We Have Been Fundamentally Transformed

[Weatherman2020]

No one desires to fundamentally transform anything they love.

The Great Disappointment Of 2016:

What I’m thinking about this week is a focus group led by Peter Hart, the veteran Democratic pollster, Tuesday night, in Charlotte, N.C., still a toss-up state. Present were a dozen late-decider voters, three Democrats, six Republicans and three independents.

What struck me about the group wasn’t its new insights, which were few. What was powerful was its averageness, its confirmation of what you’ve already observed. The members weren’t sad, precisely, but they were unillusioned. They were seeing things with clean eyes and they were disappointed. They wanted a candidate they could trust and believe in.

Which when you think about it shouldn’t be too much to ask.

Raise your hand, said Mr. Hart, if you like both candidates. No one did. Raise your hand if you like one candidate. No one did. Raise if you don’t like either. All 12 did. . . .

Mr. Hart asked: Will the next generation be better off? No one raised a hand. This is not news; it’s been a cliché since the crash of 2008. You get used to the data: Americans no longer assume their children will have it better than they did. But it was striking to see these dozen thoughtful people keep their hands down.

Asked what has been lost in America, one respondent said security for kids: “They can’t just go out and play.” “Innocence for kids,” said another. Parents no longer feel the world, even the immediate one, is a safe place.

What is missing in America? “A freshness,” said a middle aged man. He went on to speak of the 1950s, “Ozzie and Harriet,” when things seemed newer somehow and assumptive of progress.

Is America off track? They all nodded.

yea where "negroes" other minorities and women knew their place in white christian America. Going back ain't going to happen,

the 1950s would still not be the “good old days” for people of colour and women.

No group of people surveyed was more sentimental about the 1950s than white evangelical Protestants, with 74 percent believing society was better off then.

2008 was the change election. All the Right (or whatever it is currently) can do now is mitigate the speed and depth of that change.

First generation in American history to not be better off than their parents, congratulations.
You can keep your Gulags to yourself, comrade.

If we're not going back there peacefully then maybe we need to go back to April of 1775 or 1861.

Right and Wrong do not consider who may be advanced or confined. They simply are what they are.

People drive their kids to school who then go thru metal detectors to get into class. The left have made civilization a dangerous place where the youth have no chance to obtain wealth in their lives.

That nasty attitude and obstruction were principles of our Founding Fathers and their Revolutionary brothers. The Constitution Limits Government rather than Empowering it.

My dad and his friends routinely took their rifles to school so they could rabbit hunt afterwards.
It's the immorality of the left that brought the decline.
