Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.
— Robert Frost
Gerard Van der Leun
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

Just imagine what the next generation after this one will be like.
Will the be a next generation?
Ghost, I believe there will be another generation and really stretching it, maybe two, but that should end it for the US. A dominant military power will likely invade and take control. BLM and antifa types, people of faith and those who physically resist will be included within the initial extermination, politicians of every stripe and people who act like this will be included within the second round, and so forth. Those who survive had better have some kind of productive job skill and a clean record of civility.
I cannot see an actual military invasion. That might be the one thing that would actually unite the country. I could see with liberal weenies in control the opening of borders to a point that most major cities and the greater southwest would become somewhat overrun and lawless. Plus defund cops. Whites would leave and you would have a real mess in those areas. Instead of division of states into formal breakup of the US, I think we are more likely to see basic laws and individual property rights ignored. Run the cops out, ignore what is going on, and you get major mahem. Otro vez, again, Whitey will flee and congregate in more friendly AOs. The quality of life will deteriorate for everyone, for sure. In these states or major cities overrun with illegals and no law you will realize your tax base will have hauled ass a long time ago. The federal gubmint can raise taxes but only on people with any money left. This can turn into Venezuela in a decade or so. Entropy, I think is the word that I was seeking.
