Maybe I went a little too far, but I'm frustrated because America has no reason to be falling apart. Young people aren't getting drafted for an unjust war, people aren't pushing around carts full of worthless currency unable to afford bread. The nation is falling apart because people are believing stupid sh-t on the internet. It's not very compelling in my opinion.
America is falling apart because we have no idea who we are anymore. We have no common enemy like the Soviet Union to define ourselves in opposition to. Big banks and corporations and the government can't be used an excuse when the economy tanks because the economy has been great for the last few decades. We have no common system of values because Christianity has fallen out of favor among a significant percentage of the population. We're formed our own identities, and decided to make enemies amongst each other. Is that stupidity, or just a natural human inclination to find belonging?
We should all have a common enemy, the pastors, even the crazy Goldwater knew the lengths they would go through to destroy the America as we know it.
