"I don’t believe in your dark days, America is falling, civil war mindset."
Countries and empires don't last forever, why wouldn't the same be true for the United States? I don't see a healthy society in the United States as of 2022, I see a deeply polarized nation. Divorce rates are through the roof; people aren't having kids because of the cost of living; the middle class is becoming smaller and smaller every year; people are hooked on/addicted to SSRIs, opioids, alcohol and other drugs; younger Americans are suffocated with student loans (and this includes people with technical degrees in engineering, IT, medical studies, and accounting); our inner cities are so damn violent, it would require a paramilitary force to bring order; millions no longer trust election results (and this includes liberals as well as indicated by Russia Gate); There is a fair amount of cultural animosity between different races etc. And the list goes on and on. Do you think this is sustainable? These are issues that have been brewing for decades, and it is very likely that these issues will ultimately contribute to this nation's undoing sometime in this century.
Also, "Civil War" is the worst case scenario. A more likely scenario, is what happened when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
"But, I will say if you don’t believe that for a very long time this country was only prosperous for white males and that it was racist and misogynistic then there’s absolutely no hope for any discussion"
So let me ask you this: What can be done? Acknowledge that slavery and Jim Crow happened? Well that has already occurred. I started public school in the late 90s/early 2000s, and I can tell you right now that every year you learn about the Civil War and MLK.
"then there’s absolutely no hope for any discussion"
My friend, that was the thesis of my initial response. There is no hope for any discussion. Those two conflicting visions cannot be reconciled in this country. I cannot think of any scenario that could cause this country to become united.
