I was not alive 40 years ago, but it seems that unless you were a Communist, everyone agreed that the unequivocal enemy of the United States was the Soviet Union. National cohesion meant that having a controversial opinion on this fact was wrong and heretical. Being patriotic was the norm.
20 years later, a decade after the implosion of the Soviet Union, differences in opinion over the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were common. Sure, 9/11 was a tragedy, but were Iraq and Afghanistan really to blame? And was their invasion and prolonged occupation necessary? A fair question posed from fair normies.
Today, 20 years after 9/11, Americans normies have completely lost the plot: the truth is controversial and your fellow citizens are your political enemies. National cohesion has been eroded. The unequivocal enemy of the United States is Communist China, yet normies will say that it is ‘racism’ and Donald Trump: the first, true “America First” president in 40 years.
Culture War
What happened to our national cohesion? (Mass immigration and diversity ideology.)
What is the result of “diversity”? (Discrimination. Segregation. Anti-white racism. Inevitable bloodshed. (No diverse nation has ever escaped this outcome.))
These trends flow from the hearts of the people, influenced by noticeable demographic changes: new immigrants want to benefit materially from America and keep allegiance to their homeland; meanwhile, American citizens have developed an ideology of self-hatred as penance for the "sins" of their ancestors, replacing a normal, national pride. In other words, normie America is being eaten away from the inside.
Changing course is not possible with policy, especially when politicians shill for other interests. American values can only be preserved through tradition, built upon society’s basic unit: the family. Furthermore, the battleground to defend the family begins with a grassroots effort at the local government like school districts and town boards.
Given this 40+ year trend towards today’s anarcho-tyranny, how will America look, and how will Americans behave toward one another in 40 years?
For the sake of future normies that all depends on the actions of patriotic Americans in the present.
