Original caption
They say empires only last 250 years… Our feeds are flooded with slop urging us to buy this narrative that America is in decline and that its collapse is certain… our politics is flooded with people either convinced our president is a fascist or those who think he can do no wrong…
and you know what, maybe our country isn’t in the best shape, perhaps both sides have some valid points worth considering… but when the hell have our imperfections ever stopped us before? And America has always been more than a single man or leader… I mean hell, we founded this nation in response to our dissatisfaction with a leader… we’ve been here before…
I’m not a betting man, but even if I was, I’d never bet against us.
Since our founding, America has been a never ending pursuit of better, a perpetual cycle of hitting rock bottom and coming back stronger… from every new generation emerges the next great American comeback….
and that next generation is here. — #politics #History #america #usa
