• In a previous post you were asked ‘Can the US be saved?’ I read your answer. It was incomplete. Why not?

There are three major insurmountable obstacles to America being saved.

#1 – Debt. Never in the history of the world has any empire using fiat currency and implementing modern monetary theory (MMT) ever been “saved”…they have ALL fallen. Just to be clear, the US is an “empire” by definition. The debt the US has accumulated cannot be sustained, which is modern monetary theory. Debt will crash the US Empire, that is an indisputable fact, and proven by thousands of years of history…the US will be no different.

#2 – The invasion of illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants now make up approximately 15% of the population of the US. The extreme danger involved is the majority of the illegals are criminals before they cross our border, and all are criminals for crossing our border illegally. The chaos, crime, and financial impact cannot be overcome. It is past the tipping point, it is now on an exponential curve to destruction. And no, US citizens do not have the stomach to deport all of the illegals. Hell, we don’t have the stomach to depart just all the harden criminal illegals.

#3 – Political Parties. George Washington warned us against political parties, specifically a 2-party system, just over 200 years ago. And he was exactly right! The problem is, as Washington pointed out, a political party is simply interested in getting into, and staying in, power. In the US we are stuck in a death spiral with the Democrats and Republicans. Neither party does a damn thing to actually improve the country as per the Constitution…as in rights, freedoms, and liberties. Both parties are war-mongering, both parties can’t control their spending, both parties are tied into the military-industrial complex, both parties are corrupt….both parties are destroying our country. And that is a simple, indisputable fact. So, as long as we are stuck with, and vote within, a 2-party system there is no saving the US from destruction.

There is a fourth reason out there, vague to be sure…kinda lurking in the shadows. It is easy to see, hard to adequately describe, and vehemently debated when brought up. The dark horse to America not being able to be saved is the accelerating rise of authoritarianism in the US. And it is coming from not just from the deepstate, but also from both parties. And remember this…in the entire history of the world, in the totality of mankind, authoritarians have never given up power willingly.

FYI…”Empire” is described as being a major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority. The US covers a huge territory consisting of political units such as states (50), territories (11), and one district. The “single sovereign authority” is the federal government. So the US is by definition an “empire”.
