I read somewhere that empires generally last about 250 years.

'Murica is what... 247 years old?

So there's that.

Seems determined to hit close to the mark on that particular arc though.

Our government has been exposed, for anyone who cares to look, as a candyfloss shell floating on a swamp covered by a tarp painted to look like solid ground.

The paint has faded, the tarp has holes in, and the candyfloss is rotting. The swamp-loving critters are already fighting for position to capture the last morsels when the whole thing sinks with a fetid *bloop* of displaced hot air.

The US missed a golden opportunity to transition from a superpower after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact. The military-industrial complex which bought both parties made damn sure that never happened.

Shouldn't we have to be like Rome before we can fall like Rome? Let's get some gladiator fights and drunken wine orgies going!

HAIL THE EMPEROR!

Imagine if Hunter became Emperor?  The public orgies would be epic.

We are falling exactly like Rome. Hell, we even fill our military with illegals now. In another thread, I just pointed out that the 1985 dollar has devalued to 20 cents today! If everyone accepted the full realization of inflation and increased government taxation, we would butcher all politicians in the streets tomorrow. All its gonna take is hunger or energy failure and the wheels will fly off the clown car and people will be purging.

America was fucked when we kicked God out of government. All we can do now is prep for the end.

Buy guns and ammo.

The communists are certainly trying to force a cultural revolution on to everyone right now and their goal is to destroy society so they can bring about a revolution.
