The nation,the 50 states plus the District of Columbia,*is* too far gone.This nation,as currently constituted,is in a steep,irretrievable,state of decline.However,certain areas/regions of the nation *can* be saved.I'm thinking first of the "red" states.
Let California,New York,Illinois,Vermont,etc make EBT cards mandatory.Let them make all physicians employees of the central government.Let them annex Mexico,Guatemala,El Salvador,etc.Let them legally recognize twelve different "gender identities".Let them destroy their Department of Defense and replace it with a Department of Peace,Love and Inclusiveness.
We can do better.Far better.We learned how to do so from our parents,grandparents and earlier generations.
Hmmm. I thought google or facebook or some such had declared like 52 gender identities. I, for one, can’t name them. Well, 2. Chick and dude. :>}
