“This is the future the BLM sees for the USA.”

And I lay the blame at the ‘Greatest Generation’, as they were the last to see the true horrors of what Leftists do, but were so damn protective of their kids, that they never bothered to explain what they knew and saw*. They wanted to allow their kids to ‘find themselves’, just to leave them vulnerable to a very small band of hard-left professors and others who then lit the fuse in the bomb that’s now going off.

*Obviously a generalization, but far too many of them lived and believed in conservative values, but didn’t see any point in trying to pass them down to their kids.

Your comments are spot on. I witnessed this as a kid in my hometown where a WWII vet told my dad he’s keeping his kid (my age) in college until the Vietnam War was over. This “kid” was so over educated he turned out to be a university professor.

And the spoiling progressed through the decades. When I graduated from high school I got a wrist watch. Our daughters expected and got used cars. Today a kid expects a new car.

I was not allowed to use a phone until late teens. Little kids today get their first cell phones as soon as they can figure out how to use them.

My first paying job was at about age 14. And we all have heard of people still living at home, jobless and totally worthless into their 30’s.

Our culture has this idiotic belief and they are making it better for their kids by over protection and spoiling them.
