2022 is much more dangerous for a number of reasons:
1.) The freedom of ALL Americans is at stake now. From government handouts that take food out of the mouths of those that EARNED it and giving it to those who didn't to stealing away the livelihood of hard working Americans by making them close their businesses, from being able to defend oneself, even when your life is threatened, only with government approval, to stealing away rights, like the clearly defined 1st and Second amendments. The government is telling when we can work, how we can work, and where we can work.
2.) Domestic security is disappearing. From hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to "flash mobs" to murders on the rise, to Antifa/BLM riots and looting, we are simply not safe anymore.
3.) National Defense is all but gone. The Afghanistan fiasco made it clear to all American citizens and to the world that America is cowardly, unwilling do even defend its own citizens, let alone its allies. America is now a submissive victim in the worlds and "ripe for the picking".
4.) The American economy is tanking under the weight of historic levels of inflation government spending, and the effects of socialism, which gives free money to people so they no longer need to work.
5.) Lying has become the norm so trust in government is disappearing. As government makes the mistakes outlined above, they distract our attention with lies about a protest, calling it an "insurrection". Government hides behind such lies, avoiding responsibility for, well, everything.
All of these conditions make 2022 much more dangerous than 1860. But it gets worse.
- No aggressive enemies were expanding across the globe in 1960. Now we have China and Russia.
- Our enemies in 1860 did not have nuclear weapons.
I pity today's youth.
They will (probably) see horror the world has never seen before.
