My own mother was maniacally clean. Mostly what I took from that as a teenager was what a pain it was. Only years later did I learn what a living space looks like when there’s no one to worry about constant control of skunge in the corners of the floor and mold in the bathroom. Elves don’t come in and remove it while we sleep.

-The “tradwife” phenomenon – if the upper-middle-class women are turning, the rest of the progressive cultural mountain will crumble and fall.

-The scorn of young collegiates – and their anger at being coerced to mouth woke pieties. The Left no longer are the cool kids – they are hellacious, nasty, uncool freaks that ruin every good time with their belabored, politicized bullshit. And as post-collegiates they demonstrate what losers they are.

Even here in Israel, the anti-Bibi protests look like a nursing home field trip and the outdoor signage changes markedly outside chi-chi urban enclaves.

The devolution of the Left’s projected cultural and moral authority will happen quickly – remember how rapidly glasnost unraveled the USSR?

Any victories will be confined to urban enclaves, and will the pyrrhic and educational – as Mencken said, giving the fools what they asked for, good and hard.

I grew up in a tiny town in the midwest. The nearest college was about 45 minutes away — but out of state. So beyond our budget. And job opportunities were limited.

I grew up in an agricultural area, so about half the farm kids came home and took over the family farm. And about half of those farms are now gone — killed by government overreach.

When my great-great-grandfather died, he actually owned a fair amount of land in Queens. All of which was taken away from his surviving children (or grandchildren) through eminent domain: To build the Triborough Bridge, the Queensborough Bridge, and Queens Bridge Housing. They didn’t exactly get lots of money for any of it.

Generational “wealth” works in certain areas for certain people under certain conditions.

It occurred to me today that maybe I should also pray for the TDS people, that the scales would fall from their eyes, and that they are healed of their hatred.

I see now that huxley beat me to it: All you can do is pray and hope they burn through their craziness before they burn everything else down.

Geoffrey Britain:

Well, there is the theory that the Greatest Generation created the Boomers in the image of the life denied to the Greatest by the Depression and WW II.

IOW the Greatest spoiled the Boomers.

It would be nice if we could talk Democrats down from their craziness. I would love that. Unfortunately, there’s not much danger of conservatives succeeding.

If you’ve ever dealt with someone stuck on crazy, however functional they might be otherwise, you know it’s a long shot.

All you can do is pray and hope they burn through their craziness before they burn everything else down.

History is the story of large groups and nations stuck on crazy.

There’s an easier way to build generational wealth.

Responsible folk buying their own homes, then also having a second home to rent out, is an excellent slow way towards becoming rich.

Her “language of love is service” likely refers to The 5 Languages of Love.
Nice short video.
