Exactly. That’s why it should stay the hell out of social issues.

Society and this country will fall from within. The moral decay that we are now witnessing is what is doing us in.

Fix the social issues and the rest will fall into place.

That's why we need to make social issues a priority.

“Society and this country will fall from within. The moral decay that we are now witnessing is what is doing us in.”

It is killing our country. No doubt. On a federal level, fix the things that are easy to fix. State rights, spending, taxes. etc.

Let the states handle the social issues.

“Fix the social issues and the rest will fall into place.”

You cannot fix social issue across a nation. The social concerns of NY and CA are so different than anywhere else in the country. I don’t want their values imposed on me but likewise, it is not fair to impose the will of other states on them.

“That’s why we need to make social issues a priority.”

It can be a priority if handled correctly, at the local and state level.
