You were asked for more information on your position. And, given the plethora of Freud examples on You Tube that you could have posted, you decided to choose a video from Jordan Peterson.Very post. Big wow.
I think we need a revival. There was a book that came out a few years ago called, "Revival or We Die". It was a great book. Easy read, I recommend getting it as it is replete with examples of revivals throughout time and what caused them. So in a word, I would say a call to faith. Not shallow faith, but resolute, orthodox Christian faith. Revival has historically had a massive impact on the culture. Crime went down, volunteering went up. All sorts of positive changes from revival. How does revival happen? We have to first recognize we have a need for it. That starts with the recognition that we are sinful. As individuals and as a nation. I believe there is a lot of perversion in the US right now. For example, the US is the largest importer of sex trafficking. Of course, you will notice that the politicians never bring that horrible horrible thing up. Why? Many of them are doing it themselves! Are you getting a picture of why I don't think politics can solve the problem? It's not that politicians are powerless, it is that they only care about themselves! They just care about the next election. They want to keep their power. So there is this understanding between democrats and republicans that some issues are taboo. They will not touch them even though they are often the worst things happening in our nation. We need people to pray for revival. We need your regular everyday people to get on their knees to pray for a fresh taste of God's Spirit. If enough people do that, then we will see change. And it will really change things from the inside out. If even 25% of fervent orthodox Christians prayed for revival, we would start a revival that would change the world.
This is how she looked when she was in congress.Ive been seeing a lot of Kristi Noem's face lately, and her smile does not match her eyes. Her eyes are coldly mirthful, and sometimes cryptically bemused, her eyes leer, shine, and glint, sometimes they sparkle, but not in an effervescent way. But the way oil sparkles on the surface of a puddle of water on asphalt. Thousands of years ago people were kept awake at night, fearing the dark, fearing the jackal headed night gaunted things haunting over deserted tombs or scrabbling outside window sill; things who's eyes looked like hers. She looks like she'd be more appropriately found under a bed, or lurking in a closet. Those are the eyes of a woman who lives in a house of gingerbread.

This is Kimberly Guilfoyle when she was married to Gavin Newsome and looked totally normal.
And now...
It's like hateful conservative politics makes women ugly.
There were warning signs from early on. “If I ever disagreed with him in any capacity he’d just disappear, for days at a time. I remember there were nights where he’d call me worthless and pathetic, then get in this car and leave.” But she didn’t see them, thanks to the simplified anti-feminist ideology she’d absorbed and promoted: “I had this delusional view of relationships: that only women could be the ones that make or break them, and men can do no wrong.” So she didn’t spot the red flags, even as they grew more extreme. “He’d lock me out of the house. I remember having to knock on the neighbour’s door on rainy nights, because he’d get upset and drive off without unlocking the house. It was very strange, to go from being this public figure on stage with people clapping, to the girl crying, knocking on someone’s door with no home to get into, being abandoned with a baby.” […] “I believed I had a certain role in my relationship,” she told me. “And it was to be the more submissive one that supports my husband’s dreams.” Then, thousands of miles from friends and family, she reports becoming “the closest thing to a modern day, Western slave.” With no income of her own, she had to do everything: “The lawns, the house, the cooking, the baby care, his university homework. And I didn’t know anyone. I didn’t have any support. There was no help changing diapers, there was no help waking up in the night with the baby. I’d still have to get up, to make breakfast before work. I’d be shaking and nervous, for fear I’m gonna get yelled at.” Then he’d berate her for spending all her time on tasks other than earning money: “I was told daily that I was worthless, pathetic. Deadweight. All you do is sit around and take care of the baby and do chores.” When Covid shut down all real-world public life, her situation became “hell on earth.” It was, she said, “the only time in my life where I idealised dying.” […] She thought, she told me, that “as long as I put on the high heels and the lipstick when my husband comes home, as long as I cook the best meal, as long as I’m always submissive, and say yes, sir, whatever you want, things will go fantastic.” And if it’s not fantastic? The listicle version of traditionalism would just say she should make more effort.

This is a secular nation. If you need or want to live in a orthodox Christian theocracy, go there.
Kenneth Copeland has eyes like that. How anyone can believe in the possible existence of demons and not think of that man's eyes is beyond me.

Interesting. I thought Melania was maybe trying to keep him out of politics based on him being pretty much off limits in the prior elections (of course, he was quite young then as well). Since he has Trump's DNA in him I guess he can't resist the allure of the limelight.

Go back and read what you wrote. More religion is not an answer to your sex trafficking/abuse examples. Less brainwashed population that puts their children in the hands of predatory people of God, might be a better start.I honestly have no idea what your point is. Is your point just, "Bad thing happen so good thing can't happen."
