Don’t forget, their kids will be absolutely traumatized by drag queen library story times (that they don’t even have to attend) or learning about diversity in school. They melt down over “all our welcome” signs, but the left is the side full of snowflakes.

When the sign, “all our welcome” (as you put it) was put into policy under Biden as: “all are welcome,” your party welcomed in Tren de Aragua and MS13 killers, drug smugglers, and sex-traffickers.

“Inclusion” of those criminals in your “all are welcome!” policy is why we support President Trump and we oppose your practice of DEI.

The worst part of the above is that you don’t even know how insane you sound.

My god, I hope that when this is all over we can work on our maga mental health crisis.

Lol. Justifying selfish behavior I see.

I think it’s selfish to bring kids INTO this sort of environment. If you disagree…wow.

You’re kidding, right? We act like the sky is falling but people have been having children since the beginning of time in far worse conditions. I think we’ve become way too soft as a society because we haven’t had to live through hard times.

This country actually voted for hard times. Not suffered hard times or had to endure hard times actually voted for hard times.

Gaslighting would be posting police officers are for Democrats because of a bill they introduced to increase pay. Police don't support Democrats. Even after J6 they still don't support Democrats. That's how out of favor Democrats are.

These be the same folks who want understanding with the “All lives matter”

What is that quote: hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times.

I often think of this idea. What I really want for my kids is that they become good, strong men (I only have boys but this applies to women too), not that they just live comfortable lives. Maybe it takes some hard times to accomplish this. This is what I tell myself to feel better.

Maybe it is not a coincidence that our world is such a disaster now. Most of our leaders are what, boomers, who in the above cycle, would be the weak men born of the good times brought about by the strong men of the greatest generation.

Well I guess everyone is going to get tough because we’re certainly headed for hard times. And since Trump employees people based on who likes him most I won’t be surprised if those times include War, which I can tell you for certain Americans are certain unprepared to handle here at home.

My kids have recently grown and flown and created very impressive launches. There is nothing depressing about their futures. People that don't have a plan and follow it will have depressing futures. It all starts at home with parenting. If you are a lawnmower parent you set your kids up for failure.

The Cold War, AIDS crisis, 9/11... different problems, same fear. i'm teaching my kids to be tough but kind. to fight for what matters. the world needs more good people, not fewer. don't give up. Just raise them to be better than we were.

Happy for your kids but they are Gen Z, which surely has their own issues, but OP is talking about Gen Alpha, who face more uncertainty at this point.

The oldest in that cohort would be around 15. I think a majority will be okay if they weren't part of the Covid lockdowns. The children of liberal parents were held back from normal life longer than the children of conservatives so there may be a discernable difference between the mental health of those particular groups of children.

The children of parents that live their lives without pent up aggression and the need to "resist" everything are generally happier.

Your children pick up on your paranoia and stress. They internalize it.

um, no. Realizing that Trump is trying to actively destroy this country is not paranoia. I think you just need to wake up.

no, he's saving it. Thank God for Trump.

Um, no. It’s a disaster for all of them and us because Trump is president.

More of an indication of how dumb, racist, and violent cops are that they refuse to support the party that would be best for them economically because it's more important to them to be able to violate minorities' civil rights with impunity.

Remember, police departments have gone to court to fight for their right to deny employment because an applicant is too intelligent.

So not supporting Democrats is racist? Black cops are racist? Hispanic cops are racist? Asian cops are racist? I think your hatred for police is clouding your judgement.
