Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior
sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor
of over a decade ago.
The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by
conservatives. For the first time in their lives, all Americans of all
classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that
threatens their families’ safety and the American way of life.
The border is not just porous as in the pre-Trump past. It is
nonexistent. Some 2 million people may cross illegally in the current
fiscal year—with complete impunity.
There is zero effort to stop them. Officials daily hector Americans to
get vaccinated and tested for COVID. But they are mute about illegal
entrants, some of them infected with the virus.
Have we ever had a president who made no pretense about destroying
federal immigration law and asking of Americans what he does not of
illegal aliens?
Joe Biden has also conceded that his hold on housing evictions
deliberately defied a Supreme Court ruling. He added that he probably
did not have the legal authority to ignore the court, but did not
really care.
As in the case of demolishing immigration law, the president seems
either unaware or proud that he is insidiously dismantling the
Constitution.
America has also never quite seen such overt and multifaceted efforts
to undermine the foundations of free-market capitalism.
Cut!
Scared Americans have lost faith in the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon, the
CDC, and most of the federal bureaucracies that are as politicized as
they are increasingly incompetent.
What started out as elite woke nonsense now warps everyone’s daily
life. If we don’t wake up from wokeness, we will continue on our sure
trajectory to self-inflicted, systemic paralysis—followed by
civilizational collapse.
