Stupidity is as stupidity does. Our country has become a science fiction movie.
It is poor leadership at the highest levels of government that has led to the decline of the nation.
The USA today is a larger version of NY City in the years before Rudy Giuliani was elected mayor and cleaned it up.
A series of weak democrat, liberal and RINO NY City mayors turned the city into a licentious cesspool in the 1970s, '80s and '90s.
Liberals were easy on street crime and law breakers at all levels - from misdemeanors to felonies.
Instead of enforcing the laws they were concerned with pandering to favored voting blocs and would just wring their hands over complaints that the city was out of control.
People reacted to the weakness and corruption of the mayors by losing respect for the city leaders and the law. People basically ignored any law they didn't like, from littering to graffiti, zoning, porn shops and clip joints.
When Rudy Giuliani took office in 1994 he immediately reinstated enforcement of all laws and prosecuted lawbreakers.
In only a few short years of his strong leadership he was able to clean the city up and effect a complete turnaround. He cleaned the streets up, he cleaned the graffiti off the subway cars and buildings, he let the police do their jobs, take the criminals off the street and he backed them up. He didn't side with the criminals and lawbreakers as our president often does.
That is the kind of leadership that is lacking in the entire nation today.
America has become the movie “Idiocracy”. I believe it was fiction, but it is reality for some time now.
