Most people living here don't really understand why they should care one way or another whether the United States continues to exist. Quite a few (like maybe 15% or 20%) would actively like to see our country destroyed, our government replaced with something else. They don't know - or care - what that "something else" would be.
This troubles me greatly, and I know a couple of those people. I’ve gone round and round with them, asking them what kind of government or economic system they want ours replaced with. They have no answer - they don’t know. But they persist in knocking America and capitalism. They don’t have a clue how much worse the world would be without the U.S.
It’s both frightening and infuriating.
