America’s Future?

[Fredkrueger100]

First of all, the sky is not falling. This country has not been on the brink of civil war since the spring of 1861. Coincidently, that conflict was over the plight of black people in America. Black people are much better off in America now than they were in 1861, particularly in the South. Even the BLM has to acknowledge that fact.

The Sixties were easily more turbulent than the current decade. Cities burned and looting was often out of control, colleges were in turmoil, an unpopular war in Viet Nam exacerbated racial tensions, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were assassinated, the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968 turned into a riot, there were Klan-involved lynchings and killings throughout the South, the Civil Rights and Black Power movements gained momentum--in short, the Sixties were far more turbulent than what we're seeing now. Somehow we survived.

The last great economic collapse in this country was in 1929. Sure, there have been recessions since than, and the CO-VID 19 pandemic has hurt the economy. But the economy is rebounding, and the outlook for the near future looks quite good considering all the gloom that accompanied the pandemic.

Socialism, Anarchy, and Communism all have a hold on the younger generation, which lacks the historical perspective necessary to see through the hucksters and the small-minded hobgoblins they peddle. In time, though, when they have car payments and mortgages and kids, they'll forget about the silliness that so enraptures them today. The future is not as gloomy as some appear to think.

The civil war was NOT about the plight of black people. That’s what the schools try and teach everyone. Gee I wonder why? Things haven’t been this bad since the civil war. We are witnessing things never seen in this country. We are up against a very powerful and organized enemy hellbent on destroying this nation. They will do anything to accomplish that. They are using the media, Hollywood, music, sports, internet, video games, and schools to tear this country apart. Why do you think they want us divided so bad? The more divided we are the weaker we are. This country is in far dire straits than uou want to admit.

You can study history, or you can spout off about things you know nothing about. Makes no difference....

Situation #4. No war, but a break up into a confederation of autonomous states.

Wow, some of y'all REAL intense.... and REAL pessimistic....

Reading history is an exercise in pessimism. Understanding it is optional, which is where the troubles always lie.

What I know about the Civil War and slavery is that most of the Rebels were barefooted conscripts who didn’t own slaves.

Way too many, worrying way too much. You are letting the actions of a few, enhanced by a media looking for a market, lead you to believe that the end is near. You have let your fantasies of getting to shoot your guns, and use your prep supplies override your intelligence.

The vast majority of US citizens are great, resourceful people who have a long history of overcoming difficulties and accomplishing great things.

Keep your chin up, keep calm, carry on ( and often ), and try smiling every once in a while.

But, but, but, you left off number 5. The Yellowstone super volcano. It will cure the world's problems.
Do you think it will happen before November 3rd?

Well, you’re right, at this point in the juncture.

But if Roberts sides with the left in the next 2A legal ruling, he may reinterpret the 2A.

Then we as an unarmed population will be at the mercy of lawlessness.

Just glad i live in Oklahoma and don't have the arsonists and looters in my neighborhood.A good friend of mine is a fireman in Minneapolis.He has a 3 month old son but fears for his safety to the point he wished he had never been born.He works for 48 hours at a time and said when he comes home there is usually more neighborhoods closer to his house that are trashed.He has moved his family to a small cabin in the woods because he feels like his home and belongings won't be there much longer.He told me last night it would be worth it to have 2 or 3 weeks of the Purge just to get it out of every ones system.

Texas may go back to being a republic again and I hope they annex us as their norther province. We might hate each other Oklahoma and Texas, but they are closer to kin than Commiefornia or New York.
