It has to do with Liberalism, Feminism and all the other Liberal shallow "isms and phobics". Up to that point above, we had a meritocracy; best team wins. The USA and the Allies beat two very solid teams; Japan and Germany, in WW2. It was not yet a rigged game, where something besides merit decided the outcome, like we have today; industrial complex and Viet Nam. The merit was strong on both sides of the war, but the best team won. After the war, the winner did not take over but rebuilt their rival for the needs of Democracy.
Liberalism opened the door to a downgrade in attitude away from merit. For example, there was little home owner default after WW2, since the surviving soldiers, who got homes via the VA bill, were trained to get any tough job done. That was part of male soldier's world at that time. Men could argue but still be on the same team; Team USA. They were each other's keeper. I remember it was OK for a neighbor to yell at you for screwing up. Often, they would not tell your parents, since they also liked you. It was a safe time and easy to stay on course.
Liberalism introduced emotional thinking where it was more about feeling instead of merit or common sense. Less common sense led to con artists games and scams, designed to manipulate the emotional thinkers, who lacked common sense and critical thinking skills. The result was a steady decline, such as the ever increasing national debt, due to less than qualified crooks in power, who were elected based one sentiment or fear, and not logic.
Biden is a disaster but since he is like a grandfather, he has to be forgiven; papa. Back after WW2, men in charge would see what was needed to win, and they knew had to work together; tough soldiers on the same team on battle day.
The breakdown of the nuclear family and undermining religion were both part of the Liberal led decline. Religion develops the conscience and character, which does not need Big Brother, but can self censor in freedom. The breakdown of the family led to an explosion in the need for social services; single parent families, and the rise of crime and drug addiction, with the soft on crime of liberalism making both of these problems worse and worse; feels right but was a disaster. Liberalism does not tech merit; self sufficiency, but stalls the poor at dependency, since it is scary and rigged out there; emotional thinkers. You are a victim so look over your shoulder, fear and hate.
To the Liberal propaganda, Trump is called the dictator. Name me something tangible that dictator Trump did from 2016-2020? After the Russian Collusion Coup failed did Dictator Trump pull a Biden and bring the herd of crooks to court? No. Biden and the Democrats were spying, infiltrated social media, like a dictator above the law, even before he was elected.
Democrats project to hide their behavior in plain sight. The emotional thinkers common to the Left lack critical skills to see this. Democrats know merit is not key anymore. It is more about fear mongering, lying and cheating, with all the dual standards learned from Liberalism, like two tier injustice and election tampering, and now using injustice to take out the lead candidate. This feels right? It is a dictator paradise.
We may need to get rid of the Department of Education and Liberal Propaganda, and replace it with old lessons of meritocracy. This may require getting rid of the Teacher's Unions since this is a contaminate. MAGA was about system restore to the 1950's, but with the systemic racism of the Democrats, created after losing the Civil War, gone for good. We are all on the same team. They are back to reverse racism and corruption, since they know no better; old habits and playbooks.
I think the corn is going to be really tall next summer.
