I'm past 60. The worst economic times I remember were the Jimmeh Carter years 1977-1981. The worst civil years were in the late 1960s with RFK, MLK assassinations, Riots, Black Panthers, SDS and other revolutionary entities causing chaos. I barely remember the day JFK was shot. LBJ's Great Society policies changed America forever after that, destroyed the black family structure and positioned Big Govt as the breadwinner for unmarried mothers. The worst years of American self image were, in my mind the Clinton years. Many questionable changes were made, Presidential scandals, the hag known as Hillary polarizing the people with her allegations of a "vast, right-wing conspiracy" fighting her. That has since morphed into "right wing extremists" when in fact Hillary was the unhinged extremist. Liberal feminism flourished. That presidency degraded the office of the president and vice president. I'll skip the more recent history 2000-up, you are probably familiar with it.
My 97 year old neighbor told me America was great from her childhood through the late 1950s, and seemed to go downhill after that, like clouds forming over the years blocking the sun that once shone brightly. She said you could trust your neighbors, civic duty was prevalent, people cared and helped to take care of each other. Where she was even the depression years weren't that bad. The sexual revolution of the 1960s, the advent of the pill, the senseless losses of the Vietnam war, the adoration of self changed America for the worse.
The past 50 years have seen a dramatic shift in American values.
Here's a portion of
Endless lies. ENDLESS WARS. Endless inflation. Endless 'printing'. Endless oppression. Endless subjugation. Endless surveillance. Who will put an end to the endless?
We will.
