All the Republican years, the years of Conservative media, the Rush Limbaugh years, the Heritage Foundation, the Reagan Years, the Fox News years turned out to be a waste of time, a waste of rhetoric, a waste of votes, a whole lot of hot air, and much ado about nothing. We always got more government deficits and budget increases under Republicans. The 80,000,000 Americans that went to the polls to vote for conservatives, smaller government, and economic conservatives . . . were completely duped. They wasted their votes. But why? Why does this happen? We go over the fundamental causes and instrumental causes of the fall of empires and nations, and then describe what it would look like should a civilization break down.
