Is US society starting to become unravelled with all the violent, hate filled ultra-patriotic propaganda they have been fed over the past few decades?
The country has been doing pretty well living off debt to other countries who actually work to produce things that sustain their standard of living over the past few decades.
Now the pigeons are coming home to roost, who are the extremists going to blame? Reds under the beds? Joos? Negros? Muslims? The anti gun lobby?
The ultra right wing, Christian, white extremists have plenty of followers including a few here on the board. Even the most recent past US president who was voted to serve two consecutive terms. There must be tens of millions of those brainwashed nutters out there. Mostly well armed with all kinds of weapons as is their right under the US constitution. A pretty scary situation.
But of course most of these types are basically paranoid cowards who live their lives based on fear and holed up in their bunker with loads of guns. Its unlikely there will ever be an armed uprising by their ilk in the USA because, in the end they really dont have the courage to stand up and fight for what they claim to believe in. But it certainly is likely that there will be instances of loony individuals committing hate murders to impress their political point of view. That kind of tragedy Appears to be on the increase in USA and can be expected to continue as the economy deteriorates.
Hey! You gotta blame someone. Why not just kill em? Its the American way after all. And its all that much easier to do if they are somehow different.
