5 years? Hah, let's re-visit this in one year. The merger between corporations (including media) and government is almost complete. Amazon, Google, media, and woke corporations have to be broken up and/or brought to heel. I'm not optimistic.

Agree. It's alarming.

The country is already unrecognizable from 5 years ago.

Coastal cities and states destroyed (not that I’m crying about it, but NYC is definitely nowhere near the greatest city on earth now, and Cali is a total shithole).

Hundreds of thousands (100,000s) of business shutdown.

Even the internet is unrecognizable from 5 years ago.

Racism of all kinds through the roof. Anti white racism now completely normalized, even blatantly, in writing or video, in public, and institutionally. I’ve never seen the US more divided.

Multiple autonomous zones, and (multiple?) permanent rioting and no go zones. Media ignores on purpose. A trial of an overdosing criminal needs the heaviest security I’ve ever seen for a trial.

How many cities are still boarded up from looting, and then from not bothering to remove the boards from being shut down over CCP plague and fear of more looting?

The fake news media is 100% enemy of the people #1, no doubt. They lie and deceive and manipulate people, and lead them off a cliff or to the slaughter. None of this would be happening if our media wasn’t 100% corrupt and working to destroy us and the US right before our eyes, and with our own help, weaponizing the ignorant against their own country. Clear as day that they’re outright fake propaganda. Nonstop lies about everything.

Corporations working with government in broad daylight. Outright fascism. Latest example is over the part in Georgias new election law relating to voter ID. Not only are major corporations boycotting a state over a perfectly sensible law that over a dozen other states already have, but the current federal regime tells them to boycott the state and voiced support for the corporations! Wtf!

Cancel culture is so toxic and guaranteed, that basic communication itself has been destroyed to some extent.

Two major American political factions have their own definitions for the same word, have their own narratives around the same events. Two realities, one country. Basic example: Charlottesville.

... ?

How is this America already?

Cancel culture is a blight on humanity. There needs to be legislative protections. God I hope we take back the house and senate in 2022 specifically to legislate against cancel culture.
