2024 is here, and I can’t help but wonder if America’s going down the drain in my lifetime. When I was a kid, I never thought we’d end up where we are today. Now, we’ve got guys playing in women’s sports, liberals telling us they’re men while disrespecting actual women. People are wearing masks that barely cover their mouths and noses for a common cold, and illegal aliens are swarming children’s schools while our kids are stuck at home.

We’re on a path that looks pretty damn irreversible, and let’s be real, I don’t think either side wants to turn back. One side’s all about men being women, common colds being death sentences, and acting like the rest of the world’s problems matter more than our own.

So, what’s next? How’s this mess gonna play out? I doubt there’ll be a fair split. Honestly, with these questionable elections and the so-called uni-party pushing for absolute power, it seems like we’re heading for some serious cracks. I’m not even sure a war’s gonna be the breaking point. Maybe it’ll be California or New York flipping the bird to the Constitution and becoming their own dictatorships. Or perhaps our monstrous federal debt will force us to pawn off Alaska to Russia.

Over time, maybe the South or states that still believe in the Constitution and old-school American values will say, “Screw this,” and secede. I think Texas flirts with that idea every few years. All I know is, we’ve got two sides that can’t agree on jack, and something’s gotta give.

I don’t know when or how, but I’m convinced that in my lifetime, America won’t be the same as when I was a kid. I hope to hell I’m wrong, and we can get back to the glory days of the ’80s and ’90s. But it seems like one side’s following the rules while the other’s all about Marxism, causing chaos, taxing us into oblivion, and sending our hard-earned cash to foreign lands. And let’s not even get started on what they’re doing with our kids.

I’m praying we can change course and get back to a time when people were decent and kind. But some folks are still scared witless of COVID and getting more booster shots than they’ve had birthdays.
