@ PC. America is not finished as a nation quite yet, but the country/society is changing somewhat towards the worse. I DO understand your mode of logic. Better yet I have read enough of your posts to realize where you are going even when you do not directly say where you are going in a post of yours(I read the message between your lines). I have included the link(1.5 hrs. long!) below as it pertains to HOW & WHY a society changes towards the worse, or in this case the absolute WORST it can be. The two authors/lecturers are EXCELLENT in the use of both empirical evidence & logic/theory(post tense) regarding the history of these societal plagues which are far too numerous to even begin to list. Both authors/lecturers use psychological(individual) & sociological(group) examples to the fullest extent possible for the time frame of the vid. The term groupthink is never mentioned as the entire message of the vid is predominantly about groupthink in itself.It was foretold, it was announced, it was acted out in myriad passion plays.
The end of America.
You had to know it was coming.
1.Right at the start we were warned: “If there is a lesson in all of this it is that our Constitution is neither a self-actuating nor a self-correcting document. It requires the constant attention and devotion of all citizens.
There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: "A republic, if you can keep it."
The brevity of that response should not cause us to under-value its essential meaning: democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they are also absolutely dependent upon the active and informed involvement of the people for their continued good health.” Perspectives on the Constitution: A Republic, If You Can Keep It - National Constitution Center
2. Saul Alinsky, servant of the Prince of Darkness, used our freedom and human nature against us. And none of it was done in secret.
"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."
Alinsky, "Rules For Radicals"
"Two of his most notable modern-day disciples are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama."

3. “The latest variation of totalitarianism is neither religious, nor even political: it is cultural. “Totalitarian democracy” is a term made famous by J. L. Talmon to refer to a system of government in which lawfully elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation state whose citizens, while granted the right to vote, have little or no participation in the decision-making process of the government.
Cultural totalitarianism is rule by the individual freed from all external authority or constraints, morality fully privatized with Judeo-Christian traditions under attack.
Moral and cultural relativism are predominant; no lifestyle is better than any other.
Paradoxically, relativist doctrine becomes absolutely unassailable: it brooks no challenges or deviations.”
4. It was the slowest of slow moving revolutions…with so many chances to prevent it, to slap it down, to exile the apparatchiks. But it was too much effort…..so we lost our country instead.
How could we not have seen it coming? Than…..why did we let it get to this point?
What did you want, a gilded card with an RSVP ....'come to the fire sale'?????
Notice the FACIAL EXPRESSIONS on Dr. Wendy Lower's face which @ times turn into a bent lip disgusted sour frown of total despair(been there myself studying this very same subject). Also notice the somber faces on the audience. History repeats itself 101% on a cyclic rate no less because folks are plain & simple too freakin' lazy to study history, which if they did study history would be 101% the end of these copycat societal ills(wars) that plague our planet.
"... I have read enough of your posts to realize where you are going even when you do not directly say where you are going in a post of yours(I read the message between your lines) ..."
Fascinating to read that.
I never hesitate to say exactly what I think, and what I mean. I always believed that am articulate enough to put same in my words.
But I would love to see you post exactly what you think I mean but won't say.
If you have the time and the interest in doing so, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
