Maybe this should be it's own thread, but it's late and I don't want to deal with trolls all night.

I can't be the only one, but I'm having a hard time recognizing our country. I skim through the main forum, read some of the threads and I don't know these people. They say they're Americans, but they sure don't sound like it. They haven't a clue of how things are supposed to work and if they do, they don't want to do the heavy lifting to try to make things right. They would rather have a foreign entity take over or destroy us. I know some are trolls, but not all of them. I hear similar things from people in real life, too.

I'm not asking for an explanation on when and how this happened. I have a good idea. I'm just frustrated today with it all, the lack of understanding history, the disrespect of most anything/anyone, the carelessness for our way of life. It makes me question why I gave up what I did for these people. Are they people? Sometimes I wonder about a few of them.

I am in NO way saying our country is perfect, no one can claim that. What I will say, after living for several years in other countries/places, is this is still the most free country on Earth. Maybe not for long, though. Not when there are people willing to let someone with different ideas and values take charge. Enemies, both foreign and domestic. Are there still Americans out there that can discern the difference today? Is there anyone out there brave enough to say the emperor has no clothes? Do we deserve another George Washington? Idk.

Rant off.


eta: I don't think my country exists anymore.
