I submitted a very negative, reactionary, apocalyptic post previously and I want to say here and now I HOPE I’M WRONG!. In fact, I hope that, after all is said and done, after we figure out a way to manage ourselves through this, that we see a new birth of freedom in our country.
That being said, it will take the right people [horses] a good deal of time to straighten out the mess. We have a lot of work to do to reclaim our country.
The future is not yet written, and the task ahead of us is not impossible.
We've been in tough spots before. I remember the '70s and '80s. We were all going to die, Japan was going to eat the world, America couldn't compete, America was the root of evil in the world, etc...
We're blessed with a great inheritance. We're being asked to understand it and defend it. That doesn't seem too impossible a task, given what the founders did to create it.
Assuming we'll lose is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
