It's really rural vs urban, not red states vs blue states. The mega huge political differences between rural and urban Oklahoma are unbelievable. I think the rural red towns will continue to go on declining and losing population as usual. Those pitiful towns are helpless to do anything about it. If the state legalizes rec marijuana against their wishes, then they will simply have to accept it as they had to accept alcohol reform laws.

How much longer do you think we have "left?" Will the world be recognizable in 2030?
The end comes very soon with a world wide nuke war my man.

My concern is for this country and all the things you mentioned above really are happening here including the invasion at our southern border. I don't hold out much hope for our future and especially for the future of our kids and grandkids. I only hope we can lessen the severity of what is going on by electing government officials who sill start putting Americans first and allow LE and ICE do their jobs. As for the so-called woke progressives I hope they actually do wake up before it's too late.

Much of the "how much time do we have left" question falls firmly on the left. Simply put, half of the country is able to connect the dots and see where this train is heading, the other half of the country is soooooooooo distracted and focused on less important topics (yes still important, but in the bigger scheme of things, not THAT important). The left calls themselves WOKE but in fact, they are collectively asleep.


If and only if the left REALLY WAKES up, do we stand a chance at holding off the elite and their one world theatrics.

This replies are something else. People are so eager to divide themselves and be polarized.

The biggest test is how we handle climate change. I know posters on this site won't care about climate change. It's not critical race theory or socialism (imagine how old you have to be to still use red scare tactics) or whatever. But our world is literally changing in dramatic ways never before experienced in modern human history.

How will we address the flooding of coastal cities and South Florida? The wildfires in the west? The potential changing of air and water currents? What will the world do when countries start running out of water? We probably have the time to prevent the worst outcomes, but not the will (right now).

The US is on borrowed time.
For real. We are all living thru an historic snapshot of world history.
We will witness the complete collapse of the US. Nobody wants to believe what is happening, but it is. Go get your nails did, buy that jet ski, whatever you do to keep your head in the sand.

I'm not that pessimist the fall is right around the corner but America's decline is real. Rome took a long time to fall. America's been around for less than 300 years so it's definitely not for certain we will be around for another 1000, 500 or even 100 years. China has been around for close to 5000 years and yet we constantly underestimate them and think their rise is a fluke. History will tell.

Actually, they're made by Chinese slave labor.

No, it won't.

1. People who disagree with each other politically still live together in the same communities.

2. There would never be any agreement re assumption of the national debt.

3. Etc.
