That's "inside the box" thinking.
There is no United States anymore. We are no longer "united."
As Khrushchev said, "We will destroy you from within."
As a nation, we now have a cancer eating away at us.
Socialism/Communism.
Socialism/Communism have been beavering away at the West and the US since 1917. Just because the old Soviet Union fell and the Berlin Wall came down doesn’t mean those ideologues committed to destroying the West stopped their work.
There is no United States anymore. We are no longer “united.”
***************
The United States has become an oxymoron. We are a bifurated country whose cultural underpinnings are being erroded everyday by Leftist ideology and open borders.
I fear the 2020 election will be a bloody mess. If TRump wins it could spark violence and murder, assassination and coup. The Left will seize power like the Bolsviks of old Soviet Russia. Then, CWII will start—A war between states, New England/California Pacific coast vs Texas, the south and Midwest. It will not last as long but it will take many more lives. Estimate 4 to 6 million deaths, 25 ruined cities, the lost of America as a superpower. Only winners, China and Russia.
Go listen to the Yuri Bezmenov interviews. Go read the Soviet Communist goals for subverting the US/West the were read into the Congressional Record c. 1963. Then look at what Democrats stand for, their platform, their legislative initiatives, etc.
It is hard to escape the conclusion that we are seeing the effects of a successful multi-decadal psyops program.
