We have already seen the backlash beginning. Texas just had some elections, and in every race that progressives were running in, and anywhere that was pushing Critical Theory, saw them get absolutely smashed. 70/30 in favor of “our” side. And the Hispanic-heavy counties continued their move toward the anti-woke side. And while there are a lot of some young people, there are also a lot of anti-woke young people who are starting to fight back. And we see all the old institutions losing their power. Hollywood is dying. Celebrity culture is dying. The Dems are losing their hold and the Republicans are being taken over by the populist anti-wood types, whether they like it or not.
There will be pain. But rather than being depressed and saying it’s all over, we need to stand up and say “I have not yet begun to fight!”
When people compare us to the Roman Empire, I think a lot of people forget that Rome lasted WAY longer than its Republic period. Hell, I would argue Rome's Golden Age wasnt even until after the Republic fell.* And much like Rome, America seems to have this unnatural ability to survive events that have killed other nations, and come back stronger. And I truly believe we will do it again.
As I saw someone else on here put it, you dont get Reagan without Carter. Here is hoping that Carter in this context is Biden.
*/note: I am not saying that I believe America will become some global empire like Rome did. But the country may be changed for the better in response to the issues we currently have, like Rome before it.

Pretty much.
