The Trans Movement Just Hit Home.......

For all we know in 2028 a democrat could be running on a platform of pardoning all the parents who let their kids transition when it was against the law.  They're political prisoners, after all right?

I also don't get why we are suddenly acting like social media and outside sources aren't filling us with a bunch of information about everything and anything and the idea that anything trans is a bridge too far.  One could argue that you comparing this to the fall of Rome could be attributed to you letting social media play an undue role on the way you perceive things.

Then again, maybe my inability to grasp how this is going to usher in the fall of our nation is a sign of my own biased view of the world thanks to the specific brand of "reality" I'm being fed.

There's a reason that our military budget is astronomical, and that reason is because the US is "expected" to be the protectors of the free world.  We are now in a period where the armed forces are struggling and in some instances failing to meet recruiting numbers.  We live in a country so comfortable that our young are not willing to sign up to defend, that is a warning signal.  That in itself isn't the barometer of failure that I'm leaning toward as much as our youth are more caught up in social issues that they no longer care about being a part of keeping those rights to do so sovereign.  

Your failure to recognize that the US is currently in a parallel situation as Rome under the rule of Caligula, is just baffling to me.
