How did a country that for much of its history exhibited a (sometimes naive) willingness to ignore obstacles and plunge forward become a society that struggles to turn its gaze away from the dangers that loom just ahead? In short, how did the United States become so pessimistic?

When we realized:

The MSM whored for Democrats... and were proud of it. ZERO concern about right or wrong - just what letter was beside a person's name. Two standards - one that always was biased against us. One that favored liberal elites.

Election rigging considered 'cool' by democrats. No outrage about voter fraud. (Their team cheated so it was OK)

Conservatives boycotted by Hollywood. 'Entertainment - such as it was - was only for liberals - and often at our expense.

Conservatives painted as 'extremists' by democrats and their creepy totalitarians thugs. The MSM - with ZERO proof jumped on it with glee.

Union goons portrayed as heroes.

Stories of Bill Clinton raping a woman bringing laughter from liberal elites - it's 'just sex' - hahaha...

All types of abuse of the powerless by democrats treated as a joke.

Teachers who can't teach retained because they're unions had an 'in' with democrats elites. Schools used to push liberal values - as offensive as it would be if they were pushing conservative values.

Awareness that many minorities didn't come here 'yearning to be free' but to milk the system - and it was OK with liberal elites - because those wanting to rip off the system voted for democrats and helped propped up a corrupt system.

When one day conservatives knew this wasn't the country we had loved and our strongest desire toward the place was to live someplace else.

Just about the time the results started looking a little bleak for the removal of the Current Regime by peaceful means?

Nah, just another isolated and unrelated conincidence. Ya just gotta go through the blues sometimes, ya know?

Yep.

So far I've been able to document ~70,000 people laid off or notified since then.

Passage of Obamacare did it for me, along with Justice Robert’s decision.

I think it fundamentally changed the nation forever.
