Modern Democrats are doing everything in their power to force Americans to live as autonomous entities unmoored from the family bonds which for so many millennia have been critical to true happiness.
From making divorce easy to demonizing children as burdens rather than blessings Democrats have been breaking the bonds that make society and which let people know that they belong.
Mary Eberstadt makes the point that the lack of family moorings leads people to replace the family with a political identity.
Getting likes on Twitter replaces sitting around the living room with your family. Given the deep need we have as human beings for acceptance, and love, from others if being approved of on social media is replacing that then it's clear why people would get so upset at any voice that disagrees with them.
Contrary voices, in our distorted modern environment, are like our family rejecting us and as such are extraordinarily painful.
In that light the otherwise insane comments by the left about how speech is violence suddenly appear to have some basis. That is not a just basis but at least we can understand why some snowflake goes wacko over a differing political view; in the mind of the snowflake someone is attacking her family, someone is attacking her.
When politics replaces family it instantly ups the ante and makes it impossible to disagree with someone's politics without despising them as a person. If politics is what defines us, as opposed to the historical norm of who we are as people which included our place in our families, then by definition any disagreement about politics becomes an attack on who we are.
This is just one more consequence of Democrats plan to deconstruct humanity and replace it with a new vision of man as an autonomous being whose only loyalty is to the State.
