1607, europeans land in North America and establish a colony.

@GuyWithOpinions What about the Italian Columbus and the Spaniards?

The Vikings made it to North America. And other English settlers before Jamestown. Vikings would have stayed but it wasn't working out with the natives.

In the 70s when corporate earnings were allowed to grow faster than wages. Been doing so for 60 years.
Still the best country in the world

The first Bush administration could be seen as the start of the decline of America

@idontcareok Just got one that made me realize the stupidity of the current US government.

1876. Benjamin Franklin gave USA 100 years before its decline would begin. Custer's last stand at the Battle of Little Bighorn marked this occasion.

2016 (first time Trump was elected) then 2024 (second time Trump was elected).

Once corporations started to think they were the government...
Mmiker · 46-50, M
@Convivial unfortunately true. Greediness.

@Convivial Corporations including religions.

One person put it correctly when the Europeans first landed on these lands.

But we know what you mean!

Trump becoming president in 2016 is the answer for current days.

I think all U.S. Presidents have their fault about things but I think Bush Administration, Biden Administration, Trump Administration are all running a close race about doing things to screw America over.

It takes no effort to go down hill but much effort to go up hill.
The moment happened innocently but hilariously enough: when President Obama made fun of Donald Trump at the best White House Correspondents' Dinner of all time I'm convinced DJT decided then and there to run for POTUS just to get even with those who laughed at him.

The fun starts at 2:27 - - -

Some time during Ronald Reagan's presidency. That's when the Republicans started the march towards Authoritarianism, though it was a slow march before Trump.

1973 when the value of human life was no longer respected and abortion mills started operating.

Or maybe back in 1960 when people threw away sexual morality and just went on the pill so they did not have to be responsible

When it started to become a dictatorship, performing genocides on the North American Indians, killing a president for exposing the Operation North woods, countless digital spying they do today, it's the only reason we have internet, so they can control us like zoo animals.

Think about how much stuff around you is connected to the Internet, smart phones, smart speakers, cars, house, medical devices, even some toilet now. They know everywhere we go, everything we do, when we sleep, what we go to the doctor for, who we talk to, whose are family are friends.

That's not a life, that a caged animal

Everything goes down hill if you throw it away. And even if you leave it be, something will move it, and then it will go down hill.

2016 when Harambe was killed we spiraled into the wrong time line...

It wasn't a moment it’s ongoing systematic intentional internal sabotage by enemies of the country and people are oblivious it’s a two factor thing the education system and the news system which do not have the best interest of the people in mind 😒 they are misguided to a dark degree so our enemies can take over and destroy the country from within . It’s a loss of common sense and morals really
Could have been during the eighties when corporations started deciding that off-shoring manufacturing was the way to go. At the same time, the president was selling the pernicious lie that "tax cuts will pay for themselves!" It's a deadly combo.
Probably at the same time as the two party system began. Now after every election they spend years trying to "drain the swamp" of each others stupidity, fighting each other for every change and never actually accomplishing anything.

When we started stupidity be the norm. No bail, open borders, children having sex changes it was a slow cook but we are about done.
@houseonfire good thing at least two of those never happened.
