America 'unrecognizable' and on the brink of collapse, experts warn: 'Turning on our own legacy'.
Fox News ^ | 2.7.2023 | Taylor Penley

Is America dying before our eyes? All societies eventually collapse – from the classical civilizations of Ancient Rome and Greece to the ever-alarming decline of modern America, could the past be hinting at what's in store? With skyrocketing inflation, political division, social unrest and a relentless effort to wipe away the fundamental principles of the nation, historians and scholars in Fox Nation's "American Requiem" series offer an elegy for what the country used to be and warn of what it has become.

“It’s already happened. It’s gone.”

Almost certainly! I don’t think there is ANY POSSIBLE way to revive it now. All the ways mentioned here are either impossible in this society, or simply a fool’s errand like “voting them out”. All viable options, except one, are controlled by the evil opposition, and few, if ANY, have the juevos for that option.

We had our chance for decades, or even over a hundred years, but comfort and greed stopped us. It was always too easy to sit in comfort, toke a joint, slam a few brews and ignore the creeping horror while watching old TV reruns.

Who sold out America? With few exceptions, look in your mirror...

perhaps the key is to find an issue that folks could agree on, rather than a polarizing one.
Otherwise it’s too big. The vaccine issue would require fighting the Gov, both parties, folks in your own party and the opposing party.
Surely there are a Myriad of issues folks could unite around?

If inflation was measured the same way they did in the 70’s inflation would be at 12-15% across the board. Stay out of it Eurotrash.

I agree that it is gone already. The young people were successfully indoctrinated through the schools and social media. They are getting the government they think they want. It will be too late when they find the mistake.

We must get TRUMP back into our Nation

Anyone who thinks that a single elderly man can make a such a difference is in for a rude awakening. This Nation belongs to the young; and, they want what they eventually won't like. The Nation is irreparably lost.

Trump did see himself as doing that, and perhaps still does. This sentiment being meant without derision toward Trump. Just as he did in 2015, he sees that the U.S. needs saving. Obviously the question becomes whether a tipping point, an event horizon, a point-of-no-return, has been reached.

Baloney! Maybe YOU did, but I have been fighting them, or at least trying to, all of my adult life

Demographics, unfettered 3rd world immigration, cultural rot, pagan religion infusion into the culture, and just total depravity will do us in.

There’s no getting around the fact that we’re on borrowed time due to all of these.

The country I was born in no long exists.

It would seem to me that comparing America to times past against what it is today is realizing that the missing element is indeed GOD. There are still good places to live in America, but they are dwindling. They seem to be small cities where there is not enough to attract profits for big-city crime. Being small, they consequently don’t have enough opportunities to attract as many decent folks, either. If one is willing to accept the limitations of smaller cities,one can still find good places to live....just don’t expect to have every convenience at your beck & call. Big cities usually mean too many people voting for the wrong things hoping it will make life better. It generally results in getting the opposite effect.

“Look up” is a phrase Johnathan Roumie is commonly being heard to utter in his role of Jesus as The Chosen now moves through to the end of its third season. The phrase is not strictly biblical AFAIK. But as the scenes of deliverance and healing in Jesus’ ministry tick off, one by one, with the ill and downtrodden so often and so understandably being seen looking down, one can imagine that Jesus must have express this command often.

Remember Reagan?

Caused by a rejection of God and His ways, not insanity.

The vehicle? Marxist/atheist takeover of education & media, as communists planned in 1930’s......

Not insanity - a rejection of all morality caused by a rejection of God Himself.

Heck, only few of us older people even remember what it was like in Old America. And we are quickly going away too. My congratulations for beginning this New America goes to the Ever Noxious Nasty Nixon.
