I wouldn't go on what the media has to tell you about how America's doing. They've been painting the "America has gone to hell because of Donald Trump" for 4 years, and yet I still don't see the real country as bad off as they paint it to be on tv. He lives rent-free in way too many leftist minds, and they can't think about anything else. It's like their mind-control machines went on overload with their most susceptible subjects, and now they can't think about anything else.
Even now, with the coronavirus lockdowns, there are still people going about their daily lives, taking care of family and themselves, people walking their dogs, children playing in certain areas (probably not parks), there are still people on the highways, and some people are still going to work because their job is deemed essential and cannot be shut down, like at grocery stories and hospitals.
You want a real idea on how America is doing? Come here and see for yourself, and stay out of the cities. Those are liberal hotbeds, where most of the violence happens. You'll see that there's a totally different reality going on than what the media likes to make you believe.

Good point. Actually in the suburban and rural areas it's been a pleasant few days in America. That's where law abiding citizens tend to be well armed, they know how to use their weapons, and rioters know they won't put up with that crap. Still, regarding the op's geopolitical concern, it's fair to point out that the US is doomed in its present form unless President Trump wins reelection.

I'm in a blue state but left the city quite some time ago. Tons and tons of looters came where I live last night but they were quickly driven out and didn't get much. Tonight the police were even more prepared. I only heard sirens once and they had everything blocked off. 🙌🏻
I did hear some funny stories about the rough part of Chicago today. The gangs were protecting their local stores and scared the 💩 out of the looters. I saw some clips on Snapchat of the gang members telling the cops "we got this man!" One gang member told a looter "hell no, you ain't doing that 💩 here!!" They were scary looking too! But still, the funniest thing I saw today. No one messed with the gang.
I wonder if they felt good being the good guys today? Maybe it'll change their perspective on how they live their lives?
Either that or they'll be back to robbing their neighborhood stores, the very ones they protected today when this is over. 😂

In areas under Democrat rule this may require citizens arming themselves and forming militias to protect their neighborhoods. The good news is I've seen isolated clips of business owners, usually white men but sometimes blacks, even in such cities with the worst riots showing up armed and driving away looters. That's satisfying to watch.
These Democrat riots have unwittingly underscored the need for the Second Amendment, and the fallacy of the gun control argument for restricting magazine size. When facing a vast mob you might need more than 10 bullets, especially if the treasonous mayor has sided with the looters against you.

In Cicero Illinois they're doing this. They have every right to protect it. If the police aren't allowed to protect the public, we have to.
We have 2 extremes here.
1-Police killing "unarmed black men," which we know is actually very rare, yet gets all the attention.
2-Police having to stand down or risk be accused of police brutality (if you've noticed, the majority of the looters are black). In other words, we, the law abiding citizens have to protect ourselves because the cops can't. They know this. It's like they're taunting them "come get me, I dare you!" kind of attitude. If they do, the criminals are labeled innocent and the cops are labeled racist or worse.
The mayor of Chicago is so off her rocker (and her power has gone completely to her Beetlejuice head)... Her hatred for our President is so severe that she'd rather see innocents hurt or dead than want his help. Between Lightfoot and Pritzker, they're both putting people in danger and they lie constantly about Trump! They make me sick.
But yeah, more and more people flexing their 2nd Amendment rights and others have decided to start arming themselves now. Several close neighbors of mine have quite a few guns in their homes. They better not mess with our neighborhood. It won't end well.

Like I said, I look out the window and nothing here has changed. These cowards don't dare bring that crap to my town.

I'm so sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you'd like to meet so we can work this out. I'm certain we can come to some sort of understanding.
Coward.
Oh hey, guess what? lol

Do explain what you mean in detail - you're being rather vague.
