This is Churchill on how Britain self-destructed after winning World War I:

Historians a thousand years hence will still be baffled by the mystery of our affairs. They will never understand how it was that a victorious nation, with everything in hand, suffered themselves to be brought low and to cast away all that they had gained by measureless sacrifice and absolute victory — “gone with the wind.”

Now the victors are the vanquished, and those who threw down their arms in the field and sued for an armistice are striding on to world mastery. That is the position, that is the terrible transformation that has taken place bit by bit… We should lay aside every hindrance to endeavour by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world, for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save civilisation.

This is exactly what happened to the US after 1991. A great victory was supposedly won but the US celebrated the victory by starting on a journey of self-hatred and constant apologies for imaginary crimes.

Churchill was right. It’s not too late. We can all turn this around by learning to feel joy and getting into the habit of laughing at land acknowledgements, Deep State stories, racismsexisms, “forever wars” cliches, etc.

Yes, whoever seriously says “forever wars” is just as unintelligent and un-American as his brother who says “and now let me read a land acknowledgement.”
