“IMHO, it will take a major crisis in their lives for these leftists to reconsider their foundations of belief.”
Their belief in their socialist/liberal religion is their purpose in life. No shaking core values.
They are as firm in their beliefs as any moslem jihadist.
There is no crisis big enough, short of the Lords return, to make them reevaluate their belief system.
“Our Government has been doing everything in their power over the past 50+ years to remove any and all potential crisis from peoples lives.”
John and Jane Citizen haven’t helped much.
Each generation wants their children to have it better/easier than they did.
I now see kids riding their bicycles up and down quiet streets in motocross gear. All because mommy and daddy are scared they might get a boo boo.
The government jumps in wherever it can to assert more control.
“God help us all.”
Our only hope.
I may disagree here since most of these idiots are just going through the motions. Having no clue of the collective social destruction they are advancing. Many are just trying to get along and fall in line with the peer pressure of the latest narrative. Ultimately, they don't believe in anything because they have never taken the time to thoughtfully consider what they actually believe.
"There is no crisis big enough, short of the Lords return, to make them reevaluate their belief system."
Post-Modernism, Neo-Darwinism, Nihilism and the spirituality of Buddhism have all but removed God from consideration. All of which eliminate objective truth from the equation. This, IMHO, is where the battle will be waged.
"John and Jane Citizen haven’t helped much."
Without a doubt. The parents of young Johnny and Jane are demanding "special considerations" and have created this bubble of protection for their little snowflakes with their new found wealth and influence like never before.
"The government jumps in wherever it can to assert more control."
The "Government" jumps in to solve a problem and/or provide a solution but almost always creates another set of problems.
On one hand, I would think that a massive expansion of economic opportunities, jobs, wealth and purpose can overcome many of our social challenges, and on the other, it will create even more wealthy idle hands that will demand our government "Do Something" about all the things that annoy them in their meaningless lives.
