People say that America is never going to be what it once was. They see the socialist winning in the end because all the younger generation is being brainwashed and will in the end, wind up screwing America into the ground with socialism or communism.
Most of my friends are 60 years old and up. They knew America when America was not cut down the middle by hate and dispute. Most say the 1960s destroyed what America was and that ever since, it has been down hill. When people see no hope for the future, they don't go vote. When people see free stuff and a free ride, IE, free health care, free college, free money, who do you think they will vote for? This is the stuff I am hearing. They see Sodom on the Potomac is all for their selves and screw the citizens. They have seen this for decades now. These are folks who have worked all their lives, many since they were teens, served in the military, got out, married, had families, a job, and now in their very golden years, see no hope for this nation. I hear this at church every Sunday. Most don't even want to talk about it anymore because they really, in the end, see no change. Once Trump is gone, the dims win, and it all goes back to the way it was. Trump is just a positive couple of years in a decades long crap fest out of Sodom.
They love Trump, but see him by his self and against the world. They full expect that if the Dims get the House this November, the next two years will be full of the Dims trying to impeach Trump and nothing gets done in Sodom. Then if Trump loses in 2020, they see that everything he did, will be undone. They see the embassy in Jerusalem moved back to where it was before, etc. Everything Trump did good, will go back to where Obama had screwed it all up.
These are people in my age group that worked all their lives and have seen the nation they built, being dismantled piece by piece, and the end in sight. I know it is sad to hear and think about. But, a lot of people truly see America on its very last, best days. There are very, very, very few Donald Trumps in positions to battle these commies. Most of the RINO party have joined the commies. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They are one and the same.
no offense, but screw those selfish old folks you know who don’t seem to give a lick about their kids or grandkids’ future.
Agree with everything you shared. It’s exactly how my DH and I see it, feel about it. There is no turning back to what America once was. The division is so deep now, and yes, the younger generations deeply indoctrinated with less love for America and more love for socialism. Just look at how well Bernie Sanders did in 2016. He was drawing crowds every bit as big as Donald Trump did. It was a eye-opener for me. He literally did have the nomination stolen from him by the Clinton wing of the party. I don’t mean to be a downer but we have to be realistic and honest with ourselves about what is happening.
And YES! I do KNOW HIM! (...since Oct. 24, 1985!)
What a depressing and, I think, accurate post. However, since so many in the Us want to turn the country into a banana republic, all should reflect on a characteristic of such countries - death squads, right and left. We are approaching the point where solutions cannot be achieved through the ballot box anymore.
Well said, and sadly true.
I’m 65, and I feel nothing like your defeatist church friends. As far as I’m concerned, they can go to hell, because they’re part of the problem.
This is a mis conception. What is causing socialism is a global economic system set up after WWII designed to impoverish the American worker by opening up the US consumer market to the world and closing their markets to US exports. The is leading to economic/social instability of our working class who can see the unfairness of it all.
They would rather take care of themselves and their families but if they are going to pay the income tax, which is evil, then they want something back. Can you blame them?
Ironically the biggest supporters of this global F job are the Republicans and not the Democrats. You cannot place US workers in direct competition with 3rd world peasants without huge social/economic ramifications. That is why we need a tariff.
That has nothing to do with not wanting to fight on or rolling over and giving up. I and those around me will fight on, until the end - not only for ourselves but for our kids, grandkids, and generations yet to come. But the odds are increasingly stacked against us by the generations long wiles of the enemy and the foolishness of our "friends", especially those in our effete political, legal, and educational classes.
Our national decline started with the Supreme Court decisions of 1962-63 which drove God out of the public squares and out of the schools. We acquiesced to that demonic plot. Now the putrid results have slowly seeped deep and wide into our culture and national character. For the past generation or two the Left has pretty much taken over the education and indoctrination of our kids while the bad culture has increasingly polluted nearly everything else.
Without a massive spiritual revival and a miraculous national regeneration of our Founding documents and vision, the game is likely over. The USA will maybe survive in some reduced form, but once Trump is gone the precipitous decline will begin again and an awful end to freedom, liberty, and the American Dream will shortly arrive.
The relatively Godly society of 70 years ago has become the full-on Gimmee society with the most ignorant (and young) among us enthusiastically embracing socialism and tyranny in droves. Additionally, we have let in hordes of both legal immigrants and illegal aliens many if not most of whom embrace all but our Constitutional values. ("Diversity Is Our Strength!", which is total bullsh!t) It has all been part of the destructive Plan.
It's not game over yet, but it is the last half of the 9th inning. This is our last chance. Thank God we at least have a real fighting General in Donald Trump. But we must return to our national motto, "In God We Trust".
