The only gold in this age is from the waning light of America's best years

Kind of like the extremely senior citizen at our helm.
We will lose our advantage in science. We will lose the brightest minds. We will further plunge our people into ignorance. We will see the return of diseases and maladies long since eradicated. We will descend into bigotry and nationalism and everything that was special about this country will be lost. The Golden Sunset Years of the American Empire. |

I think this is why so many whites are suffering, and pissing off POC. I was, too. But, I get it now. They’ve lived with this forever. I heard a psychic say there’s going to be a lot of death because many souls don’t like this timeline. It really gave me pause. I decided to choose this timeline for myself. I’m 52 and we don’t know what the future holds. But, I want to see it through. I trust some good will come out of it and I think I’m young enough to see that happen. (Though, admittedly, when I’m down I realize it was a long time between the gilded age and the New Deal.) |

Ah yes the golden age where large portions of the population couldn’t freely work, vote or live wherever they pleased. And time period when Bobby Kennedy, jfk, and MLK jr were murdered. |

Yep the US is done. Everything this country fought - colonial England,slavery, Nazis, Imperial Japan and the Soviet Union has won.
I just do not understand why MAGA and Trump want to keep the country together. They just hate the constitution and democracy. |

Trump wants money and power, and petty revenge. The people backing him her whatever they want, whether it’s heritage foundation or tech oligarchs. The MAGAs are just the useful tools that got them there. They will be discarded soon. |

Oh, and they can’t let the country split because they rely on the outrage of the right. Can’t have that without blue states to hate and also to fund the entire operation. |

It depends on how you define great. Great for some, but not so great for others. |

The only good thing about the 60’s was the music. It was a period of complete turmoil of internal and external fighting. A true clusterf0ck. |

Dont forget Malcom, Medgar, Chaney, Goodman, Schwerner, Hampton, and the four little girls at the 16th Street Baptist church. The bloody 60’s, it was a tumultuous time of many in this country’s short life. |

The Who Shot JFK podcast said that after JFK’s assassination not many people questioned the Warren Report. It seems crazy because the one bullet theory is ridiculous. But it took a couple of years before even journalists started to question it. Their premise is that it was the start of decline of public trust and has only eroded since then. I guess Trump was meant to blow it all up, so we can start again. |
