Question 1 Why are we at this point of falling into a bottomless pit?

Because we have permitted it to happen and not doing a damn thing about ANY of this bullshit that just gets deeper every single day. It's getting very close to the point when it's going to be an "all" or a continued "nothing" moment. "All" meaning 'just do it.' "Nothing" meaning where we are now and becoming worse.

Question 2 What can be done to prevent it?

The options are civil war, revolution, or states seceding. Whatever it is, a whole lot of courage is required, because strong action is needed to save this country from total ruination. If there are other options, I welcome to hear them.

One thing is for certain, MEN have to initiate it. That's just the way it is, that's the way God wanted it and made it. So, all we need are good MEN to start rebuilding a toppled brick house. There will be plenty of good WOMEN available who will add the mortar to keep it standing.
