Loving unconditionally is retarded.
It's contrary to selfish human nature, not retarded.

There are lots of conditions you place on every relationship you have with loved ones.
And that's part of loving. You're struggling with a false equivalence. Loving does not mean having no boundaries.

I’m sorry that your relationship with your daughter is such that it is right now.
While you sometimes have to let your children attempt to fend for themselves, you still are their father, so you need to tell them you love them and will be there for them if they truly do need you.
I can’t image how difficult it would be for me to have that sort of negative relationship with my children and I pray that never happens, but it must be hard to be estranged from a child you raised, sacrificed for, and cared for for so long.
I’ll pray for you and your daughter.

I had an uncle that took this approach. Gave his son everything, expect nothing, by 22 he was a heroin addict because his dad always fixed his frick ups. Wrecked his brand new 350z four times in the same year? Time to buy him expensive rims, audio system and exhaust system. What? Expect him to hold a job or make good grades? Nah, we're on the unconditional love train baby, he'll come around!
No. Reality exists. Relationships have expectations. His daughter isn't 5, she's an adult. Sounds like she needs to learn that her behaviors have consequences.
Reserve love for an honest change, like the prodigal son, but don't keep enabling bad behavior
This is the correct answer.

You're right... except it sounds like she's already in the Democrat cult. The young lady needs to first admit that she's got a problem(s). Second thing I would recommend is for her to turn off CNN, MSNBC, and other corporate media indoctrination. Good luck.

It is your daughter - keep her on the health insurance until she is 26, as it really doesn’t cost you anything (or very much)
That’s what I would do
Also, for your own protection, you’d better keep up her car insurance until you are damned sure that the car is out of your name, the risk is to great to do anything else
Good luck and prayers for your family

No, it doesn't. Loving means doing what's best for someone, even if it's not what you want to do. Loving unconditionally means that you do the thing that is best for someone no mater what. In this case, the loving thing to do is resist the temptation to fix everything for the daughter and let her learn some hard lessons on her own.

Yes, but it's obviously not yours.

Like Mike Tyson says, "we all have a plan until we get punched in the face." Life is punching her in the face. The 20's is about figuring out how to survive and finding yourself.
Be there for her but let her learn through the school of hard knocks.

protection for my child for her health would be unloving?
You must have missed the story of the prodigal son — I would not send her cash; but I would also not shite can her ability to see a doctor if needed

Shielding your child from the consequences of her choices would be unloving. She's an adult.

Of course I have. The Prodigal Son was taken in when he humbly asked for forgiveness and repented of his previous behavior. You know why he did that? Because his father allowed him to experience the consequences of his bad choices.
What would he have learned if his father had just continued to send him money and pay his bills?

I told her NO, you have some economic privilege but there is no such thing as white privileged.
Unlike “white privilege”, “pretty privilege” is real. Combine it with “southern girl charm” and the world is your oyster. Embracing these truths leads to a much better life than being a sky screaming libtard banshee trying to look like a dude. It seems like the only progs who wear makeup are the males. There is no peace or happiness in prog ideals. Only anger, envy, and hatred.
I really feel for the girls who are led into a life of misery by commie indoctrination. I hope your and OP’s daughters are able to break free and find true peace and happiness.
