America is dead. It just doesn't know it yet. Its corpse will continue to twitch for a little while longer while it proceeds to bleed out and each of its neurons fire their last time one by one. We are not America; we're the microbiome that was living inside it. And the infection has won. It's starting to rot and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?! Hell no!
