What year or age did you first realize...
the country/world was going to hell in a handbasket.
For me, it was when I learned that kids could call child protective services on their parents for spanking them. I'm not sure of the year. Possibly late 70s early 80s. |

That would be 1981 when the debt hit one trillion. I made my first post on a political forum warning people of the consequences and was called a Glenn Beck wacko.

Same.
What opened my eyes was seeing cops commit perjury in court. Wasn't hard to prove. Their own verbal testimony was at odds with the written report. They said what they knew was required to win the case and the judge ignored the lies. Probably because he slept through a majority of the trial. I determined people would not support or defend a dishonorable system. Rather they would work to destroy it and the end was only a matter of time |

Mid to late 80s when affirmative action and NAFTA was killing the auto and trucking industries.

1967. That when my father found out he had been put on the FBI watch list by LBJ because he refused to rejoin the USMC and go to Vietnam.

So yeah, that's about when I realized this world ain't getting any better anytime soon. Of course, parents were unionized liberals, so no sympathy from me, for the mess they created. |

When they banned prayer in schools.
When I was in elementary school(in the early-mid 80s), we would line up before lunch and have a quiet prayer time before leaving for the lunch room. We also said the pledge of allegiance every morning before class. Then liberalism... |

When “natural selection” was replaced with the “great society” programs and we began the journey to “Idiocracy”. But I learned about the “how” this occurred, when I learned about the history of money, not exactly sure what year I started? Absolutely shocking how our individual sovereignty was usurped with the introduction of another government controlled “money”. Historically speaking, douchebags never stop trying to take over the world and turning us into slaves. Control over money is always one of the first steps. |

1968, Nixon v. Agnew. That's when I first witnesses institutional corruption. It was in my elementary school.

When Obumble was elected and the day he had the beer with the cop who was accused of being racist for stopping a black man from breaking into his own home. A president getting involved with a local civil matter?? I knew we were ****ed right then.

Obama was the first president, that I remember, to openly vilify the opposing Party. And that occurred a lot sooner than the "stupidly" incident.
