The US is now a bankrupt warmongering police state.
Nothing will change, though, because too many people have a vested interest in maintaining it. The elites have bought off the politicians with campaign donations and cushy job promises and TSA agents and welfare leeches would not vote for freedom or less welfare money.
People get used to slavery. You wouldn't mind radar detectors if radar detectors existed before you were born. Kids born today would think NDAA indefinite detention, gun bans, free speech bans, kill lists, asset forfeiture, TSA groping, NSA wiretapping, and CIA torture are perfectly acceptable.
The government is no longer a democracy or is legitimate. The electronic voting machines can be hacked. Americans are not responsible for the laws and and taxes they didn't vote for.
Americans are too immoral, degraded, and depraved now to vote for someone like Ron Paul who would try to reduce the debt, end the wars, and restore the Bill of Rights so a total collapse of the USA is certain. The US will either have a sudden collapse like the USSR, a slow decline like Japan, Brazil, or Venezuela, or the US Ponzi economy will crash, Civil War 2.0 will start, and WWIII will break out.
Moral Americans that were taught to hate the Soviet Union everyday in school are in a shock now that they are told to be Communists.
All those Americans who died fighting for freedom against the British, Hitler, and Iraq died for nothing.
Communists scream Norway is a Socialist success story, but Norwegians are drunks now because there's no reason to work or get married. What will Norway do when Muslims overrun their nation and the oil money runs out?
Maybe the best option right now is that Americans need to go Galt, dropout, buy gold, buy a sailboat or live in the mountains, stop paying taxes, stop getting licenses, lose their names, stop flying, stop using the Internet, and stop dealing with the government.
