When the family was allowed to be destroyed we allowed the wolves at the gate free reign.
It is just a fact. Destroy family values, destroy society.
No more listening to grandad's words of wisdom, 'cos who was grandad again?

Working/buying/living also play a large role in that scenario.
Less and lower if not unchanged paying jobs. Spending power recedes as inflation grows. Those plus your example effect living.

I would agree.
To go further, I would say they are complicit in railroading any progress at all and complicit in the degeneration of society they continue to report.
Even if one does believe that Trump emboldens hateful ideologies, he didn't do it alone nor in a vacuum.

They won't want to hear it because it means they have some of the blame for it.
Erode the family, erode the neighborhood, erode the faith community. People do not depend on each other. They turn to the state.
This is what you have left.
Look on it and despair.

The Mainstream Media has lied to everyone about what happened in Charlottesville and WHY it happened, but I'll explain to you exactly why this is going on and I will reveal to you the CORE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS that led us to this reality.
I will explain why the Alt-Right arose in the last few years and why the Left has been hijacked by a false narrative.
This is all so freakin simple and everyone will understand it.
“We [Charlotesville police] were ordered to bring the rival groups together. As soon as they were in contact with each other, we were told to stand down. It was outrageous. We weren’t allowed to arrest anyone without asking the mayor first. We weren’t even allowed to stop the driver as he sped away.“ “The event was being set up as far back as at least May and it went like clockwork.”

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
American workers (proletariat) would never declare war on their middle class neighbors as long as they shared common Christian values. So the Italian communist -- a contemporary of Lenin -- wrote an alternative plan for a silent revolution. The main weapons would be deception, manipulation and infiltration. Hiding their Marxist ideology, the new Communist warriors would seek positions of influence in seminaries, government, communities, and the media.
we need to take back control of the government and prevent corporations from usurping everything.
