I think we are headed for a reboot in this century. We may parallel Rome and the Byzantines. Communism will fail and go broke because it has no ideology to believe in. Islam does and is crouching and waiting. Has Christianity faded too far to face Islam? Will we become like the Klingons? I see Feudalism and Holy War approaching.

[OneViewpoint]

Yes, here we are again for the 5th time.

1st - The founding when we caved to the blackmail of the slave states.

2nd - The Civil War where we had to force our will on the slave states via war.

3rd - The Robber Barons seizure of the country (Oligarchs) broken by the New Deal.

4th - The Jim Crow era 1865 - 1965 broken by the Civil Rights Movement.

5th - The Jim Crow racists team up with a new generation of Oligarchs to corrupt the government and destroy the middle class to pull off the greatest wealth heist in human history.

In my opinion we are back to another crossroad. We are the Divided States Of America. On one hand are those of us who believe in the Constitution and a United States Of America. One the other hand are the racist MAGA filth and White Nazis who want a White Christian Homeland and male patriarchy restored under Authoritarian rule. And behind it all is a tiny class of Oligarchs who want government neutered to the point the people and their votes become meaningless so the wealth of a nation can be looted. How does this end in anything other than another civil war or the death of the United States?

[Dargil]

Sounds like you were paying attention in class.

[Dargil]

And an an answer:
Economic and social collapse.
Anarchy and chaos.
Population declines by 50%
Emergence of prospective absolute rulers---Kings. Lots of assassinations.
Emergence of sometimes warring feudal city states with industrial/agricultural "realms".
We will never unify as a nation again. We will stay Balkanized
Holy wars between our city states and Islam will occur.
I'm not finished, I think.

[Dongie]

Are you bragging about your party? 😂

[Dargil]

@Dongie Hardly bragging. Prophesy.

[Dongie]

@OneViewpoint

Your remarks are about the history of demcrats.

[OneViewpoint]

@Dongie ,

Your remarks are all lies.

[Dargil]

Not mine. They are predictions for the long term.

[OneViewpoint]

Thanks. I try. As a former US Army officer I got to watch this story unfold all over the globe for 15 years.

[Dongie]

Well it's easy enough to find out you stupid dickhead. Research IT!!

[Dargil]

Lies are knowingly false statements. Exaggerations, hopes, goals and visions are not. That's what DJT's alleged lies are.

[Dongie]

😂 you are one mixed plate of greens!

[Dargil]

@Dongie Comes with age, I think (What?)

[Dongie]

I'm not talking about you, Dargil. I'm speaking of the self-appointed expert on the world's problems. Just another Trump hater.

[strateguy632]

It was waning due to bad demorat policy. And multi pronged woke attacks. But trump is undoing some of the damage.

On day 1 he shut the open border, he negotiated expelling some dangerous "refugees" and i am an extremist more than trump due to ATTORNEY GENERAL published, "any undocumented border crossing is a crime." Each of those must be included in "criminal immigrant expulsion" with no gifts!

I find it absurd that anti trump talk about "no democracy" now when even the irrelevant "popular vote democratically chose trump", as trump gained MASSIVELY even in new york state and new jersey too!

Congress is REPUBLICAN too! And division of powers means president can manage many things even without congress in contrast to several misleading anonymous answers here.

Anti trump shamelessly use lies. They have free speech to mislead you with hints so i reply to those anon cowards too.

[RageBabe]

No, Trump has been reelected. I can't bear to imagine what might have occurred if Kamala had been elected president.

[RageBabe]

@Dargil Thank you for the MHO!

[andreasderjuengere]

Your comparison to Rome or 'Byzantines' is actually far fetched.

A comparison to i. e. Aztec culture comes closer to what you have in mind.

''America'' received its death sentence when it surrendered to commerce and to idolizing 'symbols'.

The Hippie movement could have prevented it, but banks (in the hands of who, I wonder) had successfully placed enough bait to distract the unsuspecting masses.

Well deserved, I'd say. Not without having some pity for a nation that could have been lasting - and ''great''.

[WindAtMyBack]

Yes, and Trump ain't gonna make it great again. The US is in decline, and other countries are on the rise. Nothing is going to stop that. It's been repeated in history over and over again. The time of the US is waning. The US won't become a third world country, but their time at the top is coming to an end. It's inevitable.

[strateguy632]

Bs! even when biden n "democrat filth" as demorats called us, hurt america, we were still industry giant including product 2022 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 so we just need to make America great again.

[Dargil]

We will gradually fade like EU countries. Likr Japan. Like China is now. We become second fiddle to... India.

[Anonymous]

Yes and no. The United States has not been and industrial giant since the 70's. In that sense we've been declining ever since. We become a banking country. We ship jobs all over the world and let other countries do the heavy lifting now. And the money just flows back to us. So in that sense we are on the last stage of a empire. Where our country is rich and concentrated while the government is insolvent. Where the money is concentrated in a few corporations but the citizen largely poor. China has the potential to overtake us as a world leader. But the problem with China is it will always be wrestling with it's control of it's populace.

So the United will try to do what it's done for the past 5 decades. It will use it's influence to maintain it's standing in the world for as long as it can sustain it.

[Sunrising]

No, because it's USA and Friends !

Not USA on it's own !

[andreasderjuengere]

What ''friends'' do you speak of?

[Dargil]

@andreasderjuengere Stepping in: The entire EU and Canada. They are circling the drain. We can save Canada by absorbing it. Not one state but but several states and territories.

[Anonymous]

Yep, democracy has died and now Trump and Musk think they are dictators, trying to bypass congress and ignoring courts enforcing laws. We may never get it back.

[Anonymous]

It was. Now we have one last chance to save it.

[Anonymous]

Trump is fixing absolutely everything.
It’s only been a couple weeks.


Sheesh.


MAGA!!!

[Anonymous]

Probably yes, maybe not yet, but in due course.

[exitseven]

I think we are about to enter our new golden age

[Astarlessnightsky]

Since Trump took over the decline is obvious.

[RageBabe]

It's quite the opposite.

[northerngal]

Irreversible? No. But its in decline for sure.

[MemeSupreme]

yeah bc the country is so like young

[Dongie]

No, it's being repaired by the Don.

[Dargil]

Until the left regains power. Trump's election only postponed it.

[Dongie]

You know, I don't put up with those anonymous idiots that are to chickenshit to accept replies. They sit smugly by after making lying claims and have no feedback. They REALLY suck!

[FunkyMonkee]

Not anymore!!
