“Don’t disagree with either of you, but, what do the powers that be gain by destroying America?”
That’s a good question. One thing about America was really important. It was a Christian nation. I mean really Christian. Studies showed that. It was also very prosperous. Those two things weren’t supposed to go together. They didn’t anywhere else in the world. As such it was the primary enemy of and roadblock to all other ideologies. The two big ones are Islam and Communism.
They’re tired of playing this game and want to play another. Ever watched a kid knock down a sandcastle? At base, it’s that banal.

Divvying up the spoils is what appears to be occurring to me, with enough plausible deniability to continue implementation without the populace getting aroused enough to stop it while that’s still possible.
