Biden’s misbegotten administration is the last of the Democrats’ trademarked “deals”: New Deal, Fair Deal, New Frontier, Great Society, and whatever other branded scam they’ve sold voters since.
The dilapidating state of our culture, institutions, and politics (the order is deliberate) have been decades in the making. Blame Boomers -- the culture definers among them -- for getting the ball rolling downhill in the highly romanticized lied about 1960s. They spawned the decadent counterculture, which set in motion every society-rotting development we’re grappling with today. Bill and Hillary Clinton are the aging avatars of counterculture radicals who turned into establishment exploiters.
Real Clear Politics’ average for “Direction of Country” polls is currently an eye-popping wrong track, 70.7%, while right direction stands at a paltry 22.4%. Other than D.C. lifers, welfare moochers, and people wanting their college debt loans erased, who are these 22%? And who, this side of lobotomies, is the smaller percentage of “not sure?”
America’s accelerating tumbling is the handiwork of a corrupt, ideologically driven, incompetent -- dare say, venal -- elite. Don’t doubt that most of the incompetence stems from an irreparably flawed leftist worldview and age-old, mind-twisting power- and money-lust.
A calamitous, destructive, painful descent is happening before our eyes. We’re witnesses to history -- but the imperative is to be actors against what we’re witnessing. Winning elections, though critical, won’t alone fix things. The culture needs to be retaken. Institutions need to be recaptured -- or routes around them created.
The attack on American Civilization is multi-fronted. Progressivism -- an Orwellian inversion if there ever was one – is reminiscent of the classic TV show, The Twilight Zone. In the show’s opening title, Rod Serling would say, in part, about the world of imagination that viewers were to enter:

Imagine if you woke up one day and you were in Pedo World.
Progressive Americans are Fourth Reich Nazi’s.
In every despotism that ever existed on this planet, there is still a spark that burns in the hearts of many, that one day the despotism will collapse, and for a few moments, at least, the air is refreshed and taking a deep breath becomes at last possible.
Another despotism may arise, of course, for that is the history of mankind. And quite possibly an innate trait of much of humanity, to DESIRE this tyranny and control, which makes a mockery of “democracy” within less than a generation once freedom has been won.
Some folks just cannot stand prosperity, and if there is not enough adversity in their lives, they got to invent some.
[America’s accelerating tumbling ...
A calamitous, destructive, painful descent is happening before our eyes.]
Absolutely shocking and scary.
The accelerated descent really took off with the anointing of the usurper.
Yet, much of America still can’t figure out what went wrong.
Fourth Reich
not a bad analogy
It wasn’t until years after that I actually listened to what Rod Serling said and realized this guy was real...not the normal fake TV schtick. The beginnings of Night Gallery, are, by far, the most bizarre thing you will ever see on TV IMO!
It puzzles me how people think that the boomers were the 60s leaders and creators of the counter culture and largely running America.
The boomers were little kids, some weren’t even born yet in 1960. The oldest boomer turned 14 in 1960, the boomers didn’t run anything, or even make up the music of the 60s, much less government and wars, politics, business, court decisions, run universities, teaching, TV, print media, or much of anything.
What teens and 5 year olds are running the world today?
That might have made more sense in the original Dutch.
When he was discharged in 1946, the boxing paratrooper (11th Airborne) Rod Serling had earned the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Philippine Liberation Medal.
Excellent points.
And those born in 1964 have sooo much in common with those born in 1946 (who could be their parents).
Is their a medal for being extra weird? He was the real deal!
Yes this is obama’s world. Biden is just the front guy designated to take the blame. Biden is not running anything which is why he gets so frustrated and is so out of touch.
