I don't pretend to know how it will play out in the long run but there is no doubt whatsoever that for us citizens who are in middle age and older the country we grew up in and love is gone.
Absolutely. And we were cowards to not address the problems when we saw them. We allowed ourselves to become distracted with minstrel shows and titillating propaganda.

I do agree with this one particular sentence. The Vietnam war and civil rights era was pretty hot at the time.
The one difference is we didn't have the 24/7 news and social media back then for whatever that's worth

There isn't a food problem in America
Don't get me wrong, I"m not saying we're doomed, I'm saying that we're doing pretty good, we just have to be vigilant and avoid the extremes.
But actually, there is a food problem here. The problem is a combination of education, our healthcare delivery systems and our entitlement programs. I don't see it as insurmountable, however.

Wow. Sounds like you don’t have a lot of faith in America
I love our country and it’s strength. I’ve always maintained that it will endure potentially harmful political movements
Will endure. It can even survive the overwhelming Trump negativism

Maybe y’all just need re-education in the camps.
(Right wingers have been describing these camps here on the Poli Board for a few years.)

That's next.
First I have to finish up concentrating some wealth so I can afford to teach.

They're coming. Go ask Californians if parents should be allowed to teach their children that only biological women are women.
There will be some really disturbing policies created in the next decade.

I still believe in what America is supposed to stand for. But I have no faith in the people of America. I think what a lot of us are saying is that America as it was is gone and the liberals will never allow America to be what it was again, a moral country based on the constitution.
I don't see how America survives the coming onslaught from the left. I hope I'm wrong.

You'll be fine so long as you don't buy into the idea that you have a right to work a government job only 3/4ths of a year.
I have to work year round so teachers can too.
Just looked it up, average public school teacher in Louisiana makes about 50k a year. So if two teachers marry eachother that's 100k for working 3/4ths a year plus all the benefits.

The reactions from the left are what’s negative. The left’s beloved identity politics are what’s negative. The >90% negative media coverage is what’s...well, negative.
The idea of putting your own country first, more jobs, protection, and lower taxes are not inherently negative at all. If you think that’s negative, maybe you’re just miserable.

I wasn’t even referring to those times. I was referring to the 1800s—not the Civil War. The daily papers and other press were rife with hostility.
The country has always had extreme division. It’s natural for two sides to pull against one another. It’s only visible now because media is everywhere.

I do too, but you clearly stated one was better than the other.
We are nowhere near a "middle ground" unless you think we're somewhere on the path from USSR to Venezuela.
the AMERICAN 'middle ground' was washed away with the LBJ admin - and we've only had a couple of pit stops since.

So you'd be against hordes of generally lower IQ immigrants rushing across our border, then?
Of course.
But my solutions to economic problems are economic, not physical. Look at the Iron Curtain/Berlin Wall. Those solutions didn't work, economics won the day.
This false dilemma of, if you're against the wall, you're for massive illegal immigration is not getting us anywhere.

What's the median?
In any case, I don't think I'll be taking pay in the public system, I'm thinking more of volunteering in an adult literacy program type of teaching. Kind of following in Mom's footsteps.

I'd rather look at Israel's wall. The Berlin wall is a bad example as you literally had buildings right off the wall on each side. I dont imagine a wall could split a city effectively. Thankfully there is a lot of open space at our border.

It’s not complete yet. IF we lose our guns then it’s over that is why they are pushing so hard on that.

Not sure but it's not going to be dramatically different because you wont have a handful of teachers making a million dollars to throw off the average.

Just trying to correct the idea that all these different and common professions are in poverty in our system.

Yes, redistribution of wealth is preferable to concentration of wealth, but I don't see communism as a distribution of wealth as much as a distribution of poverty. You have to produce wealth in order to distribute it.
Besides which, the so-called "communist" systems that we've seen fail have ultimately concentrated wealth in the elite ruling class, and have not really been communist at all.
