People need to be realistic. We’ve been a poorer nation than we’ve pretended to be for a long, long time.
Like look at modern public buildings, not built to last, not like old stone and brick courthouses from the last century and the like. They’re just made with the same cheap materials as everything else.
The decline started with Nixon, got kicked up a gear by Reagan, but the first real crack in the armor was George W. Bush and his middle east boondoggles in Afghanistan and Iraq. After that the world was willing to look at it as somewhat of an erroneous event and expected cooler heads and serious people to prevail.
Now that instead of serious people prevailing, we’ve been spinning down the drain, and that’s literally the plan. The wholesale dismantling of US democracy was crowed from the rooftops as Project 2025.
The serious people in other countries aren’t going to be fooled again.
To quote George W. Bush “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, sh–, uhhh, you can’t fool me again.”
Because it unequivocally is in decline?
