Is America Reaching a Suicidal Level of Complacency?
American Thinker ^ | 08/26/2024 | John Green

Posted on 08/27/2024 8:35:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The worst president in modern history has passed the baton to an even worse candidate, Kamala Harris. Harris is calling for government control of all commerce -- though she calls her plan “price controls” rather than communism. Her running mate, Tim Walz, is considerably less nuanced. He endorses communism as “people sharing with each other.”

Kamala Harris has failed at every job she has held. She was the top law enforcement officer in San Francisco. It’s now a cesspool of crime, drug abuse, and homelessness. Then she took her San Fransisco policies statewide as the California Attorney General. Now one of the most naturally blessed states in the country is experiencing a mass exodus of its most productive people.

As the Vice President, Harris was appointed by Joe Biden to be the border czar. Under her supervision, enough illegal aliens entered the country to populate Los Angeles three times over. Yet in this year’s election, Kamala Harris will undoubtedly get over 70 million votes. How is it that someone as unaccomplished as Harris is even competitive?

About one third of voters are concerned that we’re losing our self-governed republic, and vote for the candidates least likely to undermine our Constitution -- Republicans.

Another third of voting age citizens don’t bother to vote. They’re the complacent, who either don’t care about our future, or have given up. The remaining third of adult citizens votes for the party openly undermining the Constitution -- Democrats.

Only a tiny portion of that third are true radicals who think our Constitution is obsolete, and wish our federated republic to be replaced with a system of centralized control. Most Democrat voters are those who vote their feelings. The non-voters and the “feelings” voters comprise the complacent gullible segment of Americans.

The bread and circuses are too good and too plentiful for too many people to care....

Suicide? Yes. But it’s a suicidal level of insanity on the liberal side, and a suicidal level of cowardice by the conservatives. And both trains are hurtling toward the precipice in a race to see who can get there first.

Democrats are like the best friend who enables all your bad behaviors. Republicans are the parents who says no to everything for your own good. That’s why we’re in the mess. Most want the enabled best friend.

It should be a statement not a question at this point.

America Has Reached a Suicidal Level of Complacency

50 years of communist indoctrination in schools works.

Sometimes it seems that way, but then occassionally we do something right, like elect Reagan or Trump.

Back in May 1982, Merle Haggard released this. That was 42 years ago.

“Are The Good Times Really Over”

I wish a buck was still silver
It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis
Before the Vietnam war came along

Before The Beatles and ‘Yesterday’
When a man could still work, still would
The best of the free life behind us now
And are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for Hell?
With no kind of chance
For the Flag or the Liberty Bell

Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?

I wish Coke was still Cola
And a joint was a bad place to be
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV

Before microwave ovens
When a girl could still cook and still would
The best of the free life behind us now
Are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for Hell?
With no kind of chance
For the Flag or the Liberty Bell

Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?

Stop rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for Hell
Stand up for the Flag
And let’s all ring the Liberty Bell

Let’s make a Ford and a Chevy
Still last ten years like they should
The best of the free life is still yet to come
The good times ain’t over for good

I do believe we are already there but conditions are not bad enough yet for people to care and change directions. Sooner or later it will happen and I am glad I will no longer be around when it does.

“Still last ten years like they should”

Well actually they usually do these days.

My Mercury Grand Marquis just rolled over 300,000 miles and is 17 years old,
It’s in the shop to replace the transmission. I’m looking to get another 100,000 miles out of it.

And Merle didn’t know about air fryers.

The non voters are widely misunderstood—and this article does not help.

Surveys have shown that the nonvoters break out the same way as the voters as far as left and right, leaning Democrat or leaning Republican.

That is why “running to the middle” is a doomed strategy.

Each party is much better off sticking to their normal positions and working hard to get their supporters to the polls.

And smart phones!

And I bet Merle wouldn’t be so down on Elvis anymore considering the current alternatives

Imho: Even though a large majority of the American people are dissatisfied with the direction in which the country is headed, the oligarchs continue to disseminate misinformation in order to stimulate confusion because, in many cases, it creates apathy. I could be wrong but I’m not confused.

It isn’t just complacency.

Lawyers make money from trouble.

Kept my first car for 15 years (it was 9 years old when I bought it). I had my previous car 21 years, 225,000 miles, until it was badly damaged by a hit-and-run driver. Current car--12 years, 100,000 miles.

So I wouldn't be satisfied with a car that lasted just 10 years.
