women voting on emotions and feelings over logic and common sense is why we are where we are today.
My mother used to tell me it’s when women wanted to work outside of the home instead of being housewives. In her mind, those women not only abandoned their duty as family caretakers, but they increased the available workforce which suppressed wages.
When I was younger I had a similar opinion, it’s when as a society we enabled and stopped shaming fathers who abandon their family obligations. Same concept as my mother’s, just a different perspective.
Now that I’m older, I believe every time our society does things that weaken families it is a net negative for society. If we ever want to turn this sinking ship around we need to start passing laws and changing the societal pressures to reinforce force building and keeping family structures as a foundation of our country.

When you’re a kid, you’re generally insulated from a lot of the crap of real world realities being discussed in this topic.

Some of you doom and gloomers need to get off the internet and travel (if you are financially able).
This is without a doubt the best place on the planet to live with the most opportunity. I think younger Americans conflate "opportunity" with "entitlement".
Work hard, nobody owes you anything.

I agree. Obama was just a symptom.

It's actually deeper than that. What happened is women, instead of continuing to complement/teamup with men in the context of families, started directly competing with them.
Resentment formed, feminism/Marxism spread the belief that all sexual and gender dynamics are purely an issue of power.
The goal is for men and women to despise and hate each other.
-women voting and women working was the beginning of breaking up the family unit and pitting everyone against each other.
Women weren't oppressed because they couldn't vote or stayed homemakers, they were apart of something larger than themselves.
It was the beginning of atomistic individualism. The first steps into "my truth" and "your truth" that how you feel on the inside, regardless of what the people around you say, is the only reality that should be acknowledged.
What do you think the trans movement is? It's the culmination of that mindset. What anyone else says about you is irrelevant, as long as you live "your truth" that's what matters. No community connection to assist in helping you find your identity, only you, completely severed from the group, get to define yourself just as women needed to be severed from their families to compete with men.
That philosophy is purely deconstructive and destroys everything everywhere it goes. It divides husband against wife, children against parents, etc.

America’s decline began when the liberal coastal elites began to speak for the common man of this country. Of course I’m talking about 1776.

It started with the Civil War when the power structure between the states and the federal government was forever warped in favor of the federal government.
Following this, in the late 19th and early 20th century saw the rise of Marxist ideology. In Europe this movement was called what it actually is, namely socialism. Here in America though it was labeled “Progressivism”.
As the federal government continued to accumulate more power over the states and the progressive movement took deeper and deeper roots in the country’s institutions in both government and education, the fabric of American society was being morphed from its original structure of Christian foundations to secular humanism where the morals of the country were eroded and replaced with leftist ideology.
The process has been going on over 150 year. But it all started during the Civil War with the transformation from being a republic of states to an all-powerful central government that over time has been infected with Marxist inspired progressivism.
