Around 20 years ago I pondered the question of what a collapsing society/civilization would look like. One conclusion I came to is "the economy will be the last pillar to collapse" as everyone tried to prop it up and keep the hedonistic party going while family, personal life and discipline, religion and communities all collapsed. I feel like I'm seeing this play out.

This:

“Biden vs. Trump appears to be a welcome diversion in a country whose government seems unequipped to face its biggest challenges and whose people are increasingly unwilling to take responsibility for their own problems.”

America is based on freedom and individual responsibility.

We need to return to personal responsibility, imo.

The article lists several "canaries" and then concludes - The government cannot fix most of these problems.

That is nonsense, perhaps a few but not "most".

The remedy is simply for local and federal officials to find the courage to enforce laws already on the books.

Or to state it differently, just do the opposite of what Soros, the Dems and Rino's are doing to our country with defunding the police and the ambitious placement and support of DA's and judges that aggressively ignore the laws.

You’re seeing it play out.

When the centralized empire collapses, whether it be Rome or Washington DC, the local community, family, religion becomes more important, as it becomes the last bastion of civilized behavior & norms.

The economy and the material abundance it provides tears apart families and makes religion seem irrelevant. This will continue until an economic reckoning happens, after enough economic pain, new family & economic relationships begin and a revival begins to occur.

“Rinse & Repeat.”

Most here don’t want to say it, but the election doesn’t really matter.
Things will just be less shitty for 4 years if Trump wins.
Demographics is destiny.
Tossing every single illegal is the only answer, and it won’t happen.
North Brazil is our future.

I suggest finding a rural, gun friendly, 95%+ white location to live.

Sorry, Peder...
This is EXACTLY the race that I want...
I want my country back, and the way to do that is to destroy everyone that is actively against the re-election of President Trump!!!!
