15. Sadly, quite accurate

I think one would have to be either completely ignorant or wildly optimistic to suggest otherwise.
The current election cycle provides some support. Here we have an essentially ideologically extinct political party (that would be the republicans to anyone playing at home) with a pretty good chance of regaining the Presidency and even taking complete control over the House and Senate. The reason is not based on their ideology, obviously - it's based on largely misinformed opinions about the current administration, racism, and fear. Large sections of the country actually favor a religious fundamentalist as President.
On the other hand, the current administration is weakly supported by their own voters - many of whom will exercise their vote with one hand holding their collective noses. We're not winning many arguments with that appraisal of our leadership, let's face it.
American capitalism has been corrupted to a unrecognizable form for most mature Americans. So many have basically given up, hopeful only for a pittance, if that, to retire on.
Many will not take a stand for anything anymore since inevitably special interests will circumvent any broader issue.
Physically, the country is a wreck. The people are broken down, disspirited, and pessimistic.
Basic freedom seems to be constantly under attack from our own government - much, much more than any outside threat.
Any significant improvement to our lives comes from bubbles - illusory, temporary, and with a wicked bill at the inevitable ending.

I have always advocated non-violence as the ultimate change agent, still do. But this situation, I fear, will not end well.
