Is the country lost? It is a serious question. I have real concerns for the future of America given what we have been witnessing coming from the Democrats.
One has to be blind not to see that illegal immigration is a problem yet the Dems are resisting and fighting Trump who wants to shore up the border against people that would break our immigration laws.
What could be more basic than enforcing our existing immigration laws yet time and again illegal aliens that are caught committing crimes are released to continue their crime sprees against Legal immigrants and citizens alike.
It is estimated that Illegal immigration costs us all nearly $90 Billion per year. There is something like 300 people a day that die from drug overdoses and much of that junk comes across our borders.
There are Dems that would tear down all the walls and disband ICE but then what would happen?
What happens when the caravans keep coming?
What happens when Venezuela totally fails and hundreds of thousands if not millions of people spread out to surrounding countries and many with nothing to lose and everything to gain march their way to our border with nothing but the clothes on their backs?
Trump speaks of a humanitarian crisis and he is right about this. There are people dying and suffering on both sides of the border but so many Democrats think it is a joke. They think it is a game and Pelosi is winning because she has beaten Trump on this issue.
The Democrats seem so intent on running America into the ground to spite Trump that by the time they get back in power it might be too late to fix it.
I am at the point of frustration and a point in my life that I'm thinking why bother. Why not let the Dems take over and let them fundamentally change America, knock it off its pedestal and turn it into something it was never meant to be thus destroying it.
Of course they will blame Trump, he gets the blame for everything regardless but what has he really done in the past 2 years that has hurt America to the extent that the Lefty media tells us he has? We have low unemployment, an economy that is chugging along nicely, when was the last time we heard about a terrorist strike? Things are looking up but "they" tell us it is not.
Imagine if in 20 years America has been taken down a notch and our quality of life has been lowered due to bad policies etc etc. and we look back on this time and admit that Trump was right about so much including securing the border. Imagine if that happens in 20 years.
I just don't understand the extreme far Left posture that so many Dems are now taking and what it means for us all if one of them should get into power.

Is the country lost or do we still have a chance?
Yeah, I imagine Cape Cod is a hellhole just about now. What a stupid thread.
Look in the mirror. Republicans want to fundamentally transform America as well; into a white Christian nationalist theocracy.
The country isn't lost provided our system can last another 20 years so that the power can pass from the current dominant generation (baby boomers) to Millennials.
And America has always changed throughout history. Many conservative think that America should ALWAYS AND FOREVER be exactly what it was in 1955. 1955 was a very different world from 1895, just like today is very different from 1955. Stop being so fearful of the future. If people would just turn off Fox News maybe they'd stop being so paranoid about everything.
Would you like me to point to the thousands of claims that it would be lost the day Obama was sworn in?
