>>379799We've had our ups and downs. That being said the turning point for this country was before 1965.
Consider executive order 6102 in 1933 where FDR, one of this nation's greatest traitors criminalized gold holdings and went around confiscating gold from private citizens.
I'd say the last 100 years have been pretty shit all around in terms of the direction of our government. We survive off of sheer momentum. But if those fucks in Washington have their way we'll grind to a screeching halt.
