The Right has strategically blundered. They thought the meltdown of the left would cause the rational to walk away. They should have understood that this doesn't happen historically. Historically a democratic political spectrum gravitates into a Communist State.
Conservatives tend to be very stable. Liberals tend towards activism. These are easily conflated with Left and Right. Yes ... there are activists (sometimes called extremists) on the Conservative side. The don't 'rise up' very often because that half of the spectrum they align with _is very stable_.
When a flavor of activism is found that can move 'the herd', that's when all Hell starts to break loose. That's where we are right now with all this Diversity and Inclusion bullshit. It's simply cover for what's to come: a new state of Communism.
The US Dollar's eminent demise is obviously at-hand. The social programs we used to believe in have been financially gutted. Everyone's pensions are about to be raided and drained. Left in its place will be "need". The current plan to fill that need will be CBDCs. But that's just a 'treatment' to stave off the revolt we all deserve to experience. Because you need A Revolt to remove the people in charge and the people in control from Power. And ... they ... desperately want to retain Power during this transition.
If they succeed in creating a western version of the USSR ... would you want to live in it?
You do know the date is something like 2030. You've got around 6 years left to do anything about it. Us saying, "We were too old to save the country when it was time to do that" is about the ultimate cop-out. Doing something about it will likely result in you pointing your guns at the neighbor's kids ... and if not your own neighbors ... other people's neighbors. Why? We've let the people who want to retain power in transition eliminate specific school curriculum (like Civics) and introduce 'the crazy'. They've _already_ warped the minds of millions and millions ... and countless millions when you look outside our own borders. And, even I don't have that much ammunition. I do have enough to take down what might amount to be a significant portion of the Power Grid ... and keep it down.
Only thing gives me hope these days is the faddish boycott of Transheuser-Busch and hearing certain movies and songs making it to the top of the charts despite what TPTB desire (sorta like Trump taking an election away from Hitlery).
