In 20 years, we will be looking back on Hillary's outsized feeling of entitlement, the Seth Rich murder, the Russian collusion hoax, the Vegas shooting, and the election rigging by social media and lame street media of a corrupt senile politician and his sidekick that barely got 2% in the primaries and the complete manipulation of the poll results and realize we lived through the craziest 4 years ever . . . and know we were on the right side.

Hopefully an utter epic catastrophe doesn’t have to happen for our society to finally wake up and see the loonesy of these godless events/people behind these events and realize there is something bigger and more meaningful available within our existence than tearing things down in the name progress, for the sake of making noise, rather than actually defining how a destructive action would logically be of value to anyone in a society,

The Renaissance period was preceded by the Black Plague, the great famine, debauchery and decadence of citizens acting out in a world they thought was ending, with nothing to lose. Once the plague receded, they pulled their heads out of their asses in Europe, and suddenly beauty, art, and Music were flourishing at an amazing pace. For us the The last 4 years have been eye opening as to how far some lowlifes and following sheep are willing to destabilize our republic, through baseless horseshit lies and unseemly acts against others. On the flip side, I have learned a ton from pedes here and previously on theDonald. It feels great to already know we are, in fact, on the side of truth.

I think the last 4 years have shown that America can say . . . ehhm . . . good bye to international participation and it will be doing better than if it was participating. We are a huge country with huge resources, an industrial base, skills, financial and legal systems that allow growth.

Think about actual full employment as it was 40-60 years ago. Employment that takes you from high school or community college with one or two employers to retirement in your late 50's, that doesn't necessarily require variable shift schedules, pouring someone a coffee or flipping a burger, where you can buy a house, pay off your cars, save some money, have a retirement check arrive that's not from the government. Think about actually being able to survive on one income.

Think about the wealth not being concentrated on the coasts because they deliver a bunch of cat pictures or because they sell you a shirt at 1000% mark-up made by an 11 year old in Asia.

Think about your local bank actually having bankers locally not in some call center in New Jersey or Ceritas.

Think about a military that protects the country instead of running an empire and soldiers who serve the people and not some neocon nation building strategy.

All those AOC types have no idea what the country used to look like (and honestly I have watched hundreds of hours of videos and read dozens of books to see what the past looks like (and yes there were injustices but we have learned) . What the AOCs want is what MAGA essentially is. And one day they will realize they had it in their grip . . .

Yes, things here have changed greatly, particularly in my 50 years. The shrinking world has certainly impacted us in ways that can only be measured by looking at the past. For me the washing away of long standing unique cultures, traditions and developed skillsets is really harmful in that one slowly loses their origins and roots which are so important to the stability of human beings in so many ways, particularly to kids who learn so much early on from their own unique cultures. I grew up in the 60s and 70s which I often refer to as the Golden Age for kids. Life was largely more innocent and more predictable. That’s a really good point about AOC. I would also say that she never uses history as a guide in any of her ramblings, because she is not remotely interested in it except for inane Hitler references to Trump. Without knowing our past, how do we possibly realize and appreciate where we are actually going?
