Walk through any neighborhood that experienced riots in the 1960s, and 90% of the time, find destitute neighborhoods in the same places in 2021. That is the future for the cities and neighborhoods which have experienced recent rioting.

It is all fallout from the breakup of fundamentals which made America the greatest place on Earth.

God ,Family and Country.


God
Over the recent years there has been an attack on Religion.
Media has portrayed Priests and the church as bad.


Family

Since the inception of welfare there has been an attack on Family.
Government steps in to raise your kids. No fathers needed.


Country
Since Socialists have invaded our Educational system young impressionable
children have been indoctrinated into the Left consciousness and feel obligated
to burn,loot and tear down our national monuments.


Time to restore the Basic Fundamentals.

Religion ruined Religion in the USA. The whole "Do as I Say not as I do" part is what drove people away.


Family

The divorce rate among all people is greater than 50% in this country. At the same time more than 50% of the population claim a religion or attend a religious service. Even with the decline its above 50%. https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/...at-rapid-pace/

So Religion does not seem to be the key to lowering the divorce rate as both those with religious convictions and the Divorce rate are BOTH above 50% annually.

Country
Not sure what monuments and flags have to do with religion, all would be considered false idols per the bible. You are describing blind patriotism, something we did have in the 40's and 50's because the public did not know any better. Was religion going to change the January 6, capitol riot? An act that goes against religious teachings but is widely supported on this forum because of politics NOT Religious followings. So even the mighty conservatives on this forum regularly walk away from religious convictions when convenient for political gain.

They all were waving American flags and yelling they love America while attacking one of its largest most important institutions.

Patriotism has been weaponized as a political tool since George W and the Iraq war, where they lied to the public and used the American Public's blind Patriotism that had been with us since the 40's and 50's to sell an unnecessary war. Hence why military recruitment has remained down since the Iraq war and remains low today.

The legacy of LBJ's great society. Harris -Biden are now creating their own legacy of destruction with various diversity schemes.

Basically, that's the solution. People destroyed their own neighborhood? Oh well, we'll just move them to some nice, new neighborhood.

Exactly-

These places where blacks are rioting will be turned into third world urban hell holes. It is ironic that black protesters always destroy the places where they live. Then they complain they live in hell holes in which no one will establish grocery stores or other businesses!

Does anyone see a pattern here?

Liberal insanity- you have it 180 degrees wrong.

Liberalism has targeted the three pillars of western civilization:

the church

the family

the middle class

All of the above three have provided the stability and setting for exceptionalism. It is not surprising that the Frankfurt School (a creation of Stalin) established liberalism in America and targeted those three institutions. Lack of moral discipline, some sense of morality, family support and nurturing, and decent paying jobs is what made America great. Liberals, of course, look to destroy all three and have effectively done so in larger urban areas.

Meanwhile, in MAGA land, we live a relatively crime free, prosperous, peaceful existence. Where I live, blacks and whites have been intermarrying for 250 years and there is no racial strife. When people identifiy themselves by a group or race, rather than as an individual, tribalism and trouble begins.

I'm not even religious and agree with you.

Don't you think that what we are seeing now, and probably the last 20 years isn't real "Liberalism" but further left....I don't even know what to call it...Leftism, wokeness,...not sure.

Liberals in the 60's,70's, and 80's really were for helping others, thinking of American first, and the working man.
