You may not have noticed the Graying line of the Establishment is ever Grayer… and thinner… and fading more each day.
They’re all very old and have no replacements. Pelosi will never be replaced by AOC. Hakeem Jefferies is no Tip O’Neil.
The other problem is when they made Color Revolution against Trump it seems to have escaped them that overthrowing a State and Failing it meant they were overthrowing themselves. This seems impossible unless you’ve been overseas in the American military… or even State Department, but you see consequences are for others…
The tragedy of the Neocons in MENA for example was they wanted an Empire, but to commute to work.
That’s not how Empire works.
Nor domestic (?) tyranny… which is.. coming apart. We had the old, fake and ghey overreach comically and will end tragically.
You see the line you see is vanishing… especially in DC.
This means something; yes what you said (one destroys the other) but also more immediately the dissolution of the Democratic Party. Which is not just the Federal Government but every National and International Institution, all are not only all Democratic in reality, by law and code must be governed according to the New Deal.
And that party collapses.
As America is organically a Federation from the Iroquois to the Internet and very densely Federated administratively America is very resilient.
However above local and in rare cases State level the government and all institutions are Democratic… admit it or not… and the Democratic Party dissolves with no successor. Certainly not the GOP. The GOP is the party for where you live, not Empire foreign or Domestic… but Empire is what now exists….
And the Empire dissolves with the Democratic Party.
Mostly over Abortion and also the General Moral Decline : The Papists went to the meetings, Sir. They also spent decades becoming lawyers, court clerks in DC and elsewhere. They forged alliances over Dominus Pizza … er Dominos … and went to the business community. Business wants Chevron gone, and paid for it… Catholics wanted Abortion checked (and yes would ban it utterly but that’s highly unlikely) and do notice they got their end first. Instead of everything for nothing, oh sharp eyed Yankee Traders.
Go to the meetings, right? Endlessly the lament was the Left go to the meetings and win.
I wouldn’t worry about the mentioned neckbeard Rod, or that much about the more reasonable and less histrionic Adrian Vermule. These are men of letters… their time passes.
There was a point around 06/07, at which most normal folks on the right could no longer really defend US foreign policy, and therefore couldn’t really defend their regime. I’m seeing that same sort of fatigue amongst leftists now. The only thing the livelier ones can still cling to is “hate Trump”, but it’s such a tired line…8 years is a long time.
not liberal. There are good things about ‘red America’ too. The problem with your article is that you harken to an America that no longer exists. White Christian America is dead in a grimy pool of economic neoliberalism, social anomie, and decline of religion and culture. There is no saving America only breaking it apart into more organic polities.
Our enemies are in charge of this country, its institutions, armed forces, law enforcement, and all levels of government. Most especially at higher administrative levels. How do we defeat this?
It's fine to cherry-pick from Blue and Red orchards. But to your point, Christians aren't dying out at all. It's Fake Christian America that's dying. Membership in churches that resisted vaccine policies are exploding. Take a quick gander at how Orthodox Greek, Russian, and Catholic churches are growing in the US and world.
That is unfortunately not the case. Catholicism and Protestantism are in steep decline in the United States. People who define themselves as ‘nones’ are rapidly increasing. There is a small number of Americans converting to Eastern Orthodox Churches but it is insignificant compared to the demographic and social decline of American Christianity. While we aren’t at Western European levels of church decline that is the direction we are headed in.
Depends on "Christian." Your method wouldn't count my family. Mine does. People understandably left woke Protestant funding centers. Did they become Muslims? Orthodox church growth went vertical starting 2020, and was up huge before that. Why? Despite Pope Peedo, Catholicism is in the midst of huge change. New priests in the US now tilt almost exclusively conservative. And white. What's up with that? Maybe what you're seeing as a permanent decline is actually a recovery from pervasive heresy.

Fantastic article Paul, I love the way you teach lessons.
There was a point around 06/07, at which most normal folks on the right could no longer really defend US foreign policy, and therefore couldn’t really defend their regime. I’m seeing that same sort of fatigue amongst leftists now. The only thing the livelier ones can still cling to is “hate Trump”, but it’s such a tired line…8 years is a long time.

I like more things about ‘blue America’ but am

Respectfully sir, what you state here is wrong and by believing you are helping our enemies.

Astute work. Glad to have found this, and glad to see this from a fellow Virginian
