Maybe we've just run the course here. We only became a superpower because of the conflicts of other nations. We used to have solid reasons to lend creedence to the idea of American exceptionalism. We surrendered that a long time ago.
Now, thanks to the dismantling of our education system, we have a country full of really stupid people. That in itself might be ok - other countries are full of shitheads, too - but ours are proud of it, and virulently anti-intellectual as well. They're not fit to do much of anything but fantasize and complain.
I just don't see it working out anymore. I don't think the US is worth a whole lot to rest of the world anymore. We're just bullies with bombs now.
Maybe it's just over.

Editing to note my mother is only 18 years older than me, born in 1980. So not poisoned with lead or something, just her own decisions.

Like one day just whoops by. It’s kind of like a simulation everything happens in a loop and there is very little room for change.

Especially as an adult is appears more that way
