Sadly, you're right.
I believe America's time is soon going to run out, and all the current efforts to "stem the tide" (including those made by Mr. Trump) may be destined to failure.
But the fault, dear skeeter, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.
We were fools for believing in the ridiculous notion that proclaims the "equality" of all, and that anyone, from anywhere, could come into the nation our forebears built and be "assimilated" and be the same as any other Euro-American. Thomas Jefferson wrote in platitudes, but his words bear no relation to the reality of humanity, race, and culture.
There was a time when those who governed the USA were smart enough to understand this, back in the 1920's when they pretty much cut off immigration to the country altogether. But they'd be called "racis'" and xenophobic today.
I sense that if we could somehow muster "the will" right now, send troops to the border, go full-speed ahead on the border barrier, deny all "asylum", and return border jumpers IMMEDIATELY to Mexico, that there might yet be a chance.
But even Mr. Trump seems to be wary of pushing too hard.
I wish that he was not.
Fishrrman's credo:
Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.
That "slow motion train wreck" is the reality that I see, too.
