Greetings Bill. America has been some sort of paradise. We are blessed with the best piece of real estate on the planet, bar none. We have a flawed system of government but it is much better than anything else that has ever been tried. These two facts have attracted all sorts of people fleeing authoritarian governments and poor economies. It's hard to f up that combination but the socialists and globalists are trying very hard. IF they succeed it will happen long before 2035. Forget about "other countries for more freedom, higher wages, and a better life overall" if America goes down the toilet so will everyone else. Of course, that won't affect the globalist/socialist elite. It appears remote but if Texas secedes, a lot of other states in "fly over country" will follow and I'll be moving to Texas for sure.
I haven't yet given up on the ballot box but the next two elections are do or die.
