There is only one comment to this essay. The war against America its culture, its history and meaning by those antagonists who have desired to remake America is lost. They have won. The haters of America and its ideals, have embedded themselves in our schools and colleges and universities have made the fundamental changes to America they desired. Our own citizens no longer care. The self loathing is obvious. When you no longer celebrate merit, what is left to celebrate. When you call our dead white males who imagined then fought for Americas freedom evil racists with no context, how are our young supposed to feel? Ashamed? We enslaved not only people of color we conquered the natives that were living here and rounded them up in American Gulags. How could you love our history? The assaults on our country from within are successful. What do Progressive America haters want now? Who will defend them? Perhaps they feel they’d be better with Chinese leadership? The assaults on every level continue today. It would be hard to say that the assaults on family, fatherhood, motherhood are not leading to a generational slow down in the birth rate. I mean when the Progressive wordsmiths feel “birthing person” is a better description of motherhood how much more could you make it impersonal? Denigrate patriotism, and love of ones own country doesn’t make sense to me. We have our premier newspaper pushing the 1619 narrative, a flawed history to further their goal. What is that goal? That America is a flawed nation and shouldn’t be allowed to exist? I simply cannot fathom the hatred that many with the power to culturally change America feel. Do they really want to end up with a generation(s) that dislikes its own country. To what end?

The slowdown in birth rate is because it's too expensive for large numbers of young people to raise children. The days of one parent working and one raising kids are long gone. The days of two parents working and raising kids are fading fast. Now, you need to be upper middle class just to afford what used to be a working class home, let alone have any money left over to raise kids.

It is a failure on many levels, but young kids today don’t even go thru the process. Young men want to only hook up. Nobody thinks much about a family. Sad

Recent statistics suggest that only some young men are hooking up, and even fewer young women, with a memorable if crude analogy being that those few are “being banged more often than a screen door.”

Absolutely were I single would clean on these boys today. They don’t have the gift of conversation and chatting up a girl. Depressing a bit.

The battle may be lost but the war is not. You and others on here are Exhibit A. Exhibit B is the widespread failure of the replacement policies. Exhibit C is the weakness, literally, of their proponents. It is very hard to wage a war from a safe space. As soon as it moves from the internet to the streets they are done.

I cannot come to any conclusion other than we are terminally fucked.

Maybe, maybe not. But I do think that a counter-reaction to the madness is percolating and, when it comes, it will come with a ferocity that will take one's breath away.

The counter reaction is what Tucker Carlson has been doing and now look. He had guests on his show no one thought of having. He attracted democrats whether they loved him or hated him. Hannity and Ingram don’t hold a candle to Tucker. I’m done with Fox and I have no interest in newsmax. Fox will sink like Budweiser.

You have hope, I have none. The capture of institutions that are responsible for promoting American values and cultured have been completely captured by those who wish to tear it down and remake it. Each side now vilifies each other as enemies. We have a produced a generation that is incapable of valuing America......their ambivalence is palpable. They are not marrying and many are not having children. We have lost the thread of what makes us Americans. Citizens that are not proud of their country. I’ not sure how to bring that back with so many intent on the continued tearing down of our culture and history.

I’ve been saying that for a while. It has to get worse to get better, and the getting better part might be pretty messy. But it will get better and within our lifetimes.

Yes. This is Weimar, complete with polymorphic perversity. We know what comes next.
