Decline and Fall

When a Great Power declines it does so slowly and many people do not realize the decline until well after the Decline is clear.

Case in Point:  Led on by the President of the US, Trump supporters challenge and harass the Press. and much like the Brown Shirts in NAZI Germany with the Jews.

The US is rather like parents who do not know what their rowdy kids are up to.  Vladimir Putin isthat older kid down the block who is  corrupting our kid, Donald Trump and teaching him unacceptable behavior I  our Democratic Family.

After years of increasingly negative behaviors being encouraged by Talk Radio and the like, we now have a strong negative base for hostile behavior to the very principles that had made the US a great power.

Today the political talk is just as likely to be wild ranting theories great plots to destroy what ever the radical extremes think is being destroyed.

The Dumbing down of the US began in the 80's and has just about reached a critical crescendo. Trump is now directing these lunatics, the new brown shirts, to attack the target that they are given.   This is no accident.  I have always thought the fall of the US would come from within, not from some military force. The snake for Adam and Eve was in the garden not attacking from outside.
