Just like the fall of Rome - we the people are decadent and divided, with a rapidly decaying culture and being led by corrupt fascists that are consolidating their power daily.
This will not go back to “normal times”. This only goes forward into full fascism and the loss of everything.

Justinian revived the Roman Empire very effectively for a time. In the end, the Empire fell, but “the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” paints an outrageously anti-Christian picture. The truth is that rather than descending into utter chaos, an “invisible” empire retained those laws of the Empire which were just, while liberating the 99.99% of the Romans who were oppressed by the aristocracy of Rome.
The great collapse of civilization wasn’t the Fall of Rome, even though we lost the secret of the enduring roadways and viaducts. The great collapse was the enlightenment, during which time the average lifespan (at least of someone who survived infancy) plunged, and the great festivals and community celebrations were replaced by unrelenting drudgery.
The Trump presidency was the last gasp hope of reversing course, rolling back the Idiocracy and returning the nation to some semblance of normality.
But with the willing aid of RINOs and the Deep State GOPe democrats were successful in hamstringing President Trump for four years.
And subsequently, with the aid and tacit approval of a spineless and corrupt Supreme Court, democrats were easily able to steal the 2020 election.
As witnessed in the recent 2022 midterms stolen elections by democrats are now the accepted norm enabled by the cowardly and corrupt "justice" system and judiciary.
The "Free Republic" is already gone - the tipping point is now so far back in the rear view mirror it is no longer visible.
