The Age of Decadence (For 30+ years America has been increasingly mired in this age )
Good we need the BIBLICAL REPUBLIC BACK!
Very interesting but
The emphasis on the imminent takeover by China sort of denies the whole premise of the article. China has been an empire for what a thousand years or more? Why haven’t they gone through the “six stages?”
Awhile back I read an article about the fall of the Roman Empire. The author listed all the usual reasons. Then he added one of his own.
The Roman Empire fell because the Romans couldn’t conceive of it falling. The Empire was all-powerful, and evidently eternal. Rome simply could not fall! Impossible! So there was no need to take any corrective action. Party on!
Too many Americans have that same mindset today.
The Age of Decadence is marked by debauchery, defensiveness, pessimism, materialism, a significant weakening of religion, frivolity, a welfare state, and a massive influx of unassimilated foreigners. These symptoms of national decadence are the end product of long periods of prosperity and power, love of wealth and status, and self-obsession by the ruling elites leading to fateful government corruption and instability.
Sounds about right.
Immigration killed us, as long as we were the Americans we could go through cycles and self-correct.
As time and history passed Americans would have remained fundamentally who we were while always correcting the cycles in politics, culture, Christian faith, and social norms, but now there is no America because there are no Americans, just a collection of people from all over the most non-American, non-European, non-Western places on earth.
In 1960 one could make predictions about future America because you knew who the population was, but today no one has any idea what America will be like in 30 or 50 years because we don’t even know who the exotic foreign population will be, except to know that they won’t be the people who created the nation, and in fact will be the most unAmerican-unWestern-like people possible.
Good article, thanks for posting.

After President Michelle Obama unilaterally disarms our nuclear deterrent I think the end will be rather quick. China and Russia could work together, and both do not believe a nuclear war cannot be won.
Russia moves on the baltic states after Ukraine, China on Taiwan after a dozen EMP weapons are lit off over Western Europe and the US, followed by a few of Russia’s Poseidon 200 megaton tsunami bombs on both coasts and Europe,
Doesn't this question pretty much answer itself? You can't win against vote fraud and manipulation. I guess this writer never heard the famous quote (usually attributed to Stalin, though there is doubt that he ever said it):
"Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."
Yes and can something be salvaged in it all? At one time I would have thought so but even the largest GOP states such as Texas are filled to the brim with liberals. How many generations until Texas is blue? The rot is already there. The same thing happened to former red states such as CO and VI. Florida is one happy exception.
+ indeed!
Rowe v Wade is older than 30.
