"In the midst of the deterioration, there are those who claim 'it's not so bad' or 'it could be worse'. How frigging worse must it get?"

One of the most important aspects of the American Revolution was summed up by James Madison:

"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens, and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle."

In my opinion, this is what truly sets the Founders apart from other peoples who have sought to throw off the yoke of tyranny.

We are truly living in historic times.
