There are several steps to destabilizing a country, and we are watching many of them being used in America now.
The most obvious way to destabilize a country is to destroy its primary unifying factor. In the case of America, that factor is the Judeo-Christian values that this nation was founded upon. Those values include the idea of family and sexual morality, both of which are currently being undercut by many of our political leaders. The two-parent family, which is the foundation for a stable society, has been under attack for a long time in America. In 1968, about 60.0 million (85%) U.S. children under 18 lived with two parents. By 2020, although this living arrangement continued to be the most common for children, the number of children living with two parents had slipped to 51.3 million (70%). Less than two-fifths of Black children were living with two married parents in 2020. These children were most likely to live with their mothers only, with nearly half living in this arrangement in 2020. The easiest way to counter this destabilizing factor is to stay married and to take your children to church regularly.
Another way to destabilize a country is to remove respect for those who enforce the laws of the country or to ignore the concept of equal justice for all. That problem was rampant during the Biden administration and still continues to some degree today. Respect for the law and those who enforce it needs to be taught. Teach your children that the police are there to protect them.
Importing large groups of people from countries with different values or customs also creates a problem—if people come to America in large groups, it is harder for them to assimilate. They tend to stay within their groups, and that also limits their success. Years ago, I was privileged to meet a group of people who had come to America and formed a community in Massachusetts. Because they had formed their own isolated community, they had not learned very much English. Because of that, people with degrees in Physics, Chemistry, and those who had completed medical school were working on assembly lines in local factories. If large groups from other countries enter as a group and do not assimilate, they often will find themselves dependent on government programs for food and other necessities. The Cloward-Pivan Strategy, developed in 1966 by two American sociologists and political activists, was a plan to facilitate a “political crisis” by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the federal government to create a system of guaranteed minimum income. This would redistribute income through the federal government. The idea was to collapse the current system and bring in socialism. Controlled immigration is the solution to this problem.
Another way to destabilize a country is to fail to teach its children an accurate picture of the history of the country and that despite some flaws, it is worth defending. A country that fails to teach its children patriotism will fail. A country also needs to have high academic standards for its children, and it needs to reward achievement. Success should be based on merit—not anything else. It’s time to get our schools back to teaching the skills students need to learn to be successful when they graduate. Let’s get back to the basics.
The future of America is in our hands. We can choose to be part of the problem or part of the solution. All political parties and the people who support them need to work together to make America the country our Founding Fathers envisioned.
