The American nuclear family is officially over
Insider ^ | 9/16/23 | Juliana Kaplan

Posted on 11/11/2023 11:43:20 AM PST by DallasBiff

Gone are the white picket fences, the two-and-a-half children in the suburbs, and married parents. The American nuclear family is officially dead, according to a new analysis from the Pew Research Center β€” even if some Americans haven't accepted it

Bringing in more immigrants is the problem not the solution. That is why California is lost, and Texas is tipping.

There's a lot of immigrants in Florida. Now it's a red state. It voted for Obama in '08 and '12. And almost went for Gore in '00.

It is nothing campared to the situation in California. It is insanity to sit there making the presumption California immigration has not destroyed the state. Pat Buchanan point this out 30 years ago.

The establishment civnatcuck idiots in the GOP called him a racist. He was right period and anyone with a pulse can see it.

I know a lot of nuclear families that are still together and thriving. But I also know overall they are / have been dwindling. Unfortunately...

I know quite a few Latino families including the one I’m sitting across from right now.

I have Hispanic in-laws through all sides of my family. At the far end of that family tree there are some extreme "racists" who disapprove of the connections with the "Anglos". They feel that only true Castilian Spaniards deserve any consideration and that marriages outside of that group are illegitimate.

And yes, I know that "Hispanic" is not a race. It is not even a coherent ethnic group. The Spaniards look down on the Mexicans, who despise the Puerto Ricans. And everybody looks down on the Mestizos. I certainly do not want to get between the Castilians and the Catalans.

In fact, I don't want to listen to one dammed word from "Hispanics" about racism. This White boy doesn't play that game anymore. Won't listen to Blacks playing the "race card" either.

We are all just going to have to behave ourselves.

Nuclear families work great in all cultures. Extended families work even better in all cultures. Single-mother families without extended family connections fail consistently in all cultures. Governments are incapable of replacing extended family connections and they do a very poor job of replacing husbands in a traditional provider-protector role.

California is a special case. It’s not just immigrants but it’s all the woke liberals living there from the universities, tech industry and Hollywood.

The nuclear family is the base of survival for any country.

Infesting anything with subhuman parasites, mentally ill children and breaking down everything great about a country is what destroys it from within.

Congratulations demoncraps. And f you all with that red hot poker awaiting you in hell.

Interesting post—and suggests correctly that government policy creates many problems and opportunities and can also resolve them.

My view of what is happening today is that the wealthy insiders are sick and tired of the power of the middle class and has decided to destroy it—once and for all.

That means crushing the nuclear family any way they can—ideology, taxation, inflation, propaganda of all kinds.

The laws on marriage and divorce are so punitive towards the man I can see exactly why men don’t want to be married. It can lead to financial ruin.

We are long overdue to remove the government as a third party in marriages.

One of the primary reasons why America and our families are in trouble is the MGTOW movement. Men who have been mislead by the feminist agenda.

The MGTOW movement is the only one drawing a line. Going on strike is the only thing that addresses a century of crimes perpetrated by government as a third party in marriage contracts.

-Lifetime alimony

-Red Flag laws that deny a man inalienable rights based on the unproven accusations of the mother of his child.
--Even if caught giving false testimony, the woman will not face the court.

-Paternity fraud; a woman can lie with impunity about the parentage of her child and the victim has to pay, even if he's known NOT to be the father.
--The government ensures that a man so victimized will not be compensated for his financial and emotional costs for the child.
--It's also illegal in many places to have a paternity test for a child.

-Women being allowed to vote but are not drafted into the military.

-Debtors' prisons for men; if a single mother can't pay her bills, the government forces the father and taxpayers to pay them. If a man can't pay his bills, the government violates the law and throws him in debtor's prison. The court claims "it's a payment to the state", not a debt.
--The same courts violate conflicts of interest by having their funding, including salaries, paid for by fathers' child support payments.

-Lack of say in keeping the child. The decision to terminate the life of THEIR baby is wholly owned by the mother. The father has no say. Conversely, if the man says, "I don't want to be a father. Put the child up for adoption or raise it on your own.", the government can and will force him to pay for a child he didn't want.

You are being a virtue signalling idiot. Those "immigrants" you love will vote Democrat 75% of the time!!!

Study finds more immigrants equals more Democrats --- and more losses for GOP

True but more than that the only survivors for whatever comes next will be out of nuclear families.
Childlessness is a death march from which there is no recovery.

the nuclear family would be part of the extended family all living under one roof (or small village of huts, in 3rd world countries)
