It's on life support at the moment. May not make it through the night. 🙏

The United States of America died in 1913. The entire system was based on an extremely delicate balance of power that was altered to the point that the whole system collapsed with the passage of the 17th amendment.

It has simply taken this long for the consequences to reach a tipping point. It would have happened sooner, but two world wars got in the way and slowed it down. The mainstream media and the internet managed to speed it right the fuck back up, though.

There is no saving this country unless and until the 17th is repealed. Everything we might try is just bailing water on the Titanic. Not even Trump could fix it, just slow it down.

Roman Empire lasted much longer. There are some outliers outside of the 250 year average, but in the US case it depends if the people are willing to survive as a nation or not. They’re demanding nuclear launch codes from trump right now so it’s all on the line, don’t think for a second these demon worshippers will hesitate to annihilate us all

If you split rome into the republic and empire it follows a similar path. Read Glubb's "The fate of empires" its free and about 30 pages. He lays it out pretty well

I’m understanding it’s from Trump. Biden hasn’t been talking with the pentagon he doesn’t have access to nukes thank God almighty.

The other day I spoke with a Muslim from Saudi Arabia who explained it simply. If you cannot kill them, they can always kill themselves so work toward making them do that.

Within three generations of a sexual revolution, cultures collapse. I told my bros this last fall, started paying attention to politics in Jan, and everything I've seen confirms it.

Im referencing a study done by an agnostic who looked at the rise and fall of cultures for 2000 years. Sexual revolutions bring the degradation of culture and the collapse of civilizations.

America has been dead for generations and most of its people have been lulled to sleep for just as long, 2020 proved that fact.

At some point, we need to get down in the gutter. Getting tired of being pushed hard, every damn day. I know they want this, though, and it is the only thing holding most of us back.

Exactly. Any real action we take will be spun by the media as evil and the vast majority will believe it.

The United States isn't an empire. At best we've led a hegemony since the 1940's, and we are now moving back to an isolationist/non-hegemonic situation.

Which is fine, the U.S. is more than able to have continued success in an isolationist state. Our economy is based on domestic consumption; most of the world's leading economies are mercantilist (export-reliant). The next closest non-mercantile economy is India, which is 1/8th the size of the US economy. Japan, the world's #3 economy, has been unsuccessfully trying to switch to a domestic consumption economy for 20 years; an exemple of how difficult it really is. We're also the most innovative nation on Earth.

And frankly, while governments across the world have gotten more democratic over the last 100 years, government policies have become more and more invasive as well. The populations of most countries are signaling that the status quo is not what they voted for, not just citizens of the U.S.

We must be prepared to rise up a new nation from the ashes.

Already did. Lady Liberty is gasping right now but the death rattle has begun. America is gone.
