The thing is, this is about White Liberals wanting to be in charge, they use minorities for their own benefit to get rid of Conservatism. But in the end, it will still be Whites ruling the roost.

Maher is correct about cultural silliness - but he completely misses that he and his post-modern, socialist, atheist ilk caused it ALL

Unless a miracle saves America, and it could, President Trump has proven that once the decadence of a civilisation has passed a critical point, the decadence is irreversible and the civilisation is doomed.

Note tagline.

Hard times make strong men.
Strong men make good times.
Good times make weak men.
Weak men make hard times.

Guess where we are in the cycle?

Is it "reversible"?

No.

No country goes back to being what it was.

Best thing that can be hoped for is a rebirth. But that will likely be in a different vessel, if at all.

Some of those white liberals wear R jerseys for camouflage, Flimsey Grahamnesty for example.

Eze 14:12-23, "The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it: Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD. If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts: Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate. Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves. Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast? Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it. And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.

Just substitute the USA for Jerusalem, and that's the state of condition this country is in.

I for one do not believe this nation can be saved because the only way it can be done is to completely isolate the evil men and women causing this destruction, move them out of the way, and for competent men and women take their places.

But let's face it; that won't be done. We are witnessing a unique period in human and Bible history; we're just the unfortunate sons and daughters that have to endure a time which vexes our souls, makes us weep inside and out, because we see a once great nation being brought to its knees by the immoral and corrupt, and no one will do a thing to stop them.

Of course, it’s all part of the illusion.

FR is a good place to find people who define what you want and dont want in a person you are sharing a foxhole with.

Our educational system is now dedicated to destroying the culture and nation, and to denying reality on woke issues.

Voucher the schools. Allow parents to vote with their feet. That would not be an instant solution, but it would at least attack the cancer at its roots.

The lessons of history are too plain to believe that the odds are not against us but we have one ally, the Chinese. They may, and vary likely will, overplay their hand. Any incident that unites America such as Pearl Harbor or 9/11 could well galvanize the inherent resilience of the nation.

Such a galvanizing event is necessary because we are currently akin to the proverbial frog in the boiling pot. Our entire culture must be reversed and that cannot come from appeals to logic or even rhetorical exhortation, it must come from a slap in the face.

A civilization decline is like a person aging. You can delay it, you can temporarily reverse some of its effects it with really good set of treatments.
But long term it is not reversible, it is inevitable.

even an act of war from china will not unite American communists/marxists and American patriots. The schizm is irreversible. It’s a fight to the death, us or them.

Think Russia during World War I.

Even the pukes are beginning to see what they have created and realize they are coming down with us. Civilization will continue. However, it will speak Chinese.

Somewhere between 36 to 40 Chinese children are studying classical piano. The United States probably have a comparable number of aspiring rap artists. If you do not see a problem with that you should stop reading. Hao Huang, a professor of music at Scripps College says, “The future of Western classical music as a ‘living art form’ may be in the hands (and fingers) of the East’s rising musicians rather than those of the West, where classical music is “marginalized by the contemporary entertainment industry.”

I see many posts on FR about fighting. Exactly what do you propose to do? Unlike basement-dwelling Antifa types and the BLM thugs, the average middle class American has a lot to lose. We have children, grandchildren, homes, jobs, etc. Do you really think they are going to rise up and start a civil war? Do you think elections are going to change anything, especially with the flood of illegals who will soon be voters?
I’m old and not going anywhere, but I hope younger people will seriously consider leaving if things get too bad.

We have left the golden age and are now coming to the silver age. We were Rome—now Byzantium. We may well lose territory (Alaska and Hawaii) Maybe the Pacific Coast to a new power. All empires Fall because of internal flaws—Our obsession’s with race maybe the thing as Rome’s obsession’s with Religion—and that Bread and Circus thing was there’s
