Q must be realizing, if he didn’t already, exactly how it is that America slid off the smart road, to instead hang out with a popcorn bag. Geeez.

We've had it too easy for too long,. We are products of our own success. It's quite natural, really.

Part of the problem is that those who have no business "leading" are now leading. We have allowed our worthless and weak, our evil and selfish, to rise to the top. I give you the derpocrat party and a very large portion of "our" party.

No longer does merit guarantee success, nor is it respected and admired. "Fairness" is more valued than what is right and good.

And with this comes a laziness of thought. Men (and women) like the Q team do not think in the petty. They identify a goal and they work toward it and, I imagine, without petty sniping over irrelevancies. That is what builds nations and wins wars.

The mission is all. This is also how our enemy works. We must put aside our petty differences. Of course we all have different thoughts on different things. We are free people in the USA, and our brains are better than the derps'.

We should be aware of our own urge to argue and be sure not to let it tear us asunder.

This fight is far too important to lose soldiers over JFK Jr or "slides".

On the left, if you’re a leftist, you support leftist causes. You may be a BLM or a BLT or a transectional feminist with an interest in deconstructive criticism, but you support all the leftist causes and they in turn support your cause. It’s a way to make them appear to have more support for each identity group than there really is.

There are a number of theories regarding societal cycles which resonate with what your saying.

Strauss-Howe is a generational based cycle that has corresponding personalities as such:
First Turning: High - Institutions strong/individuals weak - Prophets as children
2nd Turning: Awakening - Institutions are attacked and autonomy promoted - Nomads as children
3rd Turning: Unraveling - Institutions weak/distrusted, individuals strong - Heroes as children
4th Turning: Crisis - destruction, rebuilding, return to community purpose - Artists as children

The Tytler Cycle is one the goes like this:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage

There are others which follow the same idea but use different words, etc.
