They say that America has had its day in the sun; that our nation has passed its zenith: My fellow patriot-Americans, we must utterly reject that view

[basquebromance]

They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities

The American people, the most generous on earth, who created the highest standard of living, are not going to accept this. The American people deserve better.

Republican Wesley Hunt, whose strong fundraising and military background already have fueled speculation that he’ll be a rising star in the party, easily won in Texas’ new 38th District, beating Democrat Duncan Klussmann.

And this Dem rising star featured in the link also won

Hope for both parties with a new generation of leaders!

They told us we were through in the 1970s, yet....

I noted a post from Vermin Supreme where he claims to have won the election. He notes that the electorate is more divided than ever "I Win".

He has a point.

 

[struth]

i reject it! we can make America great again…these past two years have been hard but the light is shining through…two more years, ans we can put this dark chapter in the rear view

 

[BluesLegend]

Clearly America is led by morons in Washington so, maybe.

 

[shockedcanadian]

America should have protected itself from outside interference, including from nations that were allies.
America was probably at it's most powerful during the 1920s, the Second World War became a long term burden on U.S influence as you became more centralized afterwards more closely aligning with nations who said they were allied but whose systems you fought to leave so more than a century prior.

The collapse of the West has been sharp and China is much smarter than former U.S adversaries while government and citizens in the West are far less patriotic (often with justifiable arguments as to why, see "poor, self serving politicians").

The Democrat Cult's election rigging crimes, abuses of power, corruption, lying about everything all of the time, hate, racism and violence has turned our once great nation into a banana republic.

Sorry bout that,

1. America was once a Great Nation, it is fallen.

What would it take for America to become 'great' again?

It would take a huge reversal of attitude on the part of millions and millions of people. People who now want our children to be taught that America is structurally racist, soaked in racism, stole the land it's on, etc ... these people would have to say, "Oh, I was wrong!"

Sorry, but that's not going to happen. Especially since these people are, for the most part, college-educated, and strong in their beliefs. And their beliefs are not 'intellectual' ones, like what the nature of dark matter is. They are deeply emotional, because they validate themselves as good, virtuous people because of their beliefs.

And note: these people include most college professors, most teachers, most NGO employees and government employees, most journalists, many lawyers, most of the Democratic Party, and most multi-millionaires and billionaires.

In a word, our intelligentsia.

So we're not going to turn these folks around. ... even were we to win some elections.

This doesn't mean it's hopeless. But it does mean we have to think about radical solutions.

A Nation divided against itself, can not stand. - Abe Lincoln

Old Abe knew what he was talking about. On the other hand, the South and the North had the same values, more or less. So after their defeat, the Confederates were re-integrated successfully -- some of their leaders even served in the Army later.

But our house is divided on fundamental attitudes: the Left despises America, and despises ordinary Americans.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Anyone thinking America is not in a decline is simply not paying attention.
On multiple levels.
On a governmental level, federally, we are certainly beyond the point in which we are no longer effectively governed. The federal government is almost A) entirely divided. B) entirely corrupt.
They can't work together on anything, nearly every bill is now almost entirely down party lines.
And corporatism/globalism has corrupted both sides basically 100%.
Culturally. I saw a statistic I think it was only 58% of high school students said they were proud to be American. That is holy shit bad. There is going to be a very-very heavy price to pay for this.
1 in 5 high school students claim to be non gender specific. Holy shit that is bad. There is going to be a heavy-heavy price to pay for that.
There is a Chinese spy balloon flying over our sovereign airspace as I type this... you think for one second we wouldn't have blown that ******* thing out of the sky 20 years ago?? No country would have DARED to do something like that since Russia's sputnik. China has no respect for America. None.
And why the hell would they? Look at us. Our President is at the very least a senile old man, worse possibly has early dementia. He can't even say a complete sentence.
We have never been this weak since before WW II.

'They say that America has had its day in the sun; that our nation has passed its zenith: My fellow patriot-Americans, we must utterly reject that view'

Why?

Has Biden ordered the military to finally shoot down Xi's 'In your face, puss' CCP spy balloon he has allowed to violate our sovereignty, fly deep into the US, and hang out for days over US ICBM silos?

Have Democrats finally figured out what a woman is, what bathrooms to use again, and that biological males can not give birth?

Have Democrats come to their sense and abandoned their agenda of targeting and preying on mentally / physically / emotionally underdeveloped, highly impressionable young children by teaching them to lie and hide things from their parents while training, manipulating, indoctrinating, and brainwashing them through CRT, Transgender grooming, and encouraging them to engage in pysical sexual / genital mutilation?

Have Democrats given up their desires to either kill, ****, traffick, or indoctrinate babies / children?

Have Democrats DE-weaponized their partisan administration and federal agencies they have used to target, punish, silence, censor, intimidate, and violate the Constitutional and legal rights of US citizens?

Has Biden escaped from his dementia-ravaged brain fog and handlers to the revelation that he has surrendered US sovereignty, violated both Constitution and law, jeopardized both national security and the safety of US citizens through his criminal Open Border policy supporting the on-going invasion that is forever, irreversibly changing this nation and threatening our democracy...is he reversing all of his crimes / policies in an attempt to reverse some of the damage, if not try to save the country?

Have Democrats finally enbraced the belief that the safety, security, and rights of US citizens - not those of illegals - is their top priority, rhe reason they hold their elected positions, and the oath they swore to carry out?

Have Democrats acknowledged the two-tiered Political, judicial, and class sytems they have created and enforce, and are they showing any intent to literally undo it all for a return to 1 America, 1 equal justice system for ALL Americans, to fully include themselves?

Have Democrats sanyn any interest in holding their own accountabe for the crimes, inexcusable racism / anti-semitism, unethical, immoral, self-serving acts they have engaged in?

Have Democrats abandoned their criminal fiscal mismanagement of US tax dollars entrusted to them, abandoned continous self-serving, self-benefitting, nation-destroying mega-debt-adding spending, as we quickly approach $32 TRILLION dollars below the mark signifying our nation is 'Broke'?

***The current poisonous, deficit-adding, pork-filled Omnibus bill and the Democrats' call to eliminate the debt ceiling so they will finally be free, unchecked, to spend any amount they want when they want on anything they want - as Americans suffer, shows politicians on both sides have stopped being concerned about doing so.


I think not. There is no evidence of any of this to be found.

Your call to believe America's best days are ahead while the country's leaders and government are still infested with these terminal diseases that remain unaddressed / unresolved with no leadership desire to do so is an attempt to continue to convince the disinformation-fed sheep to believe this SSDD course we are on will lead to prosperity and greatness.

Americans have heard these arguments from the left, and that is why a widely reported 70% of Americans believe our leaders and this nation's course is headed in the WRONG direction.

Nice fodder for a political chat board, though, I guess.
