The Fall of the American Empire

One thing that history has taught us is that most human empires do not fail simply due to external threats, but because of internal weakness, government corruption, political instability, and a loss of traditional values and ideals that the empire once espoused. Enter America, the last standing empire. An empire which is on its last legs. An empire experiencing the death throes of a failing state, something seen by every fallen empire that came before it. America is on the brink of collapse. On 6th January 2021, supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory. The media of course are blaming Trump. They are calling for his removal. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Donald Trump has committed “an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people” and has called on Vice-President Mike Pence to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Some in the media and congress seem to think that if Donald Trump is removed, everything will just go back to normal. Well, I think we all know that they’re kidding themselves. The United States of America is no longer united. It is now a nation divided. Red vs Blue, which has been increasingly played up by the media, is destroying America. Increasingly red states dislike blue states and blue states dislike red states. It IS a nation divided. America has long been successful because of its stable political democracy. Voters knew that if they didn’t like the government, they could vote them out. Democracy responds to voters. As long as the citizenry sincerely believe that they can change things by voting, then they live happy and prosperous lives. They stay calm taking comfort in the fact that the voter ultimately has power. But the opposite it also true. If people believe that their voting system is fraudulent. If they believe that their vote doesn’t count. If they believe that a select group of powerful individuals are in control of the government and are manipulating the results, people will riot. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing in America. That’s what we’ve been seeing in America. Both sides of politics are feeling that the system is failing them. Americans have no option but to work it out. If they don’t, well simply put, America will go the way of all the other empires that came before it. It will fall. Is this the beginning of the end? I suspect that it is.
