America is descending into evil.
As hard as that is to write, it is the truth.
The news no longer functions in the fast paced 24-hour cycle. Instead, the news is an 8 to 16-hour news flash. There are so many powerful and societal changing events occurring daily that one impactful news story after another is swiped aside to make room for another mind-blowing story.
What was once considered wall to wall news coverage where Americans discussed the situation, good or bad, is over. As a nation, we once took our time discussing an event or news story in national terms and what importance that particular news item had on the American way of life.
Do you remember the last day our nation had a slow news day? I can’t remember one. Is this because of social media and how everyone has become a “journalist”? Maybe. Or maybe we are living in extreme times where the social fabric of America is being torn apart. Once sacred social norms of civility, kindness, and Christian values seem absent in society. Trust seems to be a lost characteristic of our nation’s makeup.
Not long ago, Americans trusted our government, religious leaders, law enforcement, federal agencies, politicians, and each other. Not now and we all feel it. We all feel as if the other shoe is about to drop. There is no argument from either side that America is fractured. No nation, no matter her past and current power, can fight off division within her walls.
Every societal norm has been flipped upside down. There is nothing that causes shame or embarrassment in American life. In fact, the more deviant the behavior, the more uncivil one is, the more selfish one becomes, those traits and actions are exalted and held up high for everyone to see.
Every societal norm, except one: Pedophilia.
