So you are okay with using the threat of violence (government force) against peaceful people to take their stuff and give it to others who didn't earn it?

GTHO with that stupid bumper sticker speak.
It's an honest question. Why are you having a difficult problem answering it?

After being destroyed, what next? I just want to know how this is going down. Whatever is supposed to happen will happen at a fast speed. Look where we are already. It's just horrible and scary.
I think the middle class will be gone. Those in it now, will progress up, if they can, those that can't will fall. We will be a nation of haves, and have nots. The whole woke agenda will eventually backfire, and things will swing back hard...to far.
Home ownership will be extremely hard, if not impossible.

Take the national debt. Add the RECKLESS SPENDING plans of Biden and the radical democrats to that number. Take that total and divide by the population of the United States. Better yet, divide it by the number of people working. That will show you where we stand.

I agree except that in my opinion, we are already a nation of haves and have-nots. Today, in my opinion, the haves are those of middle income or higher who can pay their bills and have a few luxuries without going deeply into debt. The have-nots are those who struggle just to have enough food to eat or who depend on the government to help them do that.

There are those who disagree and say the have's are only those in the top 1% or so, but I disagree. In my opinion, anyone who thinks their life is good is a "have".

I do, however, agree that in the not-too-distant future, there will only be rich and poor, with the rich being those who own their own homes, and the poor being anyone who pays rent.

The biggest challenge will be for the young and middle aged people. They will have to support a massive crop of entitled Boomers.

I agree for the most part. The problem is the media paints any person who's even slightly too conservative for their taste as a far-right extremist and then all the sheep in the masses listen.

We need politicians that can truly unite both sides.

Few if any can straddle a political Grand Canyon.

No we dont. We need to split up, the differences are irreconcilable.

Said the Jew to his family in 1933. That was ten years before they all died in the camps. Things have never been "just fine." Throughout history, some have been lucky enough to not be affected by the insanity of our species, but there has never been a historical point where everything is "just fine." Just brief interludes in various locations between the typical evil. Such is the nature of mankind.
I’m not in denial. Have buried husband- son and grandson. Life happens, but we survive and start again. Don’t be afraid - is what we teach our family.
