Does this mean that the US is gone? Does anyone else here fear that the country will break apart within their lifetimes?
Sadly, perhaps it has become irretrievable. Just as the Pilgrims left England, it may be time for those that value freedom in the USA to do the same in search of a new place. The poster is correct in the long run, how long it takes is probably the only question.
No, but the odds are favorable that the populace will learn to love Big Brother.
Doesn’t mean the fight shouldn’t go on. But the thick of battle is not the place for wide-ranging up and down emotions. It’s the place for dogged determination not to die. And as the battle approaches, finding strategists who can think “four or five moves ahead.”
Are there any on the Republican side? Beats me.
I don’t think it will break apart, but I do think the US as we knew it is on its way out. We are already a country accustomed to welfare and government-controlled education. It will only take a generation to become a population mostly addicted to/dependent on government-controlled health care. As you see in Europe, once people get accustomed to sucking that tit, you can’t pry them off. Once the cities are almost completely reliant on public transportation and, of course, the stricter gun-control laws are passed... it’s pretty much over. We might still be referred to as America but there’ll be very few people who psychologically resemble an American the way we mean it.
