Macgregor: America's Reckoning With Reality - Post-Convention Realities to Political Apathy
Macgregor: America's Reckoning With Reality
Post-Convention Realities
The glitz and glamor of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions have faded, and it's time to face the harsh realities of the current state of the nation. The cost of food has risen by 21 percent in the last three years, and 30-year mortgage rates have nearly doubled from 3.7 percent to 7 percent. With escalating rents, increasing car loan defaults, and a reported 150,000 cases of missing children, America is in a state of crisis.
Societal Collapse
Many Americans believe that the country is experiencing a moral collapse. Divorce rates are high, single parents are struggling, drug abuse is rampant, suicide rates are alarming, and the rule of law seems to be crumbling. It's no wonder that Americans are losing faith in their institutions, courts, and even military leadership. The sense of national identity is diminishing, with many feeling isolated and helpless under the weight of mass media, pop culture, and perceived deception from official sources.
Political Apathy and Wealth Disparity
Despite the growing disillusionment among the populace, the ruling political class, often referred to as the Uniparty, seems indifferent. As American wages decline and jobs disappear, the political elite and the nation's billionaires continue to prosper. Since January 2021, the wealth of America's 750 billionaires has increased by $1.5 trillion. Meanwhile, the Uniparty continues to support events and policies that many Americans feel degrade their values and beliefs.
Identity Politics and Institutionalized Fraud
Identity politics have become a permanent feature of America's political landscape. This shift is evident in the increasing emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and equity in federal programs. However, these programs are often viewed as insincere and even harmful to the country's identity and history. The Uniparty's push for open borders and a "one ballot, one vote" system is seen as a way to replace the "one citizen, one vote" principle, leading to further disillusionment.
Denationalization and the Armed Forces
The Uniparty's actions are seen by some as an attempt to denationalize the United States, destroying national identity and social cohesion. This process involves transforming Americans into passive consumers and the U.S. Armed Forces into mercenary military formations staffed by illegal migrants. The Uniparty dismisses these accusations, insisting that the influx of foreigners will enhance American culture, society, and way of life.
Uniparty's Promises and Wars
The Uniparty continues to make grand promises of free healthcare, education, housing, and more, without providing a clear plan for funding these initiatives. Meanwhile, the national debt continues to grow, surpassing the defense budget. The Uniparty also shows enthusiasm for war, even considering handing over control of the U.S. Armed Forces to a foreign power for use in a major conflict that could involve other nuclear-armed powers.
Public Awareness
Despite the Uniparty's actions and rhetoric, Americans are not oblivious. They understand the drawbacks of open borders and the devastating impacts of modern warfare. The potential adversaries in Eastern Europe and the Middle East are no longer disorganized and defenseless; they have armies, air forces, navies, air defenses, and persistent surveillance capabilities.
Time for Action
As President Abraham Lincoln once said, "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." The time for action is now. The question is whether Americans will remain bystanders or intervene to save the Republic.
