I don’t know that I made the list…
The church we visited did, though. It’s a huge mega church. They are opening a private school and the Loudoun Love Warriors finds that threatening.
They also apparently threatened the Sheriff as well as Youngkin. The Commonwealth’s Attorney, Buta Biberaj, had announced she won’t prosecute misdemeanors (some of her staff is in the group)… This is going to get interesting.

Louisiana has one of the strongest governor's offices in the U.S. Threatening the governor is akin to threatening POTUS...The response will be immediate, swift and decisive.
Criticize? Fine. Curse? Have at it. Recall? Absolutely. Campaign against? Encouraged.
Threaten? Lawdy, no.

This Heather Gottlieb is quite a character. She’s an admitted racist…

Did we just not have as many nuts decades ago or do they just have bigger megaphones nowadays?
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

@Jolly Social contagion.
And I think the reason why it's so easily spread is that it's a fast-track to relevance.
Ugly? Feel put upon? Haven't learned how competency and soft skills help you overcome your particular obstacles and find a rewarding place in society?
No problem, you don't have to do any of that. Attaching yourself to these particular groups lets you bypass both competency and getting along. All you have to do is embrace dark triad behaviors and claim your social justice credentials. You can be up and running in a matter of hours.

Our friend Heather is back in the news. I found out that she is a parent in Finley’s soccer league…

Bigger megaphones, faster communication, more people who feel they need to share their opinion and more people who feel personally attached to debates that often have zero impact on their life.
Call me sexist or naive, and I know each decade had its share of problems, but decades ago as you said.... there seemed to be more of a social order. Women stayed with the kids and the home, men were leaders in the community, and when conflict arose... something tells me men handle things differently than women.

That is naive because that didn't happen in your lifetime. When we were growing up the idea of a dual income household was very much established already, outliers notwithstanding.
And men weren't all leaders in their community, plenty were alcoholics and gambling addicts and everything in between.
Watch Andy Griffith and pretend it's documentary if you like, that's not how it was. Comforts and conveniences aside, we're really just trading problems for their newer models—for which we do not yet have a solution.

Fair enough. Just seems there are plenty of annoying Karens around these days. It makes my ears hurt.

Maybe it's the rejection of the value of faith, family, traditions, and community. Maybe I'm turning into a @Jolly apostle.

That I believe is true. But it's important to remember that we've never had to deliberately choose to have those things like we do now.
For most people, abandoning these things wasn't a conscious choice—they just have lifestyles that now would require them to put in extra work to maintain them, and we've never been in that position before. No one had to work on being part of a community, we couldn't avoid it if we wanted to. These are all slightly new problems.
