Yes were in a lot of trouble now. When people don’t consider our country and will vote to line their pockets till it all breaks down....see California and Illinois..this republic may be over as we know it.
We will soon have 20 trillion in debt. If interest rates tick up to a modest 5% that a trillion a year....just in interest.
You are exactly correct. This is where we are now. Western civilization is selfish and dying. It's all about security from things instead of freedom to take chances and achieve. Our recent immigrants don't much care about this land (they aren't even told they should), they are simply here to pick the carcass clean and take whatever possible back home with them. The left took over our schools and taught a few generations now that we should feel guilty and ashamed of what we accomplished. The spirit that once fill this nation is flickering out. We are going the way of Europe.
Still, not voting, sitting out, wasting ballots on 3rd party's, etc, none of that does any good. We just have to fight the good fight, even if it means we go down with the ship. At least we stood up and made every logical, reasonable effort to save this country for future generations.
