My greatest concern is the absolute ignorance of the majority of Americans many being blindly led by their misinformation sources.

Good thing you're in Australia and don't have to worry about "President Kamala" or the Dems, huh?

Absolutely. Other posters have similar concerns.

As for the increasing divide among Americans, I'm also concerned about the increasing incivility, crassness, and anger we see in anything having to do with politics. It's a reflection of the growing divide, which too many people choose to pull into a public social environment.

A person I'm connected with on LinkedIn just posted this picture she took recently somewhere in North Dakota. If you can't read the flag on that truck, it reads, "Fu*% Biden."

If you hate Biden, okay. If you think he's the worst president we've ever had, fine. If, with family and friends, you yell "Fu*$ Biden!" that's totally acceptable.

But to drive around with this obnoxious public display? I'd like to know in what other advanced country we'd see something like this. In what other advanced country are citizens so controlled by their politics?

So what are your three greatest concerns for the future of the U.S. right now?-image_1323a097-025b-4dc5-81c3-b3d2cb586f3a20210710_150217.jpg

Because since then, the Left is doing many things even worse than that. Illegal border-crashing has fallen to 4th or 5th in people's concerns for the country.

Half this country hates the president and will celebrate in the streets the day he dies, regardless of how it happens.

That flag is perfectly fine. Even better is the version of this flag that has has smaller text on the bottom that says “and f*** you for voting for him”

You know what’s an obnoxious public display? Going to the olympics and disrespecting your own countries flag.

You sound like a miserable, immature individual. I can't stand Trump, but I'd never wish him ill will or "celebrate" his death, "regardless of how it happens."

But your post is a perfect example of the growing incivility I'm talking about. Thank you.

We shouldn't be the least bit surprised by what many people claim is a growing disrespect and incivility among young people toward their elders. If younger people ARE becoming more disrespectful, it's no wonder.

What three things do you most fear for the future of the U.S.?


NOTE: I do not intend to debate anyone about my answers or theirs. However, of course, you are free to elaborate on your choices.
First, the dictatorship that is happening before our eyes and an already bought and paid for judicial system that refuses to hear the cases.

Second, the borders being wide open because this is just inviting dangerous terrorists to come in, as well as the hacking of our computer systems.

Third, the USA is going to see war on it's own soil, either via a civil war breaking out or outside from either the CCP or Russia.

That's not saying that life is going to end in 10 years, or 100 years. It doesn't say what will happen if we miss this goal. Just that it takes time to stop or reverse global warming, so with respect to this particular, arbitrary goal, we are at risk. If AOC said anything different she was mistaken.


Thank you. Somehow that part is always skipped, perhaps ignored.
