How does it not? Strong man=masculineNo I didn't. I said the appetite for a "strong man" type leader is troubling.
It has nothing to do with gender. Are you some kind of SJW?

You need to research this……Wow. 1904
Before the discover of "oil". Seems mostly irrelevant today then.

Decline is a relative term. We won't decline in absolute terms anytime soon.Economically and militarily we’ll still be a force to reckon with for decades to come.
Declining yes….but we’ve been the apex dog for damned near a century so there really is nowhere to go but down….
You’re disgusting#4: Have you seen what's happening on the southern border?
Now’s not the time to sell. It’ll be a classic head and shoulders pattern.Ray Dalio’s new book sure layed out a great case that America is on the decline.

Inflation is nothing more than glorified slave labor. What's going on today is no different than the failures of greediness that led to the fall of the Roman Empire. The powers and elites who govern are stealing more and more of the peasants labor and time to simply barter for the things we need in life.#1 could also be be included in the problems if you include reliance on low-paid, unskilled labor which is showing itself currently with the labor shortage, the supply chain issues.

Is anyone in chains and shackles? Of course not - but look at the whole national labor force from a broad, eye-in-the-sky perspective - the government is stealing the most valuable thing we have in life - our time.
Since the US dollar is no longer backed by gold and silver, the only thing propping it up is the back of the working man.
I pretty much agree. It might be a good thing that we aren't top dog.I see the U.S. going the route of the U.K. Still strong but not what it used to be.
Rome at the end had constant warfare. po has extreme internal divisions which I think is the #1 threat.

Rome died from internal conflict which cause the end of the Paroahs. Like the demise of Nicholas Romanov Czarist Russia ended the Romanov dynasty, the last true royal dynasty. Governmental rule in both cases (Pharoah and Emperor/Czar) lasted thousands of years.
There's an interesting theory about lead poisoning from water pipes being one of the issues that led to the collapse by exacerbating existing societal issues. It's far from provable but it's a fascinating thought experiment, especially when you look at violent crime rates during the era of, and directly after, leaded fuel being used.I thought Rome declined because of constant warfare??

Is the American empire mentioned in the Bible prophecies?
You ever suck some phallus for marijuana?Yes, this is the passage.
Robert 4:20
We’ve got laughs from coast to coast
To make you smile
A real life look at each of you
To capture all that style
You’re the red, white and blue
The funny things you do
America, America this is you
Stories from your friends next door
They never told
You might be a star tonight
So let that camera roll
You’re the red, white and blue
Oh the funny things you do
America, America this is you
Yes, this is the passage.

There's an argument that empires tend to last about 250 years. I think it is debatable whether the US was really an empire 250 years ago. Some would argue they didn't become an empire until the war with Spain, others would suggest when they took control of most of the current lower 48. Some would argue that the US wasn't a real force until World War II.Most historians have the Roman Empire lasting
about 500 years. (27 B.C. to 476 A.D.)
Some of the factors which led to the Fall of the
Roman Empire:
1. Overreliance on slave labor
2. Inflation and military overspending
3. Government corruption & instability
4. Invasions by barbarian tribes
America has been in existence for about 250
years and we now have problems with #2 & #3
as listed above.

One thing to consider is that collapse of an empire doesn't necessarily mean complete collapse of the society. In fact it often doesn't.
We seem to have lost our patriotism. If we ever went to war, I question how many people would willingly fight for our country. Apparently America is just a racist and bigoted country.Rome at the end had constant warfare. America has extreme internal divisions which I think is the #1 threat.
It’s a little more than that.Well it's a natural product of the us vs them politics.
Kinda touches on why toxic masculinity is a thing—his misreading that in the manner he did.How about you explain how you came up with this idiotic response?
