Gloom hangs over “The Empire”: Most Americans say US at ‘lowest point’ in history

These words now echo loudly over the entire landscape of American politics and security…. America is bringing about political gloom. Here politicians are unable to carve out a future for America.”-Chp.48(tfoa)

This is what we were told to expect. Now the gloom has reached unheard proportions. Failure and dismay is everywhere.

The dissatisfaction and desperation of the people is growing by the hour. They see a corrupt government that doesn’t yield to commonsense. They see their position, economically, culturally, educationally, politically, and militarily/geopolitically crashing and burning globally.

It doesn’t look good for the empire. The people of the empire are restless. This means that revolution and/or insurrection is the order of the day.

No one is satisfied with American governance. No one is satisfied with how she carries on dometically and in her foreign affairs. We have reached the point of explosion.

A majority of Americans say they are “stressed” about the future of the US and think the current period is the “lowest point” in the country’s history, according to a new poll.

The American Psychological Association survey found that 59 percent of people said they consider this the “lowest point in US history that they can remember,” a figure spanning every generation, including those who lived through World War II and the Vietnam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the September 11 terrorist attacks.

A slightly larger percentage, 63 percent, say they are stressed about the nation’s future, according to the poll. Nearly 60 percent of respondents said they were stressed about the social divisiveness in the country today.

The most common issues causing stress when thinking about the nation are health care (43 percent), the economy (35 percent), trust in government (32 percent), hate crimes (31 percent) and crime (31 percent), wars/conflicts with other countries (30 percent), and terrorist attacks in the United States (30 percent).

About one in five Americans cited unemployment and low wages (22 percent), and climate change and environmental issues (21 percent) as issues causing them stress.

A USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll released last month found that Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of US President Donald Trump and believe he is leading the country in the wrong direction.

The poll also found that most Americans disagree with Trump on just about everything from his military threats against North Korea to his combative stance toward US football players who won’t stand for the national anthem.
