Blame everyone else, but never accept responsibility yourself. Never stand up and be a real man.

Blame the Democrats. Blame the Never Trumpers. Blame the "fake news" That isn't really fake).

Blame the Whistle blowers. Blame the FBI. Blame the CIA. Blame Obama. Blame Hillary. Blame Biden.
Blame Pelosi. Blame Comey. Blame Mueller. Blame...heck blame just about everybody but yourself.

No matter how much you blame other people and refuse to accept that the fate you have wrought is your doing or misdoing.
But, yet at some point the truth always comes out in the end.
You realize that in your 'Blame the ___' ramble, you conveniently forgot your sides constant 'blaming' ?
No, probably not.....
Everybody does it, yet you can't see it...?

This describes Donald J. Trump exactly. Perhaps he has set the new standard of permissibility. People identify with him, so that maybe why.
This, 100%.

Liberal/Progressive "anything goes" thought where there is no right, nor wrong, no responsibility and no accountability.

Liberalism. It has created the snowflake/participation trophy/safe space generation where everyone wins and everyone is beautiful, has no faults and can do no wrong. If one does wrong, it is because of someone or something else that caused it. This gets ingrained into millions of children over the years and now all those children have grown up.

liberal ideology. Democrats by principle craft their policies with a welfare mentality (I can't do it for myself, therefore someone owes me). Everything they suggest is a communal entitlement.

What has caused us to become such a "blame everyone else except for yourself for your problems" society?

DEMOCRATS.

Every single liberal is somehow a victim of either racism, misogyny, anti-immigration, agism, white male privledge, fake news, police violence, global warming, the national anthem, Islamic phobia, nazism, gender misplacement, capitalism, bigotry, Israel, conservative speakers on campus, historic slavery, evangelists/Bible thumpers, the minimum wage, or plastic straws.

Republicans believe in personal responsibility — they don’t whine about being victims and divide everyone into victim identity groups — they just get on with their lives.

pretty much every politician. i can't remember Obama accepting that he did anything wrong, would Biden admit any wrongdoing? Admitting fault is something few have the courage to do, even to themselves, and it seems the bigger the Ego the harder it is to admit the fault. And you have to have a heck of a large Ego to become a Politician.

I think in general it is social decay. We're too lenient these days and there is too much of this "don't judge" mentality.

I grew up in the 80s and it's definitely different. I think we need to have a bit more shame, not oppressively but just a bit more. We're too anything goes now and I think we're seeing the results of it.
