Self-Destructing?

Is America self-destructing? Our cities are failing, the southern border is out of control, the politicians are spending like drunken sailors, more taxes are coming, our enemies are mocking and bullying us, one political party is pushing socialism, the media is censoring the news, and our president is weak and mentally unfit.

Why are and have we allowed this to happen? Denial, ignorance? Uninformed? Or all of the above?
