Left is to blame
The American Descent into Madness
America went from the freest country in the world in December 2019 to a repressive and frightening place by July 2021.
How did that happen?
In the last six months, we have seen absurdities never quite witnessed in modern America.
Madness, not politics, defines it.
There are three characteristics of all these upheavals. One, the events are unsustainable. They will either cease or they will destroy the nation, at least as we know it.
Two, the law has largely been rendered meaningless.
Three, left-wing political agendas justify any means necessary to achieve them.
Two million people are anticipated to cross the southern border, en masse and illegally, over a 12-month period.
If that absurdity were to continue, we would be adding the equivalent of a major U.S. city every year.
One does not arrive as a guest in a foreign country and immediately violate the laws of his host—unless one holds those laws in contempt.

Yet the issue is not illegal immigration per se.
If protests were to continue in Cuba, and 1 million Cubans boated to Miami, the Biden Administration would stop the influx, in terror that so many anti-Communists might tip Florida red forever.

How strange that the U.S. government is considering going door-to-door to bully the unvaccinated, even as it ignores the daily influx of thousands from Mexico and Latin America, without worrying whether they are carrying or vaccinated for COVID-19.

Crime is another current absurdity. There exists a mini-industry of internet videos depicting young people, disproportionately African American males, stealing luxury goods from Nieman-Marcus in San Francisco, clearing a shelf from a Walgreens with impunity, or assaulting Asian Americans.

The universities over the past 40 years were intolerant, hard Left, and increasingly anti-constitutional.
No complex and sophisticated society is sustainable with a Maoist creed of cannibalizing citizens for thought crimes. Commissars do not produce anything or serve anybody, but only monitor thoughts and speech to ascertain the purity of diversity, equity, and inclusion. They are not just a drain on the productive sector but will insidiously destroy it since their currency is to ensure a timid, obsequiousness, and banal orthodoxy.

Inflation
The scary fact is not just that we are destroying the value of our money—the exploding price of gas, food, appliances, lumber, power, and housing are overwhelming even Joe Biden’s entitlement machine—but that we are constructing pseudo economics to justify the nihilism.

Military
We are in the process of a massive reeducation and indoctrination campaign.
The revamping not only draws scarce resources away from military readiness, but targets, without evidence, the white working class, and defames it as insurrectionary—the very same cohort that disproportionately died in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Policing the thoughts of American soldiers is apparently more important than fathoming the minds of our enemies on the battlefield.

America went from the freest country in the world in December 2019 to a repressive, and frightening place by July 2021. It went not so much hard-Left, as stark-raving mad.

That abrupt descent, too, is not workable and millions will collectively decide they have no choice but to push back and conclude, “In the 233rd year of our republic, we tens of millions are not going to cede freedom of thought and expression to thousands of Maoists. Sorry, no can do.”

Freedom?
The U.S. dips to a record low in global rankings
“The decline of American economic freedom is serious cause for alarm, and has real and tangible consequences for all Americans, especially low-income families and the working class,” said Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts.
The index was launched in 1995 and evaluates countries in four broad policy areas affecting economic freedom: rule of law, government size, regulatory efficiency, and open markets.

Since non extension of assault rifle restriction legislation in 2004 gun violence has increased +240%. Violent rhetoric , name calling & destructive comments toward veteran, minorities, co-workers who disagree, and seasoned workers(congress, voting volunteers, friends & family)has increased. If your not on my side your the enemy no discussion had. Bias opinionated news has skewed facts so truth is hard to discern. We need a lot of work on civil debate of issues, non violent resolutions and unity on Democracy.

Here are some statistics on guns in USA I copied : 100
Number of people killed by guns in the U.S., every day

12
Number of children who die every day from gun violence in the U.S.

950
School shootings since Sandy Hook, including 27 school shootings so far this year.

18 to 21
Peak ages for violent offending with firearms

8 million
Number of AR-15s and its variations in circulation

9 in 10
Number of people who will die after attempting suicide with a gun

98
Percentage of mass shooters who are men

89
Percentage of gun owners who favor preventing the "mentally ill" from purchasing guns

77
Percentage of gun owners who favor background checks at private sales and gun shows

54
Percentage of gun deaths that are suicides; 43% are murders

79
Percentage of murders that involved a firearm

<1
Percentage of people who defended themselves with their guns in violent crimes. As a local lawyer would say in his commercials: Think about it!

Note: I am an avid hunter, gun owner and enjoy the outdoors. While I believe in the 2nd amendment it was written at time of single shot rifles & pistols, mass shootings would be impossible as shooter would be contained after one or two shots! Most states do not allow assault type rifles to hunt with-why do they make up +20% of guns sales when they have limited practical use? All countries have mental health issues, but we are the only one with high violent crime & gun death issues. A friend of mine-gun collector, hunter, self ammo loader recently sold his AR so as not to be associated with this violence.
