Showing Original Post only (View all)Brother thinks the country won't last past 2030 no matter who wins [View all]
He's a registered independent. He's got probably the strangest voting record ever. He voted for Perot when he first could vote, then Nader, then Bush, then Obama. Now he's saying he's going to vote for Gary Johnson.
Anyway, he's 100% convinced the country's economy will collapse by 2030. There is no way to talk him out of that theory. He said neither political party will fix the problems, America is in decline, and no matter who wins we will be in worse shape in 4 years.
