I was just thinking about how most people been hearing America is the number 1 country in the world since they were born. I don't know who the media will blame, but some will start stroking fear.

The average person might not care in the beginning, but once media, and politician starts making people fear I feel people are going to start looking for a "strong man" to save them.

    Yeah, it's kind of scary to think about. I definitely believe Trump's won because in the 5-10 years preceding the 2016 election, evangelicals were getting absolutely rolled in the culture war. Like Nazis in 1945 in Eastern Europe level of getting rolled. Not to mention that's around when churches started really noticing the lack of young people in the pews. Badically, they felt like huge losers. And Trump, with his macho bullying, made evangelicals feel like they weren't huge losers anymore.

    So that's the response by just one group of Americans to their loss of power and privilege. So what happens when it impacts an entire country?
