Does anyone deny that we are on a societal decline?

It get more and more obvious every year. Starting around 2003, when Biden and Bush lied us into Iraq, we have been on a decline as a society.

Open air drug markets in every major city. College education only affordable by the elites. The smallest of Emergency Room visits taking 6+ hours and being tens of thousands of dollars. Entire neighborhoods of cities where crime is rampant and nobody speaks English. The courts being used to go after political opponents while the border faces what is possibly the largest invasion in human history. Heck, our government is so dysfunctional that it can't operate a space program and relies on private companies.

Simply put, we are not in a functioning society. How long are we going to pretend that we are and what will be the outcome?

This was unimaginable 20 years ago. Even the lack of culture compared to 20 years ago is depressing as there is no longer "art for art's sake", but everything is about "the message" which is apparently a destructive one judging by our culture.

It sure seems that way but watch this clip from 1976 and tell me what's different today?

Have we been in a 48 year decline?

Or are things always bad but and we just notice them sometimes more than others?

Oh, I dunno.

How about student debt, a broken school system with lower test scores, violent gangs of foreign nationals all across the country, WW3 starting, a smaller middle class, entire neighborhoods of every major cities being open air drug markets, higher depression, and the mutilation of kids' genitals to appease the transgender religion.

"when Biden and Bush lied us into Iraq,"
I stopped reading after that. Biden was just one of 29 Dems and 48 Repubs who went along with Junior's obsession to finish Papa Bush's war. Fix that sentence and I might read the rest of it.

Erm....okay.

Biden was chairman of the foreign relations committee on the Senate and coordinated with the W admin to handpick every Senate witness before the vote to invade Iraq.

It is simply a historical fact that Biden was instrumental in starting the Iraq War. Sorry if the facts offend you, but the truth is that Biden is the most prolific war monger alive. He deserves to be tried before the Hague with his buddies who started the illegal Iraq War.
