No, American culture had already been in steep decline and decay by 2007.
The 1990s, culminating symbolically in 9/11, marked the end of America as we know it, as it was once understood, the America of popular imagination.
What remains is something else entirely. “Post-America”, perhaps. A different country, a different culture, and most importantly, a different people; each, in most respects, far worse.
BREAKING: A sweaty, agitated Trump screams random buzz words and phrases in under a minute, while a stunned Georgia crowd listens in almost complete awkward silence.

You cannot lower housing costs for young people without destroying millions in wealth for boomers
"Every time you make it more affordable for somebody to own a house cheaply, you are actually hurting the value of those houses. I don't want to do anything to hurt the value of their house.

Our politicians are sacrificing people in their 20s and 30s for the prosperity of boomers
Let that sink in
