Bipartisan Destruction of the Civil Society

As we age we all look around with that sense of “When I was young this crap would’ve never flown!” wonder as things change, usually for the worse (or so we think). Normally, however, we can look at things as they change and understand who is benefitting from them, if nothing else. But there are changes happening now that not only will make things significantly worse, but there is not obvious an constituency for them. Worse still, they will accelerate the unraveling of the Civil Society.
There are laws on the books, then there are the unwritten laws we all live by. The unwritten laws are the societal pressures and agreements we make with one another to make life better but can’t and shouldn’t be imposed by government. Don’t put a car on blocks on your front lawn or you won’t get invited to neighborhood BBQs, etc. Our society functions as much from adherence to the unwritten laws as we do from those written. Now it’s all going to hell.
What am I talking about? First, we have the breakdown of laws the people we’ve elected to implement laws have passed into being. These laws didn’t breakdown on their own, simply having outlived their usefulness, no. These laws are being ignored by people elected to enforce them.
