I look at the grander picture. It’s not that the democrats aren’t connected, it’s that the American people are culturally bankrupt. The romans became decadent after all, culturally incapable of maintaining their empire and slowly declining in power and influence over Europe. The American idea itself is in decline.
- noworriesnate 2y ago> The American idea itself is in decline. America isn't an idea any more than England is an idea. We're a specific group of people with a specific heritage.
- philistine 2y agoIf you want another word: American culture is in decline.
- refurb 2y agoWhy? Because they reject your policies? Thats an awfully arrogant position to take.
- philistine 2y agoBecause of the way Americans handled themselves during this election. On both sides! That January 6th happened. That Biden dropped out so late, denying a primary to his party. All these show me that American culture is spiralling towards incompetence, just like the Romans.
- refurb 2y agoYour theory isn't really backed up by much. If you look at American history, it's been much worse.
