How did American culture fall prey to the lowest common denominator in our country?
When did we start admiring primitive cultures and considering them superior to our western civilization, giving in to their needy and outrageous demands no matter what happens to our own citizens? How did the Western world fall prey to Marxist-Leninists, to Islam, and to the rap music of the ghetto and prison culture? How was Europe colonized by Islam in just a few decades of open-borders immigration? Why did its leaders eagerly embrace Islam instead of their own citizens, committing cultural and demographic suicide?

The real fundamental change will occur following CW-II, when we take care of liberals.
Technology. Has. Changed. Everything.
It’s as simple as that.
uhhhh....cause we’ve been shoving that crap down the piehole of every student who passed through a college or university since the 1970’s?
Not me. I was a redneck from my earliest recollection. Couldn’t stand hippies.
Also do not forget that every American generation born after 1945 as a whole has not experienced economic depression nor world war. Yes we have had economic slumps and limited wars, but not the situations that touch the lives of almost every citizen. Overcoming adversity as a society instills positive character traits.Lack of adversity breeds decline and complacency.
“We?” I think he mistakes the chattering, self-selected “elite” and their sycophantic drones for the entire country. The majority of us haven’t “fundamentally changed” at all and are coming to the point where we will demonstrate this quite forcefully.
Started in the 60’s but really sped up and began the move to mainstream in the 80’s.
It was under the radar. Subculture.
Then the lemmings glom in when it reaches a critical mass.
So quickly
Yeah, I couldn’t quite stand them either but gotta admit some guilt in the process. Lucky for me I woke up abruptly and did a forehead smack and gave myself a “What the hell were you thinking?”

Trusting Politicians and giving them too much power is the problem
LOL!(kinda) We were on a flight(early 2000’s) once and seated behind us were three folks who had just attended a “pop culture” seminar at UNM. My wife probably saved me from getting arrested but I was ready to pop a cork overhearing their conversation. Talk about clueless as to how the world is supposed to work.
As a boomer, then you must remember your childhoo when the previous generations were destroying America, by the 1990s when the boomers came of age (1955 boomer born, 1990-he is 35 years old), America was long gone.
Americans in their 50s and 60s and 70s were running the nation in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, and 1970s, not 12 year olds and college freshmen.
Satan.
Starts way before that in elementary and high school..........two part program: 1. Brainwashing into the Marxist/atheist world view; 2. Dumbing down education to where those entering college have a 7th grade education.
Part 3 is the media and Dems continue to repeat and re-inforce 1. and 2. through the adult lives of those who grew up under them........
What changed was the 1965 Immigration Act.
The traditional Americans are still voting the pretty much the same, but they are outnumbered, and it seems like they changed, until one realizes that their votes are merely disappeared under an ocean of Americans who weren't here in 1960.
We didn’t recognize ( and still don’t) what a change a centralized nationally controlled media would make.
It blows by the Constitutional checks and balances and all social mores to get the maximum profit.
Gotta hand it to that Teddy Kennedy. He was always 3 steps ahead on any slimy endeavor.
One thing I always enjoyed doing was going down to libraries and going through the old newspapers on microfilm. Initially I was doing research on something, but it gradually became a bit of regular pasttime, where I’d spend hours upon hours reading the old papers. The articles, the ads, everything. Newpapers from the 1800s to the 1950s/60s. Comparing those to today, you really get what a massive and astonishing degree that culture and society have devolved.
Indeed, it always struck me that in the post-war years, starting minimally at first, but taking more and more hold by the 60s counterculture, that the culture really began to embrace a kind of darkness. Almost a psychosis of sorts. A grasping for the baser elements, concurrent with moral relativity. A smarmily righteous antagonism for all that has gone on before. It started to permeate everything. Leading to decline of everything.
If it were only a simple decline, maybe it would be more palatable. But there’s something really sick and twisted about what America has become. And we seem to be sinking even faster, to the point where corruption, degeneracy, and evil are truly celebrated. The country is really becoming the opposite of everything it once was and everything it once stood for.
