America desperately needs a 1776 moment. And soon. Today’s villains are so much more depraved and insane than anything the colonists faced back in 1776. I don’t know what it will take for Americans to realize they no longer live in even a slightly free, remotely rational society. Denial is still rampant, and I know denial is part of the human mechanism for coping. Yet we are on an entirely unsustainable path. What will the tipping point be? Or will there be one? My guess is that it will happen when they come for the guns, and propose the seizure of retirement accounts or homes for the good of the collective. Or maybe when the currency loses all value.

Don’t you dare say you weren’t warned.
