My view, reflected in my articles published over the years, is that the United States ceased to exist decades ago.  It is only the foundational strength of the country put in place by great men, such as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and James Madison, that has kept the image alive of a functioning country. The house that sat on the foundation long ago washed away in the flood of anti-American propaganda from the self-hating white liberal elites who dominate education, media, and government. Today the statues of our great founders are themselves pulled down and desecrated by the ignorant products of American education.

Fifteen months ago, I posted a column, "Western Culture Has Died a Politially Correct Death" — https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/03/30/western-culture-has-died-a-politically-correct-death/ .  Nothing could be more obvious today.  George Floyd, a felon, misogynist woman abuser who killed himself with an overdose of Fentanyl, has been elevated into a national hero.  The police officer restraining him when he self-desructed is charged with murder.
