The golden age of Hollywood and its collapse into degeneracy parallels the items of collapse on your list. Indeed, that debased cultural sump has played its role in the American dive into the ever pursuit of a lowest common denominator. We are Ancient Rome at its most debauched. And as unpopular as this concept of mine, I believe Trump is our modern Caligula. He is correct, God spared his life. Biblical underpinnings, and a view from the perspective of Israelis/prophecy as to who he is and his ascendancy. Can he reverse the free fall? I’m edgy about the portents.
