re: Regardless of your political affiliation what concerns you most today?

The inevitability of Systematic breakdown with millions of heathen immigrants who hate Americans for the good life that we have long enjoyed. I suspect there are about 10% that fit this mold, and that is more than enough to wreak serious harm. That's the Worldly viewpoint. Throw in Religion and it gets much worse, before getting better.

Bass, think you hit the nail on the head. As a never-trumper, we might disagree on the small details of each point.

I think these are some things that have been plaguing us and most governments.

GOV. inefficacy. I think we could pay for a lot of even the more liberal stuff, without going into major debt, If we didn't waste so much money on needless things within a particular department.

Victimhood: If you are told you are a victim and "it's not fair" over and over you are far more likely to fall through the cracks. So much easier to become a Junky if you think there is no way up.

Looking down at physical labor. The whole world would fall apart if not for men who do things that most look down at. And thus they aren't paid their worth. Not everyone should be racking up debt going to traditional college. People say Americans don't want to do the work. No it's they don't want to do it and not be able to afford a house a car and a normal American life.

Those are a few off the top. Not necessarily tho Most.

2) Mass cultural Marxist indoctrination of children and young adults via the US educational system.

This one causes most of the other issues. In pre and post WW2 USA, the communists tried to use class to advance their agenda. It failed mostly due to a large American middle class. They have re-packaged their agenda using racism and fighting white supremacy as their "cause". Not surprisingly, blacks overwhelming support this along with naive, well intentioned whites.

Hiring based off diversity instead of qualifications. Liberals love discrimination against wypepo.

I’m sure your tribe is the right/good/best one.

Many things that are related to the democrats... But terrorist attacks... Remember there a few tons of fertilizer that disappeared w/o a trace last year(?)... We have no idea who or what has come across the border..

1. Groups of blacks (female or male).
1a. Groups of male goat frickers.
2. Federal debt and the diminishing value of my 401k.
3. Government corruption and the corrupt police state.
4. Riots, unfettered looting, and insurrection in the suburbs.
5. Severe miscalculation at the highest levels of government.
6. The immoral assault against the foundations of our society; Christian teachings of morals & respect for social boundaries, success through work and effort, and a government that isn't omnipotent.
7. The illegal immigration problem
8. Protection of critical infrastructure (power, water, transportation) against assault.
9. Voter laws by Dems that create loopholes for illegal votes to poison the well of legitimate votes.
10. The LGBTQ indoctrination crusade.

The treason in DC, by both parties.

A very large war

This goes back to the original list. Fact is, if there's a large war, we really don't have to participate unless our crooked politicians really want us to. We're surrounded by two ocean moats protected by the most potent maritime force force in human history, the United States Navy. Plus, we're completely independent in terms of agriculture and energy when asshats in Washington aren't intentionally hamstringing us. No country, or collection of countries, has the naval and sealift capability to bring a military to our shores. Even if they could, they'd be cut to pieces by our Army, National Guard, and armed Americans almost immediately. War coming to our homeland via a foreign military isn't even a possibility.

1. Massive illegal immigration and a response that seems more like foul play than incompetence.

2. Our seemingly inevitable march towards corporate feudalism and a new Dark Age.

3. (Related) The Pandora's box of AI and AI algorithms coming down the pipe.

4. (Also related) Staggering lack of antitrust law and inability of the law in general to appropriately handle modern technology, as evidenced by the last decade of social media and data collection practices.

5. The amount of people openly against responsibly managing the climate. Not neutral, but actively hostile. We don't have to neuter industry to make an impact, but tons of people act like we can go back to clear cutting and rivers that catch on fire. Planting a tree won't kill you, come on.
