Of course they want this. This generation is the generation that will successfully bring this country down.
They hate family values because the families they are in have no values. They want socialism because this generation doesn’t believe in hard work and they want everything for free.
Tom Brokaw wrote the very successful and best selling ‘The Greatest Generation.’ In about 40 or 50 years someone will write the very successful and best selling ‘The Worst Generation.’
From my perspective there are reasons for all of this. There are several "isms" that started decades or even over a hundred years ago, but which have now seeped into everyday life rather than just being the lube for mental masturbation in the Ivory Towers of academia.
Feminism has destroyed the nuclear family and obvious biologically influenced gender roles.
Post-modernism has convinced people that they actually have a "truth" of their own and it is whatever they say it is.
Populism has led people to abandon any foundational principes that protect citizens from government or each other. Populism = the Law of the Jungle...Us vs Them. Whichever tribe you identify with is US and everybody else is Them.
All three of these philosophies are self-contradictory, but people don't notice because post-modernism in particular has taught people that logic is of no consequence. Only what they feel.

Populism (plus the other two) will bring this country down. It might happen with this generation or it might take one or two more. But populism is the end of the line. You can already see it happening in the UK (who usually runs over the cliff at a pace of approximately 12-15 years ahead of us).
Populism + post-modernism = "All cultures are equally valid, except 'white culture.'"
The left has been dominated by populism for decades. But now the right has succumbed to populism in America.
There are no more adults in the room. No one is holding the line anymore.
Notice how many populists here act like the Constitution is nothing more than an annoying nuisance that sometimes gets in the way of what Trump wants to do. That's the formula. "We need to set aside the Constitution for the greater good," rinse, repeat, until it's been permanently set aside. We will end up just like the UK, with the 1st Amendment being tossed aside probably first. Then maybe the 4th and 5th. Etc.
The difference between is and the UK is that we have over 300 million guns here. So when it sure 'nuff gets to the point that Us & Them is all that is left, we'll have us a violent chaos on our hands that they can only imagine.

Democrats are promoting rape and child porn while conservatives fight among ourselves about who is the most ideologically pure.
Can we stop the infighting over every little thing this administration does and focus on the real enemy for once?

I don't think that's true.
I think populism blinds everyone to the consequences of their own shortsighted populist agendas and each populist tribe thinks the other hopes and strives for the ruination of the country.
And, the left has been given in to populism for a lot longer than the right.

That's the thing. Elevating the president over the Constitution is only "every little thing" in the mind of a populist.
"The real enemy" is Big Government and the erosion of citizen's protections against it. The foundation of law in this country.
You guys will eventually understand this. But by then it will be too late.

Two bills from Northern Virginia Democrats - Delegates Vivian Watts (Fairfax) and Elizabeth Bennett-Parker (Alexandria) - could raise Virginia's top income tax rate from 5.75% to a staggering 13.8%—higher than California.
That's HIGHER than California—currently the most taxed state in the nation.
Meanwhile:
?? North Carolina: 3.99%
?? West Virginia: 4.82%
?? Tennessee: 0%
When Maryland raised taxes on millionaires, wealthy residents fled and the state LOST over $1 billion in tax revenue. Virginia Democrats want to repeat that disaster here.
Governor-Elect Spanberger and the incoming Democrat trifecta all SUPPORT THIS.
This is what happens when you give Democrats total control: they punish success and drive job creators out of the Commonwealth.
?? Call your delegate and senator—VOTE NO on HB 979 and HB 378
?? SHARE this so your neighbors know what's coming
?? Remember Vivian Watts and Elizabeth Bennett-Parker in 2027
They're not working for YOU—they're working for their extremist base.

Richmond, Blacksburg, Charlottesville and DC area control the state. Southern VA is as conservative as there is. If you live there and won’t move or fight, don’t wanna hear it.

If tweet fails to load, click here. CULTURAL MARXISM AND WOKE TYRANNY
I. HB1245: Taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries.
II. HB1374 & HB22: Punishes VMI for resisting DEI.
III. HB333: Mandates Jan. 6 "insurrection" propaganda in schools.
IV. HB1314: Ends police qualified immunity.
V. Multiple bills: Target ICE, shield illegals, unionize government workers.
This is cultural demolition. Psychologically, it's Gramsci's long march...capture institutions, rewrite history, instill guilt.
Virginia stands at the abyss. These bills aren't random; they're a coherent program to dismantle ordered liberty and replace it with statist control. The psychology is clear: overwhelm with chaos, offer "solutions" that tighten chains. History's verdict is merciless...societies that tolerate this perish.
Rise, resist, or kneel. The choice is yours, but the clock is ticking.
And we know this is not constitutional but that isn't the problem... If they get power back... It's civil war or no country.

"The Left" without government enforcing their agenda has never taken anyone's guns away, has never put anyone in prison for speech before, has never sent anyone to a gulag, has never held public executions for people who spoke out against it, has never institutionally suppressed the expression of religion, has never enslaved anyone, etc., etc.
That's never happened.
WITH government enforcing their agenda, they've done all of those things and more.
Hopefully, y'all's feeble brains can understand that at some point. Every time you cheer for the erosion of the Constitution or Separation of Powers or some precedent that expands government intrusion in the lives of citizens because TODAY it help you "own the left," you are throwing a boomerang that will absolutely come back to hit you in the behind, with exactly the equal and opposite force that you originally hurled it out with.
So instead of throwing harder, a smart person would instead reduce the power of government, since the weaker it gets, the less able the left will be able to use it against you. You can oppose the left. Oppose them, hate them, whatever you want. I don't care. But they can't hurt you without government.
But populists aren't smart people.
