I think everyone here is smart enough and knowledgeable enough to address my original post, moreover what I believe is that most (even like myself) don't want this to be the inevitable end to the US empire. We are all here (in the USA) for good reason. This country rocks, even with all of its shortcomings, it's truly one of the last bastions for freedom of human expression and capitalism. Now, it seems like our country is morphing into something else. I don't think most want to even begin to flirt with the idea that it could somehow be true. I'd love to be wrong even in my observations, but it's hard to cover the sight of the sun with merely an index finger.

This is not the end of the traditional, patriotic way of life in America.
This is Americans believing a crooked and corrupt mainstream media and political complex that tells them they need and must rely on both to survive.
The Internet gives every moron alive a platform to espouse their stupidity and make it seem credible. You know better, I know better, we all know better...stop believing that the country is in dire straights because Joy Behar, Ilman Omar, and Chelsea Handler say so.
America will survive the ineptness of the current political climate, it survived 8 years of Obama, it can survive 4 more years of the same shit. As for future generations, who cares? Piss poor lazy parenting has created a culture of participation trophies, 140 character attention spans, and soft weak snowflakes who will be ruled by the Chinese.
Fuck 'em...they voted for this liberal bullshit, they teach it in schools, and they're too lazy and stupid to foresee the consequences. The pendulum will swing the other way and when it does, the only hope is that it puts these mentally ill fucks back into their place (without remorse) for the next 50 years.
