I’m late to this party, but I have to throw in my two cents, which no one will probably see or care about. Our culture has degraded since the Cold War, 9/11, even since COVID in 2020. There is now half of American voters who think Trumpism is ok. Its negatives won’t affect them. A good percentage of citizens were apathetic and didn’t even bother to vote.
I see our country in a spiritual crisis. Values of right vs. wrong, truth even if unpleasant, personal responsibility, self-sacrificing service for others’ benefit, decency, kindness…are increasingly seen as irrelevant when it comes to our leaders. They set the tone when they see the citizenry not demanding otherwise. National unity is less and less coveted. Self is on a pedestal. “What I want. What Trump wants.” Not what’s best: Philippians 2:3
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.”
Our country may move on, but not in a good way. Ennui will produce a spiritual apathy, laziness that leads to the allowance of not good things. I never wanted to accept that our country is in decline….defining deviancy down to the point of degradation.
Bork:
“Our country is being radically altered, step by step, by Justices who are not following any law.
It is a ship with a great deal of sail but a very shallow keel”
