Maybe that's why pre-Colonial America and Pre-Columbian America to the extent you could call it a nation or civilization deserved to die.

If the socialists win it would likely be the end of the country as we know it.

If you look at places that turned socialist or communist like Cuba, Venezuela and many others if you speak to the people that lived there back in the day they would tell you the countries are totally different now .

The Democratic Party is turning into a socialist party let’s face it . Many hate capitalism but I believe it is more an ignorance and they likely don’t know what it would be like to live in a socialist country . They think it would just mean everything is the same but free or very cheap that’s not the reality .

If there are signs the country is going socialist you’ll see the wealthy moving their investments out of America very quickly . This would destroy the country financially .

Failure to adapt will cause any country to collapse.

It's a scary thought, and as much as we wanna say "God Bless America", all good things come to an end. Nothing is promised.


Some think an idiot president will destroy us, some think we'll be destroyed economically boy foreign powers. Left things right will destroy us, right thinks left will destroy us. The truth is we'll never know.

But do you think we're built to last as a country or were we just a prototype that started with a great idea but had flaws to keep going and we won't be the same country in the future?

My answer to that would be quite different than it would have been, just two years ago.

Adapting to people who are trying to make or causing a country to collapse as it was known will prevent the collapse? That makes sense. Not.

Then how can you stand living here ?

Isn't life too short to live in such a terrible place ?

The United States of America is the greatest country ever, on the planet.

I believe we are going to fail, in the next 50 years, because we all can't get along.

And it started with Rush Limbaugh.

He's smart, actually a genius, but he will be America's downfall.

Rush Limbaugh ushered in Trump, who was the first President of all time who tried on purpose to divide us. I really don't think there's ever been a US president who purposely divided us, for the glorification of himself.

I think the collapse was started in the 1960s.

I find it comical that Republican Trumpists are trying to portray Democrats as socialists. Look at the economy in the Western U.S. California is the 6th largest economy in the world. That is pure capitalism. Technology industry? Capitalism. Entertainment? Capitalism. Even renewable energy is pure capitalism. There are socialistic programs in this country such as education. Do Republican Trumpists want to end education? What about Medicare? Medicare recipients don't pay near the benefits they receive. That is pure socialism. Social Security is paid for by recipients much more than Medicare. Do they want to end Social Security?

How about we put tolls on all the roads? No more paying for roads we don't drive on. Why should cities pay for rural roads we don't use? And why should we only buy our produce from the U.S.? Let make farmers compete globally. If Costco can get fresh produce from South America cheaper, let's buy it from them. Make farmers in middle America compete - no more socialism!

Poser could be working a minimum wage job in L.A. or San Francisco, renting a closet in someone's house, and how, how, how can he even afford to even get a Passport and exit this poor-excuse-for-a-country?

The hope for the U.S. lies in splitting this country up into 3 or 4 parts, the sooner the better. Sheesh! California is the same size as Germany, Texas is much larger than France, and New York is how much bigger than England! Why have we waited so long for this to happen? Let's get started! Today!

The U.S. has been a 3rd world country for much of its history, and I see us returning to our roots!
