Is America Doomed?

My take on this subject is that our situation is dire, but America is not doomed. It is futile to participate in mainstream politics. And yet, it is also the sensible thing to do.

Basically, I believe in historical cycles. I think a normal historical process is playing itself out. Regimes collapse. It has always been a feature of our history. The American Revolution was the violent end of one regime and the beginning of a new one. The War Between the States was the violent end of one regime and the beginning of a new one. The Great Depression / World War II was the violent end of one regime and the beginning of a new one. We are inside a crisis era at the end of a cycle.

As Nick Griffin explained at The Political Cesspool conference, the post-World War II era is coming to an end. We have spent our entire lives living through this era which has its own unique mindset, morality and art all of which is best understood as an elite reaction to the lessons of World War II. Liberal democracy triumphed and was established as the hegemonic Western ideology in World War II.

In 1700, it probably felt like the Age of Louis XIV would last forever. In 1780 on the cusp of the French Revolution, however, the French court had become dangerously out of touch and isolated at Versailles. It was a relic of a bygone age. Davos is the Versailles of our global liberal elites. Globalist elites gather there every year to brood over the rise of illiberalism and populism in the West. Joe Biden is a walking corpse and his decrepitude is the embodiment of the current exhausted state of Western liberalism.

History shows that the death of the current regime is inevitable, but how that will play out and who will emerge victorious from it is an open question. I think a constitutional crisis is the most likely culprit that will set off the demise of the current regime. I also believe that Donald Trump will play a starring role in bringing about this constitutional crisis in much the same way that Lincoln’s election in 1860 was a result that the Southern elite could not abide. It spiraled from there until the constitutional crisis culminated at Gettysburg and the defeat of the Confederacy. This event led to an era of Northern dominance.

Elections have played a central role in bringing down the previous two American regimes: the election of 1860, which was the catalyst for Southern secession, and the election of 1932, when the Republican Party collapsed for a generation after being discredited by the Great Depression. In the Civil War, the Democrats who had dominated the country in the antebellum era collapsed, which is what opened the door to epoch defining constitutional changes. In the Great Depression, the Republicans collapsed, which is what led to epoch defining constitutional changes. The current crisis is likely to end when something happens that fractures one of the two major parties and temporarily empowers a clear victor.

Every criticism of Donald Trump that I hear in person or on this website or on X is largely true. He thinks he is the King of Israel. He sold out to the big donors. He squandered his first term in office. He does not care about White people. And yet, I still believe that Trump, as a lightning rod and a driver of polarization, is uniquely destabilizing to the system in a way that is not true of Ron DeSantis. I also believe that the way out of this era somehow leads through Trump and the reaction of the forces opposed to him.

So I remain optimistic.

In my lifetime, I believe that I will witness the demise of the current regime, and the birth of the next one. The collapse of a regime is not like, say, the Roman collapse, but the demise of one elite and its replacement by another following a major internal crisis which leads to a new settlement and equilibrium. The French Republic was the successor to the Ancien Régime. Similarly, I expect America will be reforged in some new form long before the 2040s.
