Too much information. Watching Waltz now. It seems Kamala needs him to speak for her. That’s ok. That’s even better.

“The political issues we face today go back to the 1990’s and the end of the Cold War”

Not from what I observed first hand (I’m 84). Started with race riots and anti-vietnam war “demonstrations” of the 60’s. Problem was the Union government let them get away with it.

I was thinking about the same, but as I read the article I saw his point.

Uncontrolled election fraud with impunity.

The burden our generation must bear is the fact we remember what America was like before the leftists took us to hell.

It certainly gained speed in his time frame.

I think this guy’s memories are through rose-colored glasses.

I am not so old, but I have to remember back to Patrick Moynihan in the ‘70s to remember politicians trying to solve anything. Fixing government spending became the third rail. No one would touch it from then, on.

Anyone who doesn’t know that Bill Clinton was about getting Hillary into the White House isn’t worth taking seriously. 900 FBI files with the biggest ROI ever seen.

So, I think wrong enough to not be worth the read.

Free traitors, 1% elitists with no sense of brotherhood for their fellow americans, globohomos, globalists, north american union / nafta supporters, neoCONs who never found a war they didn’t like.... these are the TRAITORS that destroyed our country and our children’s futures... and those are just the Bush-Romney-Mccain-Paul RYNO style REPUBLICANS who sold us out. With “friends” like this, who needs enemies? Yet we still had outright COMMUNISTS on the left that allegedly represented “the other side”. So pick your poison - traitors on the right, or communists on the left. And then Trump came along and just wanted to Make America Great Again... and the Republican traitors and the Democrap communists went insane that anyone would dare put main street americans first.

Americans largely lost their fear of God.

Excellent article. I would only add that the rapid expanse of the internet quickly gave way to the surveillance/security state. With the spread of capabilities, it is just naturally assumed that anything that was technically possible to do, was also ethical and constitutional to do. That lead to cancelling, and levels of repression of dissent never seen before.

Throw that in the mix.
