The vaginafication of America, sky screamers, soy boys and the manifestation of the participation trophy culture where people have lost the ability to handle adversity and think they have the right to win all the time.

All of the above. I also think that more than any other time in our history - or at least in my own lifetime - our population has willingly allowed ourselves to be duped by conmen, hucksters and hustlers via global warming scares, the false promises of tolerance, diversity and inclusion, and the promise of a generous benevolent government to take care of all of our needs. The siren song of socialism has reach far more ears than I would have ever thought possible.

Maybe. Or maybe the rise of social media and people living in their bubbles ignoring all data that comes from outside that bubble and getting duped by their bubbles's "truth."

End of the Earth in 12 years? And people pay any attention at all to someone who says that? There's no common sense. In the past, those people would be relegated to National Enquirer. Now its Fake News York Times, the Atlantic, New Yorker, Amazon Post pushing the end of the world nuts.

Dream on comrade. If you don't think there's a silent majority of die hard conservative capitalists in this country just try some of that crap and see how they react.
The lessons of a fallen USSR, along with a more recent Venezuela, are just lost on idiots like you. Oh, I know, THIS time you guys will get it right.

In which we replaced laughing with bellyaching.
In which political correctness caused us to suppress our honest thoughts and opinions.
In which family members were urged to come home and act like jerks at Thanksgiving.
In which I can count on one hand the number of times that I actually laughed at an SNL skit.
To paraphrase Jack Nicholson’s version of the Joker, “What this country needs is an enema.”
All the above but especially the line in bold. I tried to watch their Weekend Update segment last Saturday night - for the first time in many, many years - and couldn't, I tried but I just couldn't. I lasted maybe 3 minutes, it was ALL trump and NONE of it was even remotely funny.

To be honest, I never found SNL funny back even when they actually had talent on the show-Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Jane Curtain, Dan Akroyd, Joe Piscopo. I remember seeing kids in the lounge in the dorm watching one time. Noone was laughing. Just all staring glassy eyed at the screen.

It may be an age thing, but Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscapo, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers - - that generation knew how to make be laugh.
