I am not discounting other factors that have contributed to our national decline, but the underlying reason is that we no longer have the same electorate and a national consensus on the rightness of the vision of our Founders. We have become Balkanized along racial, ethnic, and cultural lines.
Loss of morality which was derived from living in a Godly manner
Teaching them the Fairness Doctrine and socialistic ideologies in educational institutions
Desensitization / numbing down empathy and sympathy of the youth by letting the them experience everything as a voyeur rather than a participant where they would actually experience it for themselves. Done through TV, video games, YouTube videos, etc....
Polarizing one group of people against another and using them as useful idiots at the polling booths
All in all, a bad combination. But for those parents that raised their children to be respectful and moral, I hope there are enough of them to stand against the evil regimes to come that will have no mercy on them.
