I fear you are right.
The Liberals have marched in triumph and nearly unopposed in the schools at all levels, the media, government, and culture for over 40 years. The younger generation mostly only knows what it sees now and that with which it has personal experience - and that is not a free, open, reasonably just, honorable society with liberty and personal freedom except that of the most libertine sort. Our entire nation has been dumbed down to the basest level.
It will take a great revival to turn it all around.
There will be a great test between now and renewal, if it’s possible at all.
Alas, Brave New Babylon.
