We've been shown the exit from one hundred nine nations so far. Why does anyone think this is new. As my Father used to say, the only new thing tomorrow will be the date.
Meanwhile the proactive way to go for me is to understand that the US Federal government is an abject failure and in no way beneficial to me.

Due to the time I have left I'm fairly nonplussed regarding the inevitable collapse the imbecilic leftists will force. In discussions with my progeny I say look to the saner States. God will judge the American people. Change is coming as change is the only constant.

I think this is a bit extreme. The Federal Government is certainly bloated and Congress has become afraid to do its job, leaving it for the Executive and the Courts, but I still see personal benefit from many agencies that require some type of coordination at a high level: air traffic control, interstate highways, etc.
The problem is that the government responds to campaign donors and only to the will of the people in the rare cases the will of the people corresponds to what campaign donors also want. If they responded to the will of the people we wouldn't have, for example, giant hedge funds buying up the nation's housing stock, medical and veterinary clinics, etc.
So much of what we are seeing today has been seen before in civilizations that have come and gone: That history is no longer a part of the educational curriculum at any level. An absence of understanding of the human condition inevitably results in the same outcome. Unfortunately, I sense that the awakening in this age of mankind’s evolution will come only in the form of shock treatment, the likes of which the world has never seen. If we are being honest with ourselves, it is not a question of whether, but rather about when. While horribly pessimistic, a look at the world’s last serious wake-up call predated the nuclear age, social media, AI, and communications traveling at the speed of light. Given these advancements, I am not so sure that the outcome we are facing today will be so tame as to resemble the beaches of Normandy and the ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I pray for my children and grandchildren that they will enjoy the freedoms and life delivered to us on the shoulders of those who came before us and seem to have been forgotten so quickly. Having lived long enough to see crises come and go, I would never have believed I would witness the current rot within our own country and around the globe expand to the point we are witnessing today among a majority of decent human beings who simply want to live a happy life.
We are still earthbound so the full impact of social media, AI, etc. are still limited thereto. Also I find it telling that the Ukraine Russia war is heavily reliant on ammunition. Which means humans are still in control.
"Meanwhile the proactive way to go for me is to understand that the US Federal government is an abject failure and in no way beneficial to me." --- Thank you for this honest and well thought out response! I've been saying this for quite some time. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can come up with real solutions.
Lincoln absolutely fired the most damaging shot which is currently completing the destruction of the Republic. I never expected to see it in my lifetime but here we are. The next iteration will be autocracy. There will be a right wing dictatorship and you can expect citizens becoming subjects. Many will be unceremoniously tossed from aircraft into the oceans. I'll go listen to "Life During Wartime" now.

Amen!

So true!

For example, I'd bet that very little know that the Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller stage a coup of the US government back in the day (https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/donating-to-a-good-cause-how-billionaires). If that was then, imagine what's happening now.
These are the topics I discuss in my book and the sooner we can wake up to our reality, the sooner we can come up with real solutions:

Most people think the Civil War was just about slavery.
