2. I think it's happening now.

The only way to reverse it is to reign in the ability of people on social media to pass around false information. A country cannot exist when a large portion of the populace cannot discern what is fact and what is false.

Huge chunks of people in our country also don't care about our government and how it operates. Either that or they're ignorant to it. We're more concerned about who the masked singer is than who the senate majority leader is. I recently heard that only 8 states require a civics course in order to graduate high school. It shows.

I fully expect to see the implosion of this country in my lifetime. Good thing I'll only have a few years left to suffer under it.
