I disagree. It changed as the government schools started focusing on feelings over accomplishment and the parents let it happen at home. The trophy for all mindset has consequences.
30 years ago the idea of a governor seizing control of private businesses in NH without due process would have been thought impossible. That
respect for the individual and their dreams and accomplishments, that used to make up such a big part of the American spirit, was largely parented and government "schooled" out, and what we have left is a dumbed down european collectivist mindset.
The land of the free and home of the brave gave way to masses welcoming more rules to follow and non-bravery. Americans fought on beaches and died for you and me to live our lives without a nanny state. Who are we fighting for? We're obedient, docile and genuflect at the alter of the state, worshiping politicians, actors and the Kardashians of the world. Americans didn't used be this way.
