. If you have a problem with that, you can register a complaint with my manager.

The decline will continue until we repent. To start, there are three things that have to stop:

1. Abortion
2. Sexual immorality
3. Pornography

It’s a du trollbot.

The great irony of all this is that the commie progs are still mainly inflicting wounds on themselves in their quest to destroy the nation.

Somehow it makes sense to them to destroy their own cities every time a cop offs one of the 37-time losers who are making their cities the crapholes that they are.

It’s all just a big dumpster fire and it is the dumpster they live in.

We are learning how much will soon be left of what our ancestors bequeathed. And the rest of the world is watching — some with glee, others with horror.

A small correction: ALL with glee.

You are either a liar or ignorant.

I believe you are ignorant.

You’re welcome.

Nope, Victor Davis Hanson was right the first time.

“Stop slandering every girl, woman named Karen. That crap belongs on DUmmies.”

You don’t know many Karens, I assume.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments...

It looks like a commie takeover... organized, thought out and being implemented... traitors still well hidden...

The 152-year-old nine-member Supreme Court, the 184-year-old Senate filibuster, and the 62-year-old idea of a 50-state union are all being targeted by the New Democratic Party.

Yes, nailed. It is happening... but it's not a mistake - it's intentional on their part. They know what we know - they know what Hanson knows.

If we're defending ourselves and our traditions it's because we're being attacked - - it's an insurrection. Yep, they used projection again - tipping us off to what's really happening. We need to pay attention.

I have a little hope in one regard. It is impossible to be in charge and revolt at the same time. Their nature is to always act as if they are not in power and criticize those who are.... in my 5 decades plus, they have NEVER had more power than they do right now so they are now responsible for the results.

In summary, it’s hard to be “Che” in a republic when your ideas suck and you get to implement them. Republics generally demand results and allocate power accordingly.

Interesting point... in many commie takeovers promises aren't exposed as delusional because commies aren't in charge until it's 'too late'... Nicaragua, Cuba,Venezuela... Thanks - worth thinking about... strangely hopeful.
