Pretty Americentric line of thought considering us dirty gaters have international "membership", but this also applies to the West in general.
Call it China or the Globalists -- 'and' is probably more appropriate, but there's been a deliberate decades long attack on our educational institutions, our government, our economy, the Christian religion, our borders, Communist infiltration of key positions in government and industry, etc. etc. etc.
And it's been so effective, I just don't see a reversal of course. Even if the moderate collective pulled the wool from their eyes and took action, we're still due for an economic implosion as the debt bubble eventually pops, and we'd have to deal with the indoctrinated masses who would violently resist being jacked out of the Matrix.
Personally, by this point I'm not even thinking about saving the republic, but rather what actions will need to be taken to build something better from its ruins.
The policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Lyndon Johnson have destroyed America.
Truly the three worst U.S. presidents due to the severity of the negative impact they had on the country.
Lincoln as well. Destroyed the notion that it's a union of sovereign states. Secession needs to always be available as an option to avoid political warfare.
I'm surprised brexit was allowed to happen (though I wonder if the "sudden appearance of a mutated strain of wuflu" isn't punishment for it), but probably only because the EU can go on denying it's a "united states of Europe", because it allowed something the USA didn't. But since it came about due to popular vote, it would have looked terribad if the EU had done anything about it ...
Ha! Someone doesn't remember the EU founding - voted against transforming the EEC trade body into the super-government of the EU? We'll just make you vote again, and again, and again until you give the correct answer.
That's the EU's preferred form of "democracy".
That's part of why I was so suspicious of the "Look, let's just have another Brexit referendum" crowd. It's a very EU way of basically discounting democracy. Hold fifty votes, pick the one that went your way, claim the support of "the people".
The EU just held a fireworks show over London. The UK is conquered and there is nothing that can be done about it.
To be honest, there was no possible way for Brexit to end any other way than peacefully. The entire European continent was purposely emasculated and rendered a permanent non-threat on the global scale militarily by the US after WWII. The only exception to this was France with their policy of "if any foreign power ever steps foot on our soil again, we are going to destroy the entire fucking world". But even then, France cucked out completely after de Gaulle's death. The military of virtually every Western European country was purposely designed to be absolutely incapable of direct offensive action without support from the US. This goes for every nation that subsequently joined NATO over the years as well.
The US was serious about permanently ending the possibility of war between European powers. As long as NATO exists, the European capacity for unilateral military action will be pretty much nonexistent. This is why I always laugh about the desire for some Europhiles to form a combined European military.
The South wanted to keep their slaves so they got what they deserved!
It's funny how progressives adopted the Confederate version of the war's origin story. During the war, every progressive in New York would have mistaken you for Johnny Reb and knocked your teeth in. The Nothern narrative was that the war started to save the union.
all democrats
Hoover gets a place on the Wall of Shame too, for creating the New Deal. The democrat's 1932 campaign platform is not what one would expect. FDR ran against New Deal policies before he could take credit for them.
JFK was a good democrat. . He tried to create an American currency and return the United States currency system back to what it was before the Federal Reserve was created . And he was assassinated.
While the media was trying to rabble-rouse over his being Catholic, which a lot of Americans probably didn't really give a duck about.
There's actually a long thread of suspicion towards catholics in American tradition. Some of it is based on the fact that the country was founded by English protestants, and England doesn't have a friendly history with the Papists. The rest of it is based on the structure of the Catholic Church, which essentially makes the Pope a global Emperor. It was a serious and important question for a long time - if the Pope supports one thing, and the electorate supports the opposite, which will be done?
