Some of us remember America of fifty years ago. Vastly, vastly different than what we see now.
In your opinion, what will America be in another fifty years?
The Socialists take over, then the Islamists take over them.
That's why the Muslims and the Leftists agree on so many things, both sides want to win for themselves (just like the other Big Government organization in Germany in the 1940’s that were pals with Islam).
Then the Islamists will find those in their ranks to kill after everyone else is gone, because hatred burns deep within their hearts....Sort of like how the EPA did a good job of cleaning up industry by about 1972 and then had to look for more victims and fake “science” to justify their existence.
What do you mean, "not survivable"?
Paper money systems die all the time, it's rare for nations to die with them. I presume all the debt is going to be renounced (what else would you do with $18T in debt), and that we will start over.
The loss of all those Reichsmarks in 1945 didn't stop Germany from being on top again, I assume the destruction of all dollar-denominated investments will work out the same.
Muslims and socialists are like a criminal gang - they each have their own agendas and are playing against each other even while cooperating on short-term projects. But at some point, one will have to kill the other to finish their agenda.
The big difference between now and then is, that if someone wanted porn, they had to go out of their way to get it...Now with Cable TV and the Internet, it’s just as easy to obtain as anything else.
I’ve done more that anyone could hope for short of armed revolt, which is still possible. And my kid is pretty savvy; she’ll have to fend for herself. She’s in Texas now, which has a greater chance of survival.
Victor Davis Hanson has written extensively about what rural California has become. I imaging something like that, but even more so.
A third world muslim sewer!
America will be a thriving democracy. After the enlightenment period from 2016-2032, where Presidents Cruz and Walker put down the left wing revolution in 2018 and deported 20 million illegals, American companies that went overseas came home. Corporate taxes were eliminated and the 10% across the board income tax with a 5% cap on state taxes and 3% VAT were put into the constitution at the 2021 Constitutional Convention.
Municipal Unions were outlawed and a performance based compensation system was put in place. The fairness doctrine was implemented. Any news in the form of commentary or lies about people in the media was met with multimillion dollar fines. NBC folds and the NY Times is purchased by the Murdoch group.
The Chicago Cubs still haven’t won a world series and Malia Obama’s Senate bill to give the Cubs the ring based on their continued participation is met with laughter. Her husband, Jesse Jackson IV, calls the Senate racist. Rush Limbaugh and Paul Shankman do a 3 hour bit on it.
The world still hasnt burned up yet. The new meme is Global Warming is caused by Global Climate Stability. Realizing that the sun comes up, the sun goes down, it rains, snows and everything in between, Al Gore gives his annual Global Warming speech around the pool at the Fountainblue Hotel in July of 2029. It’s hot out. Gore says, “see, I told you.”. He’s thrown into the pool and 20 lounge chairs follow,
Solar power is now 1.25% of all energy resources. The new Tesla can go 350 miles on a single charge. Except in Winter. Oil is stabilized at 40 dollars a barrel. Clean coal is being mined at record levels after the EPA is shut down in 2021.
The biggest question asked in American schools in 2050 is, “what’s a liberal and when did the Night of the Ivory Tower Purge take place?”

When “all those Reichsmarks” get replaced by US dollars via the Marshall Plan, then it isn’t too hard to recover. Add to that all the aid from being on the front lines of the Cold War (thanks to the liberals, all spent in vain) and one can see where the so-called Wirtschaftwunder gets its legs from. I certainly do not want to see any presumption on anyone’s part that the USA ought to follow that path, and nobody is going to help the USA the way the USA helped everyone else.
The only way that’s going to happen is via God’s help. Putting trust in man (Jeremiah 17:5) is another curse upon the many curses we’re experiencing at present. Will the USA repent as a whole?
There’s nothing on the world scene right now checking Iran’s push towards nukes. Anyone who does not think that Iran will use nuclear weapons to attack anything and everything unlike themselves is not paying attention.
Sounds like the current world country leaders.
Excellent. Thanks. It’s nice to know there are people out there who are able to maintain their optimism.
I already have days where I feel like the guy in that movie.
