We are basically done as a country. The two sides have absolutely no common ground other than maybe agreeing that the afghanistan withdrawal was a colossal fuckup. And even then the dems/commies refuse to admit its all bidens fault.
The pomo's (and their predecessors the Freudians and before them the utopian revolutionists) won because the good guys were too busy making civilization happen to counter them. There is no way to turn around any major institution because between true believers and the overpaid and underqualified diversity headcounts the inertia against reform is impossible to overcome. The rot has spread too deeply and the only option left is amputation.
The promise of the next election is the thin barrier keeping serious blood from running in the streets. And with the shenanigans of the last one it is getting thinner every cycle.
The best case and also least likely scenario is balkanizatoin and a grudgingly peaceful secession.
If you are white, have a family, and live in a blue area your obligation is to move away, regardless of the cost. And even then make some contingency plans in case the cold civil war goes hot.
The left defeated the West by capturing education, media (including social media), and entertainment. We can turn all of those institutions around on them if we are willing to put in the extremely hard work of erecting alternative platforms and fighting big tech in court. But this is a generational battle, and demographics will ultimately seal our fate.
Is it not sufficient to merely build new institutions. We must gatekeep. We must keep all that is the left and leftism out, and all who follow it out, or no amount of rebuilding will matter.
You can never fix your house, if you refuse to get rid of the termites.
Courts are pozzed bro.
Not in my lifetime.
Pretty much. We're at the point where the left and right now fundamentally do not percieve reality in the same way. That's an untenable situation. You can't have long term stability in an environment where even absolute basic facts are bitterly contested partisan battlegrounds.
I don't see the USA surviving the century in its current form.
A century? Try a decade.
At the rate things are going, lasting 5 years will be tough.
It won't ever happen. Parasites do not let go of a host willingly. They have to be cut out, burned off, excised.
Those terms are acceptable. Let's do it and let them fire the first shot.
Unfortunately, they rely on spending your tax dollars. They've got almost no incentive for a peaceful resolution to this.
The headline is "No shit Sherlock" levels of obvious, but I found this bit interesting:
So conservative trust in the media dropped slowly but steadily during the Trump era, but then Biden took office and there was massive drop very quickly. It must be the complete 180 the media's coverage took of the presidency the minute Biden took office.
You'll notice many lefty talking heads are no longer going on about "The Trump Vaccine", including Kamala.

Archive these yourself, I have fajitas on the stove that are ready.
If you lie for a living it shouldn’t be far fetched that people catch on and stop believing you. All journalists are propagandists promoting fear for money.
Truly its a mystery.
And of course, they blame trump.
This username dates back to at least ~2009 or so. It's got nothing to do with the religious skeptic community - it's blunt, it's literally 'I am skeptical of the republican party', and this was back during the far-too-brief tea party days. Looking back now, those really were more innocent times, but folks were noticing. Identifying progressivism for what it really was, and solidifying the battle lines that now defines the establishment GOP versus the upstarts in very clear terms.
It's too bad the movement was co-opted by the insiders so quickly, but at the same time - the problem with our country is so severe that maybe there really wasn't any other way for people to wake up then for something like Biden and what he's done - and will keep doing. Because it's not over.
This was always going to be nothing other than a prolonged siege. It took us a long time to dig this hole, it's going to take a comparable effort to climb out of it.
