There are some semi-reasonable people like Jonathan Haidt who have commented (on Substack) on the strong statistical correlation between being a "liberal" female teenager with serious mental illness. It's not really "liberalism" as a political philosophy or even an ethos that liberals of earlier generations would have recognized. Haidt's supposal is that a bad set of core ideas/expectations about life, other people yourself, and feelings have helped give sensitive, caring young people a terrible set of tools for tough times under bad conditions.
The fact is, if you don’t intentionally proactively indoctrinate your kids with conservative family values, then you’ve effectively abandoned them to be indoctrinated by the LEFT. No need to wonder or speculate further why the culture is in chaos.

Seems reasonable to at least wonder about the role of parents, no?
