Interesting perspective and post, thanks.
I agree that this nation (I no longer refer to it as “ours” or “mine” - I didn’t leave my country, my country left me, to paraphrase - is now too far gone for any restoration, particularly by the ballot box). It is logical then that the actual fall will come with a strong push from ascendant outside enemies who have waited many decades for the opportunity.
Ugh, I hate to say it, but I see it your way 100%! I’ve recently thought of our red blooded kids, joining the military to prepare and/or fight our enemies abroad... but the battle is now within our borders.
