It's an interesting question and one pondered for years. I have come to the conclusion that those born after the 1960's are not loyal to the nation by the same standards as those born prior to the 60's. In fact, I've heard many 20-, 30-, and even 40-somethings claim that they hold no particular allegiance to this country as they consider it to be imperialistic, dishonest, exploitive, war-mongering, and devious.
But we older citizens must realize that the younger generations have not had the benefit of time, wisdom, and many have not had the experience of warfare and soldiering, nor the benefit of an educational system that taught "Republic" vs. "Democracy." They believe their country to be a democracy, and at the same time know very well that it is not. They have also been raised on a steady dose of unscrupulous and lying governance, and this they know as well.
Younger generations are not enamored with Capitalism, politics, democracy, or faith. Today's younger generations are largely atheistic by educational design and disgusted with leadership, religion, and their historical lies and manipulations. Sometimes we tend to think they are simply disinterested and apathetic, but the fact is they are all too savvy when it comes to the sick joke of all forms of aristocratic governance and control of the masses.
The older generations, the ones who spearheaded the globalist movement albeit by manipulation, and also the resulting protest movement, are also disappointed people. We were betrayed by the ones we elected — betrayed. It's a bitter pill to swallow, because much like our younger countrymen we did not act responsibly with our freedoms. We took them for granted, and then became enamored of televised entities that turned out to be liars, thieves, cheaters, and conquerors. We also fully supported the fully corrupt two-party system.
We, the older generations, and the largest voting body in America, elected and re-elected the men and women who, year by year, executive order after executive order, signing statement by signing statement, directive by directive, proclamation by proclamation, treaty by treaty, appointee by appointee, and act by act disassembled the United States of America and the American Constitution. Today the younger generations think of us as ignorant, manipulated, sell-outs, and corrupted fools. Truth hurts, doesn't it?
The Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers have a heavy burden to bear, because it was under our watch that the deceivers smiled and grinned their ways into full-blown national destruction mode. We elected the Socialist globalists into our nation's most powerful positions, or to put it more honestly and plainly, we elected the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations’ handpicked candidates over and over and over again (and continuing to do so), to our economic and historic demise.
Equally, and in many ways, the Greatest Gen and Boomers sold their souls for appearances, credit, investment accounts, luxury retirement, and in imitation of the elite. It's a sad state of affairs, a bitter story, and a guilt that is undeniably ours to bear. But, forward we must go, and we need our youth to help us though they have every substantial reason not to trust our naivety, our politics, or our decisions. After all, we dumped this terrible mess on their shoulders while telling them they were living the good life. Now they are paying the price for our ignorance with their lives in foreign nations and strapped to insurmountable and lifelong debt. America did not start corroding five years ago. It's been corroding for a century, and that places the blame and the burden on us. We were supposed to prize, cherish, and protect our freedom and the freedom of our children. We were supposed to take care of our nation. Instead, we elected and stood 100% behind her destroyers and, as we well know, many of us still do.
Many younger Americans believe America needs to change — completely and permanently. Hence, the Socialists, who were always around our corners, simply walked in and set up charismatic shop — as in the entire American public school system, the "environmental," land-stealing, land trust movement, and the “greater good” morality to manipulate the masses straight out of their rights to FREEDOM. And many of the middle to upper-middle class Americans, particularly those who instantly fell for the "eco-friendly" and policed communities, are now so financially polluted that they can think of nothing but their dire straits, their distracting screen addictions, and their pretend country clubs and day-spas. In my book, these people are out to lunch, vacant, and unreachable. Equally, they live in America's forthcoming wastelands (and I do mean forthcoming).
Again, I say to the Greatest Generation and the Boomers, we have an impossible task before us — the United Nations, the World Bank, the IMF and BIS, the World Trade Organization, Agenda 21 and sustainability, the global land trust scams, corporate and financial dictatorship, all-encompassing technology-based privacy infringements, a transformed and gullible American population, and so very many global enemies — of which, now, we know why. What are the chances to regain our Republic and our Constitution, while we face "internationalized" policing forces, super viruses, and breaking news pandemic and cyber warnings? Slim chances...but try, we must. America was slaughtered under our watch. She was.
So, the original question — do American people care if America ends? Today, I'd say the answer is 50/50 at best, but that may be another stupid assumption on this gray-haired lady's part. God knows I've made more foolish political assumptions than this, but to my countrymen of all ages, let us disappoint them, for they have always counted on our ignorance, our apathy, our cultural addictions, and their masterful propaganda. We must disappoint them. We have no choice. And to our younger American generations, please accept our sincerest apologies. We were wrong — albeit manipulated — and incredibly stupid. Please, don't follow suit.
