Everyone can see it.  The left just chooses to ignore or downplay the unraveling.  Afterall, we must hit rock bottom before a reset can occur.           

As a proud liberal leftist, I would love to know precise specifics of what is unraveling... I mean beyond the death and doom pouring out of one candidate.

Try to be honest... try to explain how your life or the lives of your family friends and neighbors is heading for the crapper. A repeat of T's platitudes just won't cut it.

Governments around the world have always been at odds. Never more seriously than now. Have you grocery shopped lately? The rent and groceries are too damn high! Free speech in this country is under attack more than I can recall and I'm pretty old. There's more. I got to leave some for others.

If you're old, you'll remember the October 1973 oil crisis. You could line up for hours and still get no gas. World events affect prices... inflation is not a uniquely American phenomenon.

Waiting to hear how your free speech has been stepped on.

I'll be 70 in 3 days. Are you unaware the FBI paid FB millions to censor speech? Are you unaware Twitter severely censored conservative speech and was directed by the US govt to squelch certain criminal activity conducted by certain politicians and their families? Attempts to manipulate our elections affects me, you, and all of us.

Oh yeah, I'll gladly go back to that outrageous 50 cents a gallon gasoline of 1973.

At least the '73 fuel crisis was caused by OPEC and not our own internal policies.

I hear claims made by you and many others. I see no validation.

Crime stats are worthless since some states and large cities decided reporting crimes and collecting the data isn't necessary or desired. People who live there know better. People who spout off about crime being down are lying politicians and their lackeys.

Dont forget they also wont use crime stats because the stats are racist since most of the crimes were committed by blacks and illegals but you cant speak that because the truth hurts feelings and is a conspiracy by the whites

Only slightly biased and more than a hint of racism. Maybe check out the ethnicity of the majority of mass shooters in the last 20 years.

Political Posturing. Violent Crime in the USA has been steadily declining since 1990.
