“Our republic survived Carter, and other poor presidents and activist judges, and far worse, including the Great Depression and WW2, and recovered and flourished.”
Aren’t you getting the impression that it hasn’t survived any of this? People from those times wouldn’t even recognize this sham.
No, our country is still here, and it is still great. People from that time will not recognize the country because we have grown, have become better in some ways and worse in others. Yes, times have changed, and it is a new war, fighting a domestic enemy that doesn’t want America to be great. The people who fought those battles before us would not want us to waste their efforts and sacrifices, but to keep making America better.
America only dies if we let it. I am sure there were those who feared for America in those times too, and maybe it is that fear that drove them to take up the fight on behalf of our country and its future. I take up the fight because I refuse to let the miserable bastards win.
