[QUOTE="Sgt Dog, post: 3346447, member: 15840"] I'm a skeptic so I agree. Will America emerge changed? What’s your prediction? I predict we’ll go right back to stocking shelves with goods made in China. Nancy has already suggested an investigation, so that prediction is not fair. Bad guys will still be bad guys and good people will still be by-in-large good people. But the proportions will continue to shift because the greatest factory producing good people, the strong family unit, will continue to decline. And the same decline will still be sponsored by the same people. Those championing values and a return of the primacy of History Departments over the Sociology Departments in academia will still be characterized as reactionary, While those insisting on “change for change sake”, and at lightyear-speed, will still be characterized as progressive. The rural areas will lag behind the urban areas but in a good way. The news media will continue its decline into partisanship. Gun control will eventually prevail and holdouts like us will be demonized for the stockpiles we possess in sensationalized media reports once real "infringement" begins in earnest. Those "infringing" on constitutional rights will still pose in front of the press professing concern for Americans rather than being charged with violating the constitution as they should be. Violent crime statistics and curves will escalation. People will resume their skepticism regarding religion while the religious resume their concern for the skeptical. Character and values will speed up their fragmentation. Globalist will remain globalists while Nationalist will still be characterized as xenophobes. People who once embraced Trump prior to his presidency will again renew their attacks which began before inauguration - and do so with vigor. Americans will return to consumerism and pop-culture obsession, failing to differentiate that from the positive history of Western Civilization. Migration of Historic Proportions will continue due the population explosions in unstable regions and continue it’s pressure on the West and continue changing it forever. And we’ll continue seeing ourselves as ‘victims’ or ‘oppressors’ depending on which side of the political spectrum we reside. Unfortunately we'll do that rather than defending our borders as a justifiable right to preservation. The process of Entropy will continue but not in the sense of Energy, but in the sense of a fragmented Human Spirit and what we understand (or don't understant) about freedom. In other words, we’ll pick up where we left off. We will not have a Chautauqua-styled renewal of intellect, discourse and critical thinking. Democracies will continue decline as it's main prerequisite, a Godly or virtuous people, continue to diminish And because of this governments will claim more power and authority because these will be necessary to maintain order. You could say I’m the opposite of the optimistic Mr Trump. But the good news is I could be wrong. Wee could change all of this. If indeed a Crisis Should Never Be Wasted, we could decide not to waste this one and use it as a starting point and and an opportunity to demonstrate we actually have the WILL to fight back and quit retreating.
