All in good fun here, but my news feed has been filled with the usual articles, all some variation of, “America died on Nov 8, 2016.” RIP America. Gone, gone, gone. Every last one of them an over the top, melodramatic declaration of our own demise. The endless tombstone memes are quite common, too, as you can see here.
I’m really not sure what this never-ending desire to write our own epithet is all about, but I’ve been observing the phenomenon for about a decade now. It may well have been going on longer than that, but I seem to remember a time when we used to, at the very least, resign ourselves to bravely trudge on.
Today we simply fall on our sword, declare ourselves to be dead, and hope nobody disturbs us…or something? Actually I’m a bit baffled by how this thing actually works? Leave me alone, I’m busy playing dead? Or perhaps, it’s more like some kind of ancient curse, said in a fit of temper, “you’re dead to me!” I’m finished, I’m done, I throw in the towel. I just refuse to care anymore.
You probably can’t read the dates on all those tombstones, but just for the record we have been dying during every election year…. and all the years in between, too. We’ve been dying a lot, in fact every time something in this country doesn’t go our way, we seem to take our dollies and stomp off to the….otherside.
Okay, so call me crazy, but this is no way to live. As fun as it is to imagine ourselves dead, we are not actually dead. Like, we still have to live here, we still have to get up and go to work, there are kids that need to be fed, toilets to clean….
It’s really time for us to stop faking our own death America, and actually start living. Let’s try something new, something cutting edge. Let’s speak some life over this country
See, there's this thing called biology... 
Umm…nice to see the liberals copying what republicans did back in 2008 and 2012 after Obama was elected.
Silly followers.

I actually remember Liberals telling us that America died when George Bush Junior was elected. They tried to overturn that election too.

The never ending irony of the pot calling the kettle black – I fear the death of America (as we enjoy it) would have occurred had the other party won. Continuation of ‘progressive’ agendas would eventually result in a form of globalism that would have devoured our capitalist democratic society. But, it seems we’ve been granted a reprieve. Now we must regroup and restore individual faith in God, and public awareness that America is still ‘one nation under God’. From our beginning, THAT has been what separates us from the rest of the world. We shouldn’t be made to suppress our godly heritage – no matter how the media tries to re-write history in an attempt to promote their ideology, political ‘correctness’, and hypocritical parades of ‘morality’. But real change (in a positive direction) will not happen by the mere adoption of yet another, all-be-it opposite, political platform. It must come through an intentional, deliberate, and consistent spiritual movement that acknowledges 2Chron. 7:14 – “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” for an inspirational ‘call-to-arms’ view this video >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTVThZU95qM

I think the word you want in paragraph 2 is “epitaph.” 🙂

LOL! Thank you. Must be a Freudian slip. I seem to have epithets on my mind.

Those two words are easy to confuse. I once heard a news guy on the radio, reporting about a street protest of some sort, say that the two opposing sides stood and shouted epitaphs at each other.
