America, although mush maligned these days, is still being supported by some epic folks. I agree 100%. America, while being systematically destroyed, will come to discover the reasons why it exists in the first place. Those who seek to destroy us are strong but driven by such spectacular evil they will fail.

KW - I have created a modified version of your paragraph and made it a quote:

"America, although much maligned these days, is still being supported by some epic folk. While being systematically destroyed, America will discover why she exists in the first place. Those who seek to destroy us are strong but driven by such spectacular evil, and they will fail."

Here is the draft:

Thsnk you. Great post. And thanks so much for changing my “mush” to “much”. I still have some bones to pick with my spell checker.

Now if my spell checker could just spell much without making mush.

Fingers are faster than my editing skills, apparently. My apologies.

Yes, well mine too. I blame spell checkers but then....

Substack itself is a key piece of evidence in support of the argument made here. Bravo!!!

Thank you so much, Ken. And yes, Substack has been a great avenue for free speech and the exchange of ideas, a sign of a strong nation setting sail through a stormy sea of oppression and conformity.

Jenna, your post is a positive message. Nothing is ever going to be same. Going back is not an option. We must move forward to make things better. This wrong direction that we have made is a sign that we are still on our journey. Your closing statement says it all. “America isn’t weak because of our imperfections; it is strong because we seek to overcome them.” Well said & Thank you…

I appreciate your insight; we can't go back. We can use our past as a guide and a way to inform our path forward, but regression shouldn't be proposed as a failsafe. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts!
