Re-education camps work wonders in de-diversifying large populations.

2020 punctuated the generations-long decline of our republic. Will that half of America that sent Trump to drain the swamp care anymore after believing themselves disenfranchised in 2020?
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Never has there been a non-divine cadence more beautiful to the human ear. But some 200 years later, a death-knell to our great country seems to be sounding its deafening toll instead.
With 2020 punctuating the generations-long decline of our republic, one must ponder if America is too big to save. Are Americans too weak, too soft, too ignorant, too indoctrinated, and too compliant to seek her restoration?
Is there any hope for a country when political machines control large swaths of voters? When politicians can become so inoculated from the consequences of their actions that they can ignore the plight of suffering Americans for months, only to then insult the struggling populace with a COVID spending bill so filled with pork and foreign spending that it diverts more tax dollars to non-pandemic spending than to family pocketbooks?
Can a country survive when it funds a sprawling federal bureaucracy so large decisions are detached from the needs of everyday Americans? When self-interest governs decisions and politicians become profiteers, when public service serves only to swell the offshore accounts of government officials and their families? Is reform possible when the bureaucrats rule and a revolving door of political appointees exits with one administration, only to return with the next, proclaiming to know more, know better, and not care what Americans want or need?
Can a country survive a federal bureaucracy so sprawling, so corrupt (or so indifferent) that 19 months proved insufficient for the seasoned U.S. Attorney (now Special Counsel) John Durham to untangle the players and the plot that targeted Donald Trump?
Will that half of America that sent Trump to drain the swamp care anymore after believing themselves disenfranchised in 2020 with illegal and fraudulent votes counted in battleground states? Will any American even believe his vote matters when fraud is written off as too small, or when time is too short and courts are too political to investigate and address the irregularities?
With a corporate media so large and so biased that it can silence these stories and more, can the tide turn? When our country’s free press proves more manipulative than the state-run media of authoritarian regimes, can our country be saved? Can truth prevail when all-powerful social media outlets control what voices and what news deserve to be heard?
When “two weeks to flatten the curve” turns the corner on a year, will the little people be big enough to say “Enough”? Or will the populace bend further? Will the tyrants who closed aisles, stores, and schools under the COVID banner find the flu, or global warming, or social justice equivalent emergencies? Will an America that bent the knee ever stand again?
Can a republic survive when unions are larger and stronger than the parents of the pupils left awash as educational nomads? Can a republic survive when those same children learn not to love our country but to hate it?
Can our citizens withstand a wokeness so widespread that it threatens to destroy the livelihoods and lives of those who dare to speak the truth? When law and order is branded racist and riots and violence are tolerated, is a rebound possible?
When calls for unity translate to demands for acquiescence and an abandonment of those classical liberal values on which our country was founded, society will splinter. As society splinters, foreign interference will escalate further—even though the mammoth media outlets ignore it—until a stranglehold leaves America a limp patch on the beauty our Founding Fathers devised.
Patriots have two choices: shelter with family and friends, living as free as permitted by our overlords, or join together to use every peaceful means to save our country. America is not too big to save, if We the People are big enough to try.
Where to start? Start small, or more precisely at the local level. Every single locally elected position should have a candidate dedicated to the preservation of our Constitution. If you can’t run, help recruit others who can. At a minimum, quiz candidates for public office on their positions.
Join with others to start a citizen-run local news outlet and cover local and statewide news. Attend and cover local meetings, including—and especially—local school board meetings. File public information requests to obtain information on curriculum and ensure our country is not defamed.
Pull your kids out of public schools if at all possible, while still monitoring, reporting, and demanding schools educate and not indoctrinate children. Parents who have no other options, speak out. Demand change and support those parents who do so. If good people stand tall and refuse to surrender their conscience and common sense, the silent majority will find its voice.
If We the People join together statewide, we can secure election integrity. Demand legislators and secretary of state candidates pledge to clean voting rolls, institute voter ID and signature verification requirements, establish tight controls over all ballots, dump computerized voting, and limit mail-in voting. Push for mandatory 24/7 livestream and video-recorded monitoring of every poll-counting place. And volunteer as poll watchers.
Demand candidates for federal office support election-integrity efforts as well. Then push for federal representatives and employees to disband from D.C. Power dispersed is power dissipated.
And pray. Our Founding Fathers did as they demanded a reclamation of the rights inherent in our nature, and so must we as we do the same.
Put you faith and trust in God, not man. Trusting in man is the root problem in America right now.
The important question is: Has the United States passed the point of no return in its descent into decadence?
Donald Trump believed that it had not. So convinced was he that he risked everything--a considerable amount in his case--to save his beloved America. He's still fighting!
Was he right? Once decay has set in in a society, can it be reversed?
When the decadence of Western Civilisation erupted into the open in America, back in the 1960s, as the spoiled brats of the American boys, who walked directly into machine-gun fire on the beaches of Normandy and raised the flag on Mount Suribachi to save America and the world, sashayed onto the world stage chanting "Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll! and "If if feels good, do it!" was it already too late to save America?
Would the American boys have died on the beaches and fought their way up the cliffs of Normandy if they had known what their children would do to America?
Could anyone have predicted that by the year 2020, America's most sacred, revered, and trusted institutions, including the Supreme Court, would have been corrupted--would have descended into decadence?
Would anyone have believed it back in 1944?
Even in the 1960s?
United States of America in 2020 is the Roman Empire on September 21, 454.

By 476 AD it was pretty much over for the Western Roman Empire.
How long did it take the USSR to break up into the CIS, and eventually into republics?
It took a year or two if I recall. Why wouldn’t the US do that? Buy UHaul Stock.
There is an enemy working to overthrow our Constitution.
Before we speak of saving the country, we might want to define exactly who it is we are at war with (i.e., who is behind the coup).
Secession. The other option.
that’s what I mean by “divorce”
After detailing the depths to which the country has fallen, the author thinks the nation can be retaken peacefully?
Sorry. Peaceful means are no longer an option. Until the government actually begins to fear, nothing at all will change, in fact the suck will continue to accelerate.
330 million hugely diverse people cannot be governed as one nation.
The only unanswered questions...
Can the country be broken up peacefully and without destroying the economy?
Every politician swears to faithfully follow the Constitution, and then laughs as they refuse to do so.
Certainly it has to much debt to save it

Great art work.
Thank you!

Borrowed from American Thinker.
(I won’t be reconstructed and I do not give a damn...)
I love Hoyt Atkins’ version. I think of my paternal great grandfather, born one hundred tears before my birth, his grave with the confederacy marker is in a churchyard one hour from here. On a good day I can sing it from memory and I flatter myself that I sound somewhat like Hoyt.
My great grandfather did not fight to preserve slavery, he fought against a foreign invasion, there are NO black people anywhere around me who share my last name and I have only known of two who do in my life, one an actor and the other an athlete.
The US is too f’d up to be the leader of the world right now.
I have said that every election is a contest to see which candidate can promise to violate the constitution in the most appealing ways and then the winner swears to uphold it when sworn into office.
It all reminds me of the movie scenes where the Don goes to the catholic church for the funeral of the man he had killed.
Hypocrisy at the utmost level.
It may already have broken apart and we just haven’t realized it yet.
>>>United States of America in 2020 is the Roman Empire on September 21, 454.<<<
I agree with your feelings on the matter, but disagree with the timeline.
The Roman Republic went through the process of decay that we’re facing right now, although the specifics are different. Nevertheless, by the time the republic was all but dead, there was an arrogant elite ruling over a corrupt empire in everything but name, bloated with looted goods from conquered territories, and a population that routinely mocked and ignored their own traditions to the point where many copied Greek culture instead. The Roman republic was designed for a small area on the Italian peninsula, not for a nation that commanded a huge part of the world.
My fear is not collapse. The republic was saved, at least in the minds of the Romans, by giving Augustus supreme power to bring peace and prosperity from the chaos. I have read that he was conservative, loved Roman traditions, and one of his first acts as emperor was to bring back the Senate. By the time he was gone several decades later, everyone had forgotten the republic, and they were ruled by kings from that point on.
I can see the same thing here. When the left tries to take power, it will be awful and bloody. There will be chaos. People will cry out for the leader. Someone who calls themselves a conservative, a traditionalist, someone who will restore the Constitution. The new Washington. The statues will return, the 1619 Project will be thrown out, and maybe those who created it executed for the public good. Business will boom, the economy will grow, the streets will be safe, and everyone will thank the state and the practically worship the leadership that brought it about. And the people will forget what it was like to live in a place with limited government and individual sovereignty.
There were still people on Earth who called themselves Romans when Columbus discovered the New World. The autocracy of the Romans, in the West, and then in the East, lasted for almost 1,500 years. We might have the same trajectory. Compared to the Chinese, the Americans are all smiles, as long as you pay the taxes and don’t mess with them militarily.
I would actually think tomorrow is crossing the Rubicon. We haven’t even gotten to the Battle of Actium yet. And the Chinese are a lot like the Egypt of Rome’s time - that long-established power full of themselves.
But who the hell knows except God? Interesting times ahead.
