America is at a dangerous crossroads. The power of the state has been steadily growing for sixty years spurred by the racial inequality and unrest in large cities in the 1960’s. After the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, Lyndon Johnson took over as president and against the advice of experts like sociologist and assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan, began an aggressive program of government intervention. Johnson’s ill-advised and poorly thought-out Great Society policies empowered government to address the ghetto culture of African American males and the growing rate of single motherhood that was at the root of rioting in large urban areas of the US.
The unfortunate outcome of the Great Society debacle created a massive welfare state encompassing a permanent dependent underclass consisting of all racial groups. But it expanded government to levels not dreamed of even in countries where socialism played a major role. Traditional marriages waned and divorce rates soared as the Government grew to replace males in the household. Today the opioid crisis and Fentanyl addiction can be laid squarely at the foot of the Great Society and the bad social engineering that came from it.
Reasonable minds can correctly conclude that the disintegration of the nuclear family that was the cause of Black misery in the 1960’s was not eliminated but instead propagated into the rest of American culture by the Great Society. Today the government in America has grown to massive proportions with bad ideas that multiplied by cellular division and the power of the government is what led to the downfall of the outgoing president.
When the current president suggested that the people should be free to solve their own problems with less government, racism that had steadily disappeared in spite of bad policies, was exhumed, and promoted to “systemic”. The fact that black people were black and white people were white by a natural process of geographical origins was ignored and the president was accused of fomenting a plot against all non-white humans even though nothing in his history demonstrated that inclination. In fact, quite the opposite was true.
The president was trying to address the lazy and entitled factions of society that led to the parade of illegal immigrants across unprotected borders to do the work that many citizens believed was beneath them.
It was government and government power that took out the president.
