See reply to tanktop. Just because I don't believe the American Empire as currently constituted survives, or is even worth saving doesn't mean i've abandoned all hope. I just choose to place my hope, my faith in more intimate forms of organization than a country of 330 million cats that are running in every direction at once.
The truth can only offend those who live a lie.
I'm a boomer and I would suggest that most of us are far more patriotic than the current generations who have been subject to lives filled with leftist propaganda. At this point boomers cannot be the ones providing leadership. Our time has passed. We will help and fight politically, but it is up to the current generations to take the lead.
Some boomers are skeptical as we watch the country devolve while the younger generations seem to look the other way.
Who is providing the only leadership we have? Donald Trump from the Boomer generation. Where are the X and Millenial Gens?
We older patriots are waiting for Patriotic leadership from the younger generations to take over the promise of America. We don't see it, that's why you get this:
"The American Empire is gone. The sooner people figure that out the better. Its about You and Yours at this point."

Sorry but that is the typical attitude I see from boomers lately. Even my own parents which is a bit irritating. Me and mine and my social security. Boomers control 90% of the country and were driving the bus to this place we are at right now.
While I sort of understand the argument, I don't think this is generational. My wife's cousins were raised in the nicest Chicago suburbs all of them were adopted from all over the world and brought up by a lawyer and a doctor. All of them were given at least a Lexus to drive in highschool and yet they cry racism because now that they've graduated college they actually have to put in work to maintain their status. I think that people just think that they deserve something... If you don't understand personal responsibility then you're probably apart of the problem.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
To be fair, Trump's leadership throughout all of this has been abysmal. I do believe he is working on something very big though behind the scenes with Operation Legend and the like.
I'm a millennial, and many of my generation have zero work ethic and zero leadership skills. Also, the "Okay boomer" bullshit is one of the most annoying things ever created on the internet.
98% Sarcastic. 100% Overthinking things and making up reasons for buying a new firearm.

Where is post-boomer leadership? What?
Look at the Senate, with an average age of 61. They won’t get out of the way.
In the House, you have an average of <58.
The younger boomer is 56.
So realistically, I wouldn’t even say that Gen X and Millenials are absent. Marco Rubio should have been President, and Ted Cruz (my choice) would also have been Gen X, he isn’t even 50.
Imma go back to “get out of the way.”
