“It would be much much more bitter in a bankrupt, post-United States America.”
One reason the ‘conservative’ radio talk people have lost a lot of credibility is they barely touch on that very point. The consequences we face by failing to reverse course sharply - and soon - are unimaginable.
Hopefully Rush, Sean, etc. will read your post and make it clear to so many who don’t see what’s coming.

Thanks, but none of them are going to be persuaded by any posts of mine. Nevertheless, national dissolution is a real possibility.
People will remain under the authority of a large nation in only three circumstances. At least one of the three must be in effect: 1) Common culture. They are the same, or sufficiently similar ‘people’. e.g. historical Russia or China. The people want to remain. 2) Common interest. It serves them for order, prosperity or at least mutual defense. e.g. Rome, the British Commonwealth, traditional America. Again, the people want to remain. 3) Brute force. e.g. the Persian Empire, the Soviet Union. It doesn’t matter what people want they are compelled to remain.
Our common culture has been under attack for a long time, and it was never, ever as strong as has been touted, and is in very sharp decline now. We have no common interest in remaining in a union where the central government actively discourages individual or commercial success and prosperity, or even economic efficiency, unless of course one is an administrator or dependent of the declining and inefficient state. As for brute force, the Soviet Union was -designed- to hold together through means of intimidation if necessary, and it blew apart in less than a year. The United States is still too full of independent and liberty minded people, who are armed and mechanically and technologically proficient for simple goons to hold it together by brute force. DHS would probably not hold out as long as the Securitat in the face of a mass popular uprising. And, of course, the bankrupt state is not able to pay its goons and thugs very well. The swift and total collapse of European Iron Curtain communism is proof of that.
Absent a radical course correction, the United States will go the same way as the Soviet Union. Dissolution.
Rush can see the possibility and has promised to warn us. By that time, everyone else will see it anyway and he will be in New Zealand or wherever.
Hannity could not grasp the real potential of a post United States America.
Levin I am sure -does- grasp the potential for a post United States America but probably would never admit its possibility.
