I would disagree with the Stockholm Syndrome theory and simply ascribe the problem to America becoming corrupted from within very similarly to the way ancient Rome did but over a much short time span.
If you study the fall of the ancient Roman Empire you’ll see that we have followed it almost to the ‘T.’ But then again most of the major ancient civilizations were destroyed first from within and then finished off from without.
The West is collapsing with the UK leading the charge but here in America I do see glimmers of hope that are somewhat similar to the way Christianity rose from the ashes of a self-destructing Roman Empire.
There’s no real way to stop the suicidal path the West is on even by electing a new generation of politicians who will eff over the citizenry they supposedly represent. Our politicians are only good as the parents who raise them and parenting in the West is suffering tremendously.
The place to start restoring America and the West is the home. Until that is straightened out we will continue to see the downward spiral of all aspects of our society until our death wish is granted in full. To change the trend people will have to make life-affirming decisions that are not popular with the culture at large. A large enough group of conservative, life-minded individuals can make the difference.

Agreed.

I agree. My assessment though comes from the mentality that the general citizenry have regarding the government.
Just because they are corrupt doesn’t preclude the Stockholm Syndrome theory; in fact, it could be that [some of] the corruption is the result of embracing some ideology because the captor (the government) allows/believes it themselves; abortion is a good example, government mandated that it was moral [and a “right”] despite an overwhelming disagreement with the population which, over time, grew to accept and embrace it. (Though it is interesting to see that there is a resurgence of anti-abortion sentiment in the population.)
>A large enough group of conservative, life-minded individuals can make the difference.
I agree. I never said they couldn’t.
This piece is, like I said earlier, my theory.
The left has succeeded in destroying the men of this land. If this country is to be saved, it will be saved by the women, not the men. I came to this realization within the last 6 months.
