The United States Cannot Survive as Presently Constituted
American Thinker ^ | Feb. 6, 2017 | Michael Philosof

Posted on 02/06/2017 4:02:04 AM PST by Badboo

“With slight shades of difference,” wrote George Washington in 1796, Americans “have the same religion, manners, habits and political principles.

That is no longer true."

Trump won because the working class regardless of backround have had enough of politics as usual.

Dunno where you get that idea.
The Left had more votes (even if many of them were illegal or fraudulent) and their voting base is younger.
They control the media and education system.
It is amazing that we’ve survived as long as we have. I can only hope that Pres. Trump is the start of something new to counter these things.

Take away the FRUD VOTE and Trump won the popular vote.

This article sums up (only much better articulates) my reasoning for buying my new home and property in rural KY two weeks before the 2008 election and moving there in 2011 from my home of 46 years, Seattle.

And I thank God for the move every day.

Yep. There is a youtube video called “Humans need not apply” that covers this.

There is also a book called “Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era” that is even more depressing.

It is based on facts that there is VOTER FRAUD out there.

Frankly I do not believe you at all.

I heard on NPR this morning that the Superbowl was yesterday and there was a comeback win in overtime.

Both were news to me.

It probably seemed that way in 1970 too.


It’s very different this time. That’s the point of the first paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

And keep in mind that our country is in a bit more debt than it was back then. I compare it thusly:

1960’s: we have 50% equity in our house and six months income saved up and dad loses his job.
Today: We are underwater on our house and all the credit cards are maxed out, we have no savings, and dad loses his job.

On the surface they seem the same, but they will play out very differently.

There is change, and there is the Russian Revolution.

There is change, and there is the civil war.

There is change, and there is WWII.

Etc.

Don't kid yourself. Demography is destiny. The composition of the electorate is changing rapidly due to mass immigration, Denial just ain't a river in Egypt.

There is no doubt that there were Trump Democrats, who helped Trump narrowly win MI, WI, and PA. No other Rep candidate could do that.

The differences are regional. CA is overwhelmingly nutbag despite the lamentations from the ex-burbs and hinterland. They need to secede. The whole state.

We need a moratorium on all immigration NOW, and anchor babies stripped of citizenship retroactively.

But if a mere temporary travel ban from certain countries has caused people to lose their minds the way it has, I have no hope that a moratorium will ever actually happen.

Bye-bye, country that we knew and loved.

I remember things being pretty rough in the 1960s/70s too. For a while my Dad was really worried about getting laid off. It never happened, but the tension in the house was palpable. One top of that it turned out my Mom’s credit card tab was a lot more than Dad thought. Lots of fighting. We actually put our house up for sale at one point. Kind of a dark period from my childhood.

Problem is they might take the whole Left coast with them. OR and WA are not that far off. The ironic thing is that if CA seceded, they would become a part of Mexico in 20 years if not sooner. The libs in CA would quickly learn they are not really in control.

When a state secedes the whole state secedes.
