Why is America such a falling empire, and what the hell are its political divisions?

In one of the Psalms it says that when a nation forgets God it perishes. Greed is out new God. The cabal of American billionaires will never have enough.

That is the opposite of America's problem. The last thing it needs is more supernatural. America has forgotten reality. They cant use their frontal lobe well. Descending into animals.

Different PP

People need to believe in something beyond man/woman. Otherwise they fall for anything and can never be committed to anything.

We are descending to animals. It is because we lack faith in God.

Be grateful now because you have choice to worship god or not. But one day that vacuum will be filled by a religion that doesn’t care about women or homosexuals.

Republicans are hate filled people.

Americans are hate filled people.

My MIL doesn’t even know a single Republican personally, but she speaks of them as the evil, ignorant monsters. She says she’ll never stoop low enough to speak to one.

Hate is everywhere and people have lost the ability to respect others with differing beliefs. They use hyperbole and stereotypes, sticking to the image of the monsters they’ve created.

But republicans voted for Trump, which certainly makes them evil, ignorant monsters. This isn’t a situation with two sides. I’d be happy to see republicans fighting against Trump, I just don’t see any. Feel free to post it.

Such an infantile take. This is the reason why the division grows. Emotionally and intellectually immature adults that are completely unaware of their ignorance. In fact they believe themselves to be the enlightened ones, when in fact they are what weighs a society down.

Yep. That’s how bad it’s getting. We are heading toward doom and the scariest part is MAGA is just cheering it on.

No and no. But enjoy your fear filled life.

I mean it is truly remarkable how bad it is to live in the USA yet so many people think it is still great to live here. Many Americans are ignorant how much the world has advanced becuae they've never left the country or probably haven't traveled more than 2 states away.

We have Americans taking Ubers to the ER instead od an ambulance because it is cheaper and they don't want to be saddled with debt. Meanwhile, in many parts of the world, having kid is virtually free at the hospital, an ambulance ride costs $20, and people go to the doctor on average 10 times a year for less than $100.

Public infrastructure in US is like 60 years behind at this point. Japan has had high speed rail that functions on time and has had zero fatalities in basically its entire existence. We went to Taiwan and took an hour long train ride. Total cost: $3 for TWO PEOPLE. Shenzen China? Makes US look like a third world bbehind by decades. So many roads and other areas of the country look like the 2nd world. I mean just drive around parts of Baltimore to vast swaths of the country in smaller towns. Everything is so run down and dilapidated. Look at how many water crises the US has from Jackson, MS to Flint, MI. The US is garbage for infrastructure.

Then there is the crime and violence. Non stop shootings and murder. So much out of control drug use from presciption opioids, to weed, to booze, to shoots. Garbage education. Crippling debt laden higher education. Far less healthier people who are fatter than most in the world.

But thank god the US dumps trillions of dollars on state of the art killing machines to bomb goat herders for 25 years in Afghanistan.

Travel the world more. Developed countries have blown thr US out of the water for the last 30 years. The US stopped developing in like the late 1960s and is more like a 2nd world country. We are honestly closer to countries like Brazil and Honduras than we are to advanced first world countries. The only thing that keeps us here are elderly parents....which of course in the good old USA are impossible to care for because there is zero affordable long term care here due to the craptastic healthcare system.

You just proved my point.

Without talking to anybody, you simply assigned labels: evil, ignorant, monster.

That’s just as hateful. Perhaps you don’t see it, but those of us who moderately sit in the middle see this behavior from progressives and Trumpers.

When you resort to name calling, you’re part of the problem whether you accept it or not.

Actually it’s you that has proven my point. You see fascists, racists, Christian nationalists, history revisionists, and criminals and say that we are wrong because we aren’t going to treat those scumbags and traitors with respect?

This isn’t a high road, you know, it’s just stupid and unAmerican. You are embarrassing our forefathers and all that have fought for this country.

All valid points.

Giving the traitors one inch at this point is just giving up more ground to the far right extremists, and we’ve already been dragged so far right that it will take a decade to correct back even towards the middle.

USA is now a country where scientific researchers can't even use the word "women" in grant applications because it is blacklisted due to "anti-DEI". I mean it is just mind warping the US now lives under what it is a North Korean style regime who wants complete control over words like "women" in scientific research....as if there aren't two sexes in human biology.

The democrat party installed a cadaver as president and then ran the US through unelected savage communists like Anita Dunn, Ron Klain and Lisa Monaco.

That's why.

Urban -rural divide, no single race or ethnicity, multiple languages, no common religion, etc..

We had federalism to try and keep it all together, but then we abandoned that too.

So now nothing but inertia keeps it together.

Like literally every empire that collapsed in history, the underlying issue is state debt.

Also, you can’t export your manufacturing base entirely and expect to remain dominant.

This. Empires collapse. It's what they do. Buckle up.

Reading your post is sobering because I agree with it - It's pretty ridiculous to think that we have become what we are - lack of infrastructure, affordable health care, education system that is lagging...not to mentioned the addiction issues. What a video filmed in Kensington, Philadelphia area. It's truly awful. Our focus just seems to be on the wrong things and there's such a lack of a clear vision - we just whipsaw from left to right and back again.

I like Trump's policies and his common sense.

What do you want me to do?
