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.

The biggest difference between my generation and the snowflakes is that the teachers, pastors and civic leaders all reinforced the ideals and beliefs taught by our parents.
God, country, family and community came first. By serving those first one ended up satisfying oneself.
Kicking God off school property was the modern liberals master stroke.

My dad loved coaching Little League baseball.
He eventually quit because the parents of the kids without a shred of physical ability demanded their little darlings get equal playing time, win or lose.
The last straw was when the local teams announced they would be awarding participation trophies.
He got up, walked out and never looked back.
In a sad way I am glad he isn’t here to see the present NFL fiasco.

The law of unintended consequences.
“Gentlemen, we have to protect our phoney baloney jobs!”
Thank you Mel Brooks.

IMVHO more wealth won’t do it.
Our prosperity as a nation is what got us to this point.
I believe we are going to need a massive government melt down rending the government unable to satisfy anyone’s needs or wants.
As long as people can believe In government they will refuse to believe in God.
It would be tough times but eggs must be broken to make an omelette.
