And if we are declining, as almost everybody here but me has been saying up until now, then the regeneracy does not have to be progressive or positive at all. It could well be 1933, but 1933 in Nazi Germany. Make American Great Again! Down we go.It is my understanding that a regeneracy, which I have been trying to consult the oracle on and better understand because I believe it is well underway with this election, is where the collective psyche takes hold and the patterns that will shape the coming crisis are formed with the pieces being put out on the playing board.
I find it interesting that you say it doesn't have to be positive or more specifically, "progressive" because personally I do not find a lot of "progressive" philosophy to be a positive. I believe a lot of what made this nation "great" in the sense that most think of it, is that people had the opportunity to make something of themselves, for themselves, by themselves. This is in contrast to what I see as the progressive which to me looks like an attempt to equalize the outcome through the force of government, which to me is very much the opposite of the American spirit. To me the "progressive" result can be seen in Europe and I really don't like it and it is not what I want America to become.
I get that you live in CA as do my in laws and I've been there and I understand that the fundamental philosophies are different and incompatible.
