Quoting: Cnevermore They were the fakest years humanity had ever lived! Well I lived through them, and every decade since, and I can GUARANTEE you that they were THE BEST. How old are you? When you say FAKE, do you mean that the churches were full and the bars and all the stores were closed on Sunday, the Lord's day? That kind of FAKE? Perverts were jailed instead of being given PARADES? That kind of FAKE? People came back from WWII and went to work for Westinghouse, or General Electric, or the A&P, or Sears, or Bethlehem Steel, or General Motors, and RETIRED from those same companies which took good care of their faithful employees. That kind of FAKE? When you counted the dimes and quarters and half-dollars in your pocket they were made of 90% pure SILVER? That kind of FAKE? You MUST be a STUPID KID, because you certainly didn't live through the fifties. For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible. (Stuart Chase) It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. (Mark Twain) |

Both events were sharp markers of the utter destruction of America as we saw our nation and ourselves. Vietnam and JFK were the precurser events... So no....1995-2005 is already too late. 1948- to prefeminism was the apex of the American middle class. After that, the slow slide into our current dystopian society, which will only get waaayyy worse. |

The secular part of me thinks it's the beginning of a new Dark time for the culture, like after the fall of the Roman Empire...that it's going to be a period of War and Upheaval that will require a few hundred years to sort out. Or from my perspective as a Christian- this is the End Times foretold in the Bible. It's going to get bad, but God's got this. It will be done in God's time but it will be better than the happiest day you've ever had! |

They created this mess by not getting out the way when it was their time to go. Funny how population can also be a bubble, and we are now in the process of riding that bubble down to the floor. We knew it was coming. |

Bedford Falls has become Pottersville, and banker Henry Potter has replaced George Bailey. In the US's case, Potter is like a combination of Jeff Bezos and George Soros. The "bank" is Silicon Valley and corporations like Coca-cola, Delta, Nike. Instead of Pottersville, we've become Bidenland. I don't think America's movie, however, is going to have a happy ending. Yea, it WAS really a wonderful life, certainly comparatively so. Thanks, liberals of America, for ruining everything. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77031197 Most of what's ailing America goes way beyond simple economics. Yea, there are financial problems, such as a lack of affordable housing, etc, that may have some connections to what you're describing. But most of America is facing a crisis of ideology, culture, social dynamics. The co-founder of BLM has been investing in fancy real estate, including a nice home for herself in an upper-income, mainly white part of LA. Meanwhile, her BLM has encouraged the devastation of various communities throughout the US. She's living large while other people face burned-out or looted businesses. |

Quoting: 2sunshine Imagine, they wouldn’t even show a man moving his hips on television. America has been in moral freefall since the sixties. We are now in TOTAL MORAL COLLAPSE. If people are so deluded to think that that has no consequences, REALITY will prove them WRONG. America started out as an almost 100% Christian population, and many actually lived out the Christian life. Now, you can't tell the pagans from the Christians in most cases, and the satanic Federal Government hasn't helped to wash away our Christian Foundation, they have DYNAMITED it. When Biden called GOD, "you know, THAT THING!" In the fifties he would have been attacked and torn limb from limb. Today BLASPHEMY doesn't even raise an eyebrow. It is still illegal in any places in America though unenforced. ALL THINGS are possible with GOD, so as depraved as America has become, there is ALWAYS HOPE, but we are certainly NOT heading in the direction of REPENTANCE of our WICKED WAYS. |

Not good, not bad, but alive, human. Emotions and love. Now I see only hate. It's obvious and i'm grateful that was born in the 60's grandchildren will grow up in hell a dystopia. And even worse they will fight everyone that wants to change it. There are moms and dads not birth people and providers and there are only 2 genders and there used to be a land called America. ~~~ So true... The 80’s were wonderful. I don’t believe the beautiful grand babies have a long future unfortunately. Tribulation is coming. The goal for everyone should be to make it out of here with one’s soul in tact.
