This was in the comments section in an article in the NY Post this morning by Not_a_libdonkey pox is killing America. So concise and practical that explains what is going on.

The Democrat party is being destroyed from within by it's very own creation; the AOC generation of democrats.... an epic fail that they can't reign in and are terrified of....

Today’s generation is not an accident—it’s the result of decades of liberal indoctrination, soft parenting, and a culture that rewards emotion over intellect. From classrooms to social media feeds, young Americans have been conditioned to see themselves as victims, mistake ignorance for virtue, and wear moral posturing like a badge of honor.

What began as cultural drift has become deliberate sabotage. The media, academia, and the Democratic Party have worked hand in hand to erode America’s foundations—replacing self-reliance with dependency, reason with outrage, and patriotism with shame. Social media influencers and activists now serve as the high priests of a new digital faith that worships vanity and victimhood while condemning strength, tradition, and dissent.

This decay runs deeper than politics—it’s moral and cultural. Education has turned into indoctrination; therapy has become validation of dysfunction; and “virtue” has been reduced to performative narcissism. The result is a generation of emotional adolescents in adult bodies: fragile, loud, and unprepared for reality.

Meanwhile, Democratic leaders exploit the chaos they’ve created. Every policy that weakens our economy, our border, and our law enforcement isn’t incompetence—it’s intent. The left thrives on disorder because destruction paves the way for control. Their true goal isn’t progress—it’s power, built on censorship, dependency, and submission.

For decades, good Americans stayed silent while our institutions were captured. Two generations have now grown up hearing only one narrative—anti-American, self-pitying, and steeped in resentment. The so-called “TikTok generation” has become a symbol of this decay: selfie-obsessed, emotionally fragile, and proudly ignorant, yet convinced of their enlightenment.

This isn’t just political rot—it’s the corrosion of a civilization. Liberalism has infected everything it touches: schools, newsrooms, entertainment, even faith itself. It breeds weakness, division, and delusion while vilifying anyone who dares defend the nation’s values.

America is paying the price for decades of complacency. But the time for silence is over. Patriots must rise, speak boldly, and reclaim the culture before the nation crumbles completely. The future belongs not to the loudest, but to the bravest—those still willing to defend truth, freedom, and the country that once stood as a beacon to the world.
