Everything held together decently well until around 2008. After that, it seemed like everything was a death spiral from there.

The whole "Politically Correct/PC Police" and "Social Justice Warrior" movements became obnoxious during the Obama era. Censorship and social engineering was running rampant. The race card became the norm when opposing leftist policies. Identifty politics was a weapon often used. This is around the time my family split due to political differences. Holiday and family vacations seized during this time. Socialism became the dreaded and heated topic in the US. My father lost his job and was unemployed for 6 months during this time, causing immense fear of losing everything. This is the time when my immediate family fell apart. This was a terrible time.

The Trump era became a glimpse of hope and some normalcy began to return, but the biased and aggressive media was mercilessly attacking Trump at every angle. Meanwhile the economy was looking more optimistic and the social atmosphere was beginning to improve, then the COVID era struck during Trump's last year in office, placing the nation in a near standstill.

Then, the terror resumed under the Biden Administration and we saw a return of the Obama era disasters that plagued this nation once again.

I don't believe Trump quite fixed the extensive damage under Obama, but there were improvements that brought about hope. I don't know if the US will return to pre-Obama normalcy, but this death spiral needs to stop and fast before we are in an all-out civil war.
