Is America Dead?

Is America Dead?

It's not that we're physically dead. What died are American ideals and freedom. Americans no longer seem to be able to intelligently disagree with one another without resorting to personal insults. We can no longer intelligently disagree without being "fact checked" by a strongly partisan "'independent' fact checker." We are no longer allowed to express ideas that are different from what the side that wields the power believes. It's killing comedy and it's killing music. I never thought that I would see this happen in America by an American company. It has also started trickling out into "real life." Now, if you disagree with a certain race of people, you become automatically racist and are worthy of death… or worse. In fact, if you disagree with something that seems absolutely nonsensical to you, you are automatically a racist and probably a spy for Putin. Wait! You are definitely a racist and a Nazi and are probably a spy for Putin. You are ESPECIALLY a Nazi if you agree with Donals J. Trump giving Israel back to the Jews. After all, ignorance is strength! Whoops! I used punctuation. Punctuation is also now racist, Nazi, and probably a secret code that transmits messages in code directly to Putin. The new norm is to run all sentences together in one long paragraph. I suspect that using more than one space between words makes you at least suspect and carriage returns probably put you on the direct path to the electric chair or at least put your name on a list for a re-education camp. So, where do we go from here? Considering all things that are occurring: A fence around the White House Riots, burning and looting being called "mostly peaceful protests" A mostly peaceful protest being called a "violent insurrection" Refusal to allow evidence of election tampering to be heard in the courts A clearly unfit leader being installed in the White House It makes you wonder if a larger, hidden group put "1984," "The Animal Farm," and "Fahrenheit 451" together and used them as a playback? Of course, rather than burn books they just put everything on the internet where words can be changed at will. This isn't just occurring on Facebook. It is occurring on the Mount Vernon site where America's first leader's records have been changed. It occurs on Wikipedia if someone doesn't like what they have read. It is occurring all over the internet anywhere public and historical information exists. Gone are the days when people went to libraries to look up information on a subject. There is no need to burn books. They and their librarians are obsolete. Where will this lead? It's not unreasonable to assume that some sort of dictator will be put in place. Of course, it may not be a single man but more likely a corporate "person." Perhaps the corporate "person" will be comprised of members of the boards of all corporations? Or maybe it WILL be a person. Perhaps the Antichrist mentioned in the Bible? Maybe it won't be a person at all. Maybe a machine with advanced Artificial Intelligence? The answers aren't clear at this time. All we know is that something looms on the horizon.
