It will be a place in which to live a decent, moral life, society will technically have made you a criminal. The actual criminals will legally be the “law-abiding”.
In 2065...what was formerly the United States now exists as several polities- the Southern Union occupying much of the old Confederacy’s territory, but having its capital in Austin, because Texas is the predominate power in a regional republic whose economy is largely based on oil production. The old Northeast and much of the Midwest lies in the hands of the Northern Union, which still has its capital in Washington DC and still claims to be the actual United States, although that only means anything at the UN, where Red China and the Russian Empire (now under the rule of the Czars of the Putin dynasty) still recognizes that rump state. Most of California and Arizona succumbed to Mexican conquest during the Second Civil War of 2037. New Mexico, claimed both by Mexico and the Southern Union, is largely empty due to being a combat zone during the Mexican Incursion of 2044, and Santa Fe nothing but a radioactive ruin after the Southern Union deployed nukes. The rest of California, Oregon and Washington became an autonomous part of Canada in response to Russian aggression. The Russian Empire took Alaska into ‘protective custody’ during the 2nd Civil War, and Hawaii has maintained a precarious independence as the headquarters of the UN, due to the destruction of NYC during the war. Utah, Nevada,Colorado, Idaho, and Kansas are claimed by all sides, but in reality is a no-man’s land where skirmishes are fought periodically.
The 2nd Civil War ended in an armistice, with both sides employing poison gas and engaging in atrocities during the conflict that left most population centers in ruins. The Southern Union formed a constitutional republic of sovereign states, with a common currency and foreign policy, where marriage was specified as one man, and one woman, and citizens were required to own weapons to serve in their state militias, which remain active in repelling incursions from the Northern Union and putting down rebellions in what were formerly liberal enclaves, as well as turning back refugees from the Northern Union. Economically, the Southern Union practices capitalism and shows some signs of recovering, thanks to protectionist policies that allow for the growth of domestic industry, and to the exploitation of the oil of the Gulf of Mexico.
The Northern Union formed a parliamentary democracy and attempted to enact a full communist state, but only succeeded in creating a dictatorship by committee which has held power continuously since inception. The head of the Politburo of the Democratic Party is the actual head of government, regardless of who the prime minister is. The economy of the Northern Union resembles that of East Germany of the Cold War years- state controlled, technologically backward, unproductive, and agriculture largely in the hands of “cooperative ventures”, which are really collective farms. Christianity was abolished there, although pockets of Islam exist in some urban areas, which sometimes rise in revolt. Perversion and drug use are commonplace in the Northern Union, encouraged by the government as a way to prevent the ‘citizens’ from thinking too much about their predicament, which is a standard of living rapidly shrinking to that of North Korea.
Such is the world of 2065.
We are Russia, 1910.
So in 50 years we will be Russia 1960.
Actually Jesus will return within 50 years, and the world will be a different place.
America will be a thriving capitalist country with a an executive branch that is quite a bit weaker than today. The reason it is weaker is that after the realization finally dawned on the pols that the government is not capable of managing an economy as large as it had grown they slowly pulled away from trying to manage it. President Walker was instrumental in engineering this pullback and during this his administration the economy took off at hyper speed and Gross domestic product went through the roof.
America now controls the price of energy through market forces and the price for the btus is not just reasonable but reflects its inherent worth. This has been a real blessing to the world as more and more people have become middle class due to the reasonable cost of energy.
Society has become much more enjoyable as those who did not participate in the economy previously learned to take advantage of the opportunities.
The technology can be overwhelming but many people choose not to allow it to dominate their lives. Cable has disappeared and what can be best described as streaming is the norm. Most homes are just not that technology dependent due to taste rather than any barriers to using it. Kids still play ball and ride bikes just as they used to do.
The NSA still collects data on everyone and everything they do or say in public. No one cares anymore because the NSA is still trying to sort through the massive data tsunami of 2016. They are at January of that year and have been there for the last ten years.
Freedom of speech is alive and well with the political correctness of the teens dead and buried. It was found to be counter productive.
Oddly enough, gyrocopters have made a comeback and are quite popular. The are a bit different in that they are have a lot of computer controlled safety mechanisms which have made this type of transportation very safe and affordable. Sams Club carries 5 different models and Basspro has a large number of models painted in camouflage.
The global warming religion died after the great freeze of 2020 and the summers are now shorter than they used to be.
All states have shall issue ccw and most have constitutional open carry. The great surge of murders and crime posited by the anti-gun crowd never happened as the country became more and more polite.
The average American is a. Conservative and b. looking forward to the future.
And I still do not have my own flying car.....sniff.
There was nothing left but illegal aliens and muzzies..and they finally blew themselves and America up
Frightening thought.
About like Cuba with a collapsed Marxist economy and a doddering dictator
In fifty years, IF the Lord has not yet returned to sweep up the filth, I reckon the North American continent will be well on its way to being repopulated ... following the chaos and mayhem, disease and genocide. What races will be doing the repopulating is anyone’s guess, but I would guess Orientals and Hispanics. Islam will not even be a word spoken by men by that time, and bankers will be the lowest liferom on the planet because they planned and carried out the Agenda 21 dictates from which the planet will be recovering.
Yeah, I'm sticking with the traditional predictions...
Back around 2002 I had the pleasure of talking with an old lady in N.W. Kansas who was 94 years old. She lived thru the depression, the great dust bowl, told me about how her father drilled a well using a mule and auger, and every Friday they would ride into town on a horse and buggy to buy supplies.......
Then how they had the house she currently resided in towed into town, Logan KS., by mule train over logs set in front of house.......I regret that I didn't have more time to talk with her but we only stayed one night in her house prior to opening day of pheasant season then moved into the farm house of a friend the next day......
I'm in awe at what she has experienced in her lifetime and can only imagine what is in store for us in the next 50 years............
The current generation may not survive the next 50 years unless this country repents, decides to obey G_D’s laws, and supports Israel. Otherwise, things will gradually become worse until we no longer exist as the nation that was founded under our Judeo-Christian beliefs in 1773-1776.
My generation was around in 1962 when the Supreme Court ruled against Prayer in Schools. Since that decision, we have witnessed our nation slowly disintegrating. Some will argue it was the day they killed JFK. Either way, we are no longer the nation we were back then. Today we a reaping the harvest from that long ago decision when we turned away from G_D. And it is not good.
Learn from Israel, the apple of G_D’s eye, what happens to a nation that does not obey G_D. Each time they failed to obey G_D. he allowed their enemies to capture, take them away to foreign lands, and enslave them for 400 years until they were freed to return to their homeland. I guess they did not get his message each time. Finally he allowed Rome to destroy Israel for good in 70 AD. Rome destroyed the temple and killed or scattered the rest across the world to live in foreign lands as exiles. In 1948 Israel was reborn as a nation and G_D allowed them to return once again to their homeland. G_D has protected Israel and they have survived several wars and many attempts to destroy them by their Arab neighbor nations up to the current time.
We should be so blessed if we are allowed to survive. If we bless Israel, G_D has promised HE will blessed us. If we turn away from G_D and Israel, we are TOAST. It’s as simple as that.
Finished as a constitutional republic. Too many braindead drones.
In 50 years, the human race will be extinct, terminated by the Super Artificial Intelligence we created in 2035.
One fine day in 2021, the government regretfully announces that it can no longer afford entitlement programs.The.Checks.Just.Stop. The Citizenship Riots of the previous year were a factor in that decision, of course.
There is rioting and and upsurge in crime but the working stiffs of America, with their guns, hold the line and things settle back down after a few months. People decide it is better to work for small money and survive than to wave a protest sign with a grumbling belly. But the work ethic takes hold.
People start to remember that American government is best when it leaves you the hell alone and that virus spreads rapidly. The “old guard” tries to hold the big-government fort but the working stiffs will not be denied. The sight of certain Senators and Representatives hanging from streetlights brings back the custom to doing what the people tell them, dammit.
With realistic and Constitutional government restored, after the hotly-debated but ultimately successful Constitution Update of 2024, America again becomes a beacon of hope for the world.
I’ll be dead. My kids will be in concentration camps or killed. I trained them to be nails that stick up.
The Bolsheviks will be in power and a full fledged thugocracy will be established with ignorant peasants providing the strong arm.
I see no hope without revolution and rebuilding from the ashes by the victors. Our predecessors pissed away the Republic by screwing up a perfectly good Constitution. The genie can’t be put back in the bottle.
We have the sense to know we will be defeated without critical and haven’t the guts to take a chance as the fouders did trusting the outcome to God.
Through gubmint-mandated cloning and surgeries, all the women will look like Rosie O’Donnell and all the men will look like Pajama Boy.
Smoking ruin from Russian and Chinese nukes, presided over by loose bands of homicidal Moslam loonies bearing signs reading, “Thank you Barack Hussein.”
