Maybe but also factor in that people have been predicting the downfall of the USA since the 1960s.

Or maybe even the 1770s

Still, got a funny feeling these days

Ted Kazinsky made some very good points.

We’ll fall right when the rapture happens. So, you know, any day now

I thought the rapture was not the fall but just the beginning of a century or so of torment for those sinners left on earth.

Maybe the rapture has already happened and so few people left that nobody noticed and this is the century of torment...

Rapture happened when harambe died, he was the only one to go to heaven.
