When we elected a reality tv star and failed businessman to the presidency. Actually, it was after that when it became apparent his followers wouldn’t question anything he did and started stacking conspiracy theory on top of conspiracy theory to excuse every awful thing he is involved in.

Are the End Times Near? by David Solway (American Thinker)
quote:
Feminism was no doubt a critical issue, a socially destructive and culturally malignant phenomenon, but only one of many indices of something of far greater import: the approaching disintegration of Western civilization.
Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of The West, published 1918-1922, laid out the trajectory of the enfeeblement and decay that awaited us, developing a theme that went as far back as the Greek historian Polybius, but that, in the wake of a war that wiped out a generation, seemed less a “theme” than an historically imminent reality. The greatest poet of the modern age, William Butler Yeats, felt it in his bones, working out a visionary schematism in his prose volume A Vision and reflecting on the inevitable in his timeless poem “The Second Coming,” written one year after the end of the Great War: “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last/Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?” Robert Bork’s must-read Slouching Towards Gomorrah hammers out Yeats’s vision in lurid contemporary detail, pointing toward a “syndrome” of collectivist attitudes dominating the culture, the debilitation of the family structure, and a “left-liberal moral consensus” diluting the text of the U.S. Constitution.
In his master volume On the Eve of the Millennium: The Future of Democracy in an Age of Unreason, published in 1995, Irish historian Conor Cruise O’Brien was not sanguine about the prospects for Western civilization in the coming years. Civilizations have term dates and ours is fast approaching, O’Brien felt. He quotes French historian Jules Michelet’s History of France, who speaks there of “this vast concert of naïve and barbarous voices” with its “strange accents [and] fantastic and bizarre harmony,” signaling the end of a customary world. The dissolution is abetted by common lassitude, self-indulgence and studied ignorance, by those, O’Brien writes, “who are indifferent to politics, religion, virtually anything.” We watch “history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation,” almost, we might say, as if we do not believe that history can happen here.
Arnold Toynbee in his twelve-volume A Study of History, among my prize collections, articulated a theory of recurrence -- owing in part to The New Science of the 18th Century Italian political philosopher Giambattista Vico -- in which he saw patterns or cycles of growth and decay common to all civilizations, of which he isolated more than twenty-six exemplars. Though maintaining a guarded optimism that correlation is not infallibly causation and that Western Civilization might survive an otherwise inevitable debacle, he posited that once psychological devastation had gone too far, recovery would be impossible. Perhaps it was from reading Toynbee that O’Brien speculated about the onset of apathy and indifference leading to civilizational collapse. He believed we were already there.
quote:
Though I disagree emphatically with anti-Trumper Jonah Goldberg on many issues, his Suicide of the West remains a valuable book, confirming O’Brien’s thesis. Goldberg writes that the “corruption of the Miracle of Western Civilization…can only succeed when we willfully and ungratefully turn our backs on the principles that brought us out of the muck of human history in the first place.” The trouble is that “for more than a generation now, the best principles of the West have been under assault. Intellectuals are recasting the virtues of our system as vices.” Goldberg borrows his title from James Burnham’s magisterial 1964 Suicide of the West, in which Burnham writes of a “morphological pattern,” an unmistakable trend or curve. “Over the past two generations Western civilization has been in a period of very rapid decline, recession or ebb within the world power structure.” What we call liberalism is “the ideology of Western suicide,” permitting Western Civilization “to be reconciled to its dissolution.” Although he holds out hope for a transition to a higher order above the parochial divisions of the past, which seems touchingly romantic, his analysis of the liberal virus has rarely been bettered.

You’re so fricking ignorant. Trump elected was probably the last gasp of true American democracy, a true outsider raised about a decades long swamp rat. You stupid fricking idiot.

When John Roberts rewrote Obamacare.
We can meme/troll and say "This isn't 'Nam. There are rules." But the reality is that when a judge knowingly reads the rules, and then rules in favor of things against what the rules stated, we have a serious problem.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's actions in the 2020 Election are just a symptom of that problem. Same goes for Georgia's election process. Michigan's review process that forced people to sign off under oath something they would not. Nevada's and Arizona's inability to clear their voter roles and ensure the quality of the election process.
Wisconsin was the only place to at least call it right, too bad their answer was "Sorry we didn't get to a time-sensitive issue soon enough. There's some clear bullshite here."

You're about an idiot...Trump's victory was the beginning of the end to our America as we knew it! Why? Because so many so-called Americans fought him from day one. They prayed for his failure and to me, that's shame.
When the worst black president in our history was elected I thought maybe he would become the greatest president in history, but boy was I wrong. He divided this country in many ways and that's where it began. Hell, his wife even admitted that for the first time in her life, she was proud to be an American. Really? So for some 40 something years of living, you were proud for 8 of them. Well if this country is that bad, how come your sissy-assed husband, who by the way is half white, got elected you dumb-arse! Why didn't you just go to another country?
And now, it isn't divided by race...it's divided by political views and parties. Rest assured a battle is coming...and it won't be pretty! MAGA!

I wish I could fail at business and be worth a couple billion dollars. You must be worth $50 billion with that kind of retarded logic.

The country was mortally wounded in 1861 with the loss of state rights. The death blow was delivered in 1913 when debt slavery was instituted.
