Maybe but also factor in that people have been predicting the downfall of the USA since the 1960s.

Absolutely. In the video, he comments on that . Downfalls can take decades or even centuries of bad decisions.
That is why I doubt there will be a catastrophic fall for decades to come.
The USSR ended in 1991 and the russian federation, while still in a downward spiral, has not fallen yet. If not for the Ukraine was it would likely have continued for a long time.
I think environmental catastrophe might accelerate that timetable
Jesus's return tour has been delayed since the year 1000. I don't listen to the doomsayers. While I see the traditional American lifestyle ending there won't be a hard collapse. Cities are already evolving and the rural areas whose conservative values helped cause this mess are dying.
Thoughts and prayers
And look how it went...
Is the USA worse off than in the 1960s?
I'd say so
You must not be a minority or a woman or lgbtq or sick or poor or on the roadways or on a plane...etc
For sure! That dumb shit loser George WMD Bush kicked that shit off into high gear after Reagan, Daddy Bush, and Weirdo Clinton ruined our global standing.
Fuck the elites and their shitshow.
Edit: BTW what we have isn’t capitalism it’s psycho capitalism. Basically the wrong people are in charge. ELITES. Shit bags. Losers. Black sheep fucks. Communism has that too. The reality is nothing works if it’s corrupt so arguing that capitalism vs communism are the problem is myopic as fuck. Shut up. It’s not either or. It’s corruption and shit bag elites who DIDNT EARN THEIR PLACES.
Yes, absolutely
I sure hope so. can it end NOW please? I am so done.
The problem is billionaires will squeeze every last drop out of everything before the inevitable kaboom
