This is a collection of thoughts articulated by Anthony of Boston between 2016 and 2023 in chronological fashion, as political events transpired in real time. These writings were taken from posts made on Facebook and the Lion Forums by Anthony of Boston in response to what was happening in the United States at home and abroad. The author's writings can be verified at the messageboard forums on thelion website under the username apmoore. The writings underscore the nuances and precipitating foreign and domestic factors that led to the United States's current turmoil and decline as a nation. The purpose of this collection is to provide a perspective that observes and interprets events as they happen, as opposed to a perspective that provides insight after the fact. The beginning part of these passages were written during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and the later passages continue to follow along chronologically all the way to the year 2023.
