What have Americans done during this time?

To me, this is the problem... it's not "time"... it's that Americans seem to expect someone else will take the risk, pay the cost and do the hard work for them

Currently every excuse Americans seem to put up revolves around the idea they will not act unless someone else provides them with a solution that is:

  • risk free

  • cost nothing

  • immediately effective

  • permanent

  • solved ALL problems and corollaries

  • will give them 100% of the credit

Anything not marking ALL those boxes, they are not willing to do and would rather continue their (not-so) slow decline forever

    Liberals do what liberals have always done. They want leftists to do the actual hard work, the grunt work to getting politicians off the ground and then they can ride our coattails as if they have supported us the entire time.
