A lot of the population wants a check and other free stuff from government and will continue to vote for it. Add in the unions and everyone else that gets paid with public money and doesn't have to worry about personally generating a profit and here we are. Add the corrupt media who shills for Dems and you have half the country. Then open the borders ad let them vote for free stuff and you can get a majority. Everything liberals touch turns into a complete sh!tshow disaster. Now they have no issues to run on and try to silence and persecute/prosecute their rivals. Add in the debt and this country is dead in the water. Not to mention wokeness. Our military can't whip people in rags riding camels and driving 30 year old Toyota pickups with a gun mounted on the back in 20 years in Afghanistan.

de Toqueville:
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money

"Fact checkers" are trying to claim he never said it, which tells me he did. But doesn't matter, it's 100% true.
This great country as we knew it is just a fond memory...
