I agree with ResNullius. We are doomed.

I do not see us getting out from where we are without pain, and a lot of it

My only hope and attempt is that the pain come quickly, and the pain have an more identifiable source -- not Dem not Rep, but progressiveness/liberalism whatever term you want but mostly the false god of phony rights

I want the pain before the underlying systems are all destroyed

It is probably an unrealistic hope, but that is what i am hoping or

Actually, that is my secondary hope, I most hope I am simply wrong, but see no sign of actual progress, except lies about things like unemployment being down and things like that. Nothing is going correctly right now and except for the fact that most places are dumber than us we would be in free fall instead of a steady stumble downhill
