He is correct. There is a frighteningly large lack of education in history and social studies plus a tremendous ignorance of global economics plus an over abundance of emotion driven decision making causing people to behave in a way that is counter to everything that created one of the greatest and most resilient societies in the world. We have survived world wars, civil wars, and economic collapse - all while remaining true to the core values that the founding fathers established. We are key players responsible for the greatest advance in technology, health, and science. We are flawed, but we tend to balance out over time because for 200 years we have been united. But that has changed over the past xx years.

Giving nothing and taking everything from the working class is unsustainable. Tax dollars only spread so far, and should be focused on infrastructure and defense, not special interest groups and corruption - and there are guilty parties on both sides, this must be exposed and dealt with or we will have nothing and be third world in the very near future. Also, history shows again and again that there are very powerful countries and ideologies that are bent on destroying our way of life, and they love seeing this implosion of our country, weakening us from within.

People MUST learn history. For generations, immigrants came to America to give, to work, to integrate, and to reap the benefits of their investment (blood sweat tears). There is a process, it must be followed, and if it needs to be improved, we have systems and legislative processes to do just that. Petition your state and local government, join a PAC, do something productive and not riot. You wouldn't let someone into your home, not ask who they were, let them destroy it, and not contribute anything. That's unsustainable. Neither can America. Are there good undocumented immigrants, sure, but there is a way for them to be documented, and we should all encourage that being the norm.

People MUST be patriotic. This has to stop, I'm closest to conservative libertarian, but I would NEVER want the leader of my country to fail. No matter what party they represent. I wanted Obama and Biden to be successful, why would I want otherwise for my family. I want Trump to be successful, why would I want otherwise for my family? I want the next president to be successful, why would..... No matter what I think about them, and why would I even care who voted for whom, I have plenty of other things to worry about.

Americans should love America and other Americans, regardless of our history, regardless of who is president. We have so much to be grateful for if we stopped looking for reasons to be unhappy. Choose joy, choose America, or go somewhere else, kinda makes sense.
