The advent of television made politics and government entertainment and performative-based. The “civil rights” movement eliminated freedom of association and made private property conditional. The Great Society initiatives put the U.S. on the path to snowballing debt and opened the country up to virtually open borders. The sexual revolution subverted the natural, traditional role of women and men and crippled the family unit.

So many of America’s ills are a result of the monumental cultural and political shift the country experienced in the 1960s.

this is and abortion says it all

We rose based on morality and putting trust in God and totally lost our way on that like many civilizations before us.

Honestly the ingredients for the problem occurred much earlier and Alexis de Tocqueville about pretty much nailed it and saw it coming. He just didn't understand that it was going to go beyond just the United States

This was when the plans went into effect.

The OSS importing the Frankfurt school Marxists/ Critical Theorists like Marcuse who were exiled from Germany was the beginning of the end.

Hollywood changed got much bolder 10-15 years after WW2 with their propaganda. The elite universities were also taken over by communists.

I agree with this wholeheartedly, but what evidence do you have the OSS was behind it?

The advent of hormonal birth control played a massive role in the downfall of the nuclear family unit and women’s lib movements.

It started long before the 60's.

The enlightened European socialists/communists have been infesting academia in the US for the past 150 years and it really accelerated after WWII and WWII.

Which civil right related law restricted freedom of association? Those pesky laws that said black people could eat at the same diner as white people?

I've heard it said before that the 1950's really lasted into the early 1960's, ending on 11/22/63 when our own government assassinated an American President by the name of John F. Kennedy. That paved the way for one of the biggest crooks and Political Establishment hacks ever, Lyndon Baines Johnson, to ascend to the Presidency. Ron Paul was asked a couple of years ago when the Deep State took TOTAL CONTROL over our country, and his reply was, "November 22, 1963."

I agree with Ron Paul on that. Johnson won the 1964 election and then used the false flag of the Gulf of Tonkin incident in order to get Congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which served the same purpose as a Declaration of War. This made the Military Industrial Complex happy, but the Amerivam people were the big losers.

Except for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and Donald Trump in 2016 and 2024, the Deep State has virtually controlled both the White House and Congress, among other institutions like the corrupt, bought-and-paid-for corporate media.

And under President Trump most of us have come to realize just how corrupt the judiciary is, too.

Ackshewly, it was the 1920s:

Women voting

Arab power was hampered after Columbus et al found new trade routes. But the invention of the automobile made oil important, and gave Arabs power again

Don't forget the abhorrent SCOTUS ruling in 1963 that kicked God out of public schools. That goes hand in hand with everything you pointed out.

It’s true. Lots of landmark cases were decided by the USSC in the 60s.

You aren't fit to stand on the same ground as great men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. As usual, you are both ignorant and ungrateful for the people who established the foundation of what became the greatest country ever.

I would go with FDR and then the McCarthy hearings in the 50s.
