Yes, I agree. The underlying driving force behind all this.

[ZULU]

Political correctness and our own apathy have allowed this to grow.

I have dual citizenship: Germany and America. Some choice; whether to live under an iron fist or an iron glove? What purpose common law and constitutions when czars, regulators, executive orders, PC, government-media collusion, judicial globalism, and abandonment of common sense, cultural-religious values and responsibility circumvent them?

America may yet have the barest of edges in individual freedoms, but the balance has tipped to an idiotic, information-resistant, labile, self-serving electorate.

When in Germany I am at least comforted by a semblance of competence.

Of course I know your reply will be to remind me that all the Progressive rot to which we have descended originated in the Germanic Prussian state.

Just wanted to save you the effort :)

While the modern "Welfare State" may have been associated with developments in Bismark's Prussia, the driving force behind the modern Left would be better understood--in my opinion--as having flown from the fantasies promoted by the French Jacobins in the previous century.

The inevitable conflict in any State allowing popular suffrage is between Liberty & Equality, as positive values. The Jacobins, in a form of self-hypnotic madness, believed that they were somehow kindred notions.

I fear that most of the dancing around the effect of changing demographics in changing values, in looking at what are more often symptoms than causes of the drastic changes in social & political attitudes, flows from a similar confusion among educated Americans. Our educational institutions, after all, seldom challenge the Jacobin fantasy, even after more than two centuries of repeated demonstrations that the coupling of "Liberty & Equality," leads inevitably to confused direction.

Yet the Germans were the first to observe common law, the English second.
