We have gone formo being a robust, muscular appreciation based culture ro a whiny-ass pity and complaining culture. The Dems/liberals/leftists are all about whining complaining and pity, self and otherwise. Conservativism and libertarianism grows out of appreciation and gratititude. And from that appreciation and gratitide comes the recognition of opportunities. Appreciation and gratitide are the starting point of growth, success, propperity. Whining and complaining are anti-masculine and result in stagnation and decline.
Yes, we have become more and more feminized and this has led to the mess.
Two parties: the Blame party vs. the Apologize party.
