The last Gilded Age was followed by a Progressive Era and this one will be too. People will only take so much. America has self-corrected in the past and we’re going to self-correct again.

I hope that you’re right, And I do think that you’re right but I can’t deny that the light is getting dimmer and dimmer daily

The progressive era will not be in America, that will remain a broken empire after it’s fall.

Not with progressives leading the way. Only through conservative morality will we survive.

Followed by going way too far trigging a right wing fascist revolution
