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.
No, and I don't want it too.
The second the constitution was interpreted to grant franchise to everyone without regard to civic duty (ie, when women were given the vote without considering that it is ALWAYS and RIGHTLY men that get drafted to fight), the country was done. If our leaders at the time had been worth spit they would have burned the constitution right there and come up with a new document that wouldn't have led to the same conclusion.
