Americans Are Finally Admitting Life Hasn’t Been The Same Since 2020

A Homestead Journey | July 11, 2026



Nothing feels the same since 2020 and everyone knows it. The cost of living crisis, inflation, housing problems, economic uncertainty, and changing daily life have made many Americans feel like life hasn’t been the same since 2020. But what most people don’t realize is how many major changes have happened at the same time — from rising expenses and financial stress to shifts in work, communities, and the way people view the future. In this video, we explore why millions of Americans feel something has changed and the patterns behind this new reality.

    God isn’t coming to save us. He gave us freewill, the ability to critically think, the ability to TAKE ACTION, the ability to use our brains to make our lives the way we want.
    IT’S UP TO US TO FIGHT EVIL WITH PHYSICAL VIOLENCE.

    We are the smartest animals on the planet.
    Yet, we are also the only creatures to wear clothes, and have created a monetary system to survive. Every other creature just lives, walking around eating off the ground. More or less.

    It started under Obama. That’s when personal issues became a thing and everyone has to deal with some peoples issues. Entitlement, safe spaces, racism. All because of him.

    Midterms won’t fix everything but do not underestimate the power of local elections including for school boards that dictate what is taught .
    The republicans keep going after voter rights and the corporate democrats are not cutting it, they are on the payroll.

    They actively planned towards this outcome by reducing ordinary people's leverage. Ongoing (and increasing) property taxes mean you never own your property. Regulations and monopolies over resources prevent people from running their own businesses. Job opportunities are concentrated in a few companies, who then actively try to automate their jobs so they rely on people less. 😂 Every step of the way, "they" are increasing their leverage and ordinary people become less empowered.

    1% control the world. 4% works for them. 90% is sleeping. 5% is awake. The purpose of the 5% is to wake up the 90%. The purpose of the 4% for the 1% is to prevent the 5% to wake up the 90%.

    It started well before 2020. That not having empathy thing has been going on for years. People are not living in reality at all. So people think this just started after 2020? Have people actually looked around, asked questions, it’s all visible. Yet people continue to “vote” every 4 years while the world around them is visibly crumbling. Amazing.

    When we lose sight of God, we lose moral code.

    When we lose moral code, chaos erupts within society.

    When chaos erupts within society, then society collapses.

    We need Jesus, the truth, the life, and the way.

    The food is bad because a lot of it is grown in the lab now. Then they can sell the ranches, farms, and their land for more AI data centers, to boost the coffers and giant companies and foreign investors, which will increase our bills more

    I am shocked at how many people I have met who have never read "Animal Farm" or "1984". I am early sixtyish and even people in my age group never even heard of those books. It was required reading when I was in high school in the 80s. And predictive programming for knowing our future.

    I spent my teens, 20s, and 30s rushing here, rushing there, taking care of others, sometimes working 2 jobs, having a house, being married, having 2 children, and trying to find time for peace and quiet, read a good book, take a family walk or hike, etc. Life was exhausting, but it was better then than now. Now as a mature woman and single, it is not easy, but much less stress.

    It's a rolling start genocide. The kids have their language development massively disrupted. They are traumatized and isolated in plastic school cages. Fed common core mind poison, all while their bodies are poisoned with sugar to the point of irreversible developmental damage.

    They become violent and uninhibited while every last sabotage is applied. Their common core parents were the gateway. Knowledge creates integrity which is necessary to participate in increasingly complex transactions. When you are weakened systematically you become defenseless to coercion.

    Thus, liberty loss, hence when words lose their meaning people lose their freedom.
