Cultural “enrichment” has destroyed that notion. 35 years ago it might have been true in some type of form. After 9/11 there was a rebound for about a week. Bush then went back to cuck mode with illegal immigration and strong degree of force with the central State especially pertaining to Homeland Security/The Orwellian Patriot Act bull feces. Then started a “war” that replaced the Taliban with the Taliban and toppled a country that caused a schism in the ME that allowed a radical faction taking over (Still to this day).
What I am saying, any notion of what good the US has ever had is about over. We can”t even define correctly, mind you, what a women is in today's culture without getting doxxed or reprimanded by corporate overlords. Stick a fork in liberty, our minds/freedom belong to the Federal and corporate masters.

Sadly, I must agree with you. I fear that we are in an unstoppable decline. I had some hope Trump would reverse this. But it was not meant to be.
My old tagline on Free Republic was: “Why am I holding this lantern? I am looking for the next Reagan.”
Maybe I’ll go back to that one.
I try not to read screeds such as yours. They are just too depressing — because they are true.
