Let's hope this spreads

I'm a millenial, waited until marriage, wife Gen Zer and same story. So I've observed this first hand, and not just in us. Mind you, we're both from a libtard city stronghold. So this isn't just isolated to conservative areas.
Other people around our age are increasingly often remarking regret about their choices. People can see the damage that being proud of being lazy and useless causes, along with all the gender nonsense and whoring around for self-validation.
Millenials are, on average, deeply insecure and keep trying to be "fun" with any means necessary instead of working on themselves.
There is a shift coming, how big remains to be seen.
I just hope that this time around we'll be smarter than shouting our kids down when they start getting interested in slippery slopes. There are things that conservatives shut down too hard in the past that can be a blessing when approached properly. Then there are others [things] that kids will do out of spite if they're told they can't in the wrong way and at the wrong time.
Would you consider psychedelics a “drug”? I can tell you there are many benefits to be had through those if done in the right setting and amounts.
Sure. I live in a city but know many people from villages and towns.
Most people I know tend to be very anti-conservative because of a "stick-up-the-ass" attitude of (some) conservatives. Please understand that I'm not saying that all, or even the average, conservative is that way. But it doesn't take many drops to poison the well. Especially in absence of people pointing to an issue.
What fundamentally appears to happen is that people idolize their moral values so strongly that they begin demonizing (willingly or unwittingly) anyone who doesn't follow them to the tee, or close themselves off from learning and growing.
The war on drugs is one example. Just like with people, not all are bad and some are good (even including cures for diseases big pharma is exacerbating and keeping alive for profit). Not all applications and uses are bad and some are good.
Telling people that "weed is devil's lettuce" or that all drugs will lead to demise is not just MSM style fearmongering (and I believe it was seeded by the same shitbags in the first place), but objectively wrong.
Nobody should ever take drugs as lightly as so many idiots are of course. They're powerful substances that just like any other tool can be destructive or beneficial.
When kids start doing them with the wrong mindset, e.g. fearmongering and bullshit that turns out objectively false, then they're at great risk of walking down bad roads. A longer-term end-result is precisely what you see in liberal places. Though those places have gotten so extreme now that zoomers are starting to become conservatives just because they've seen what happened with millenials.
It's not just the media et. al. that are to blame. It's also people being too militant in pushing their beliefs. Just communicate your findings, stop trying to forcefully convince people unless you want to achieve the opposite effect.
tl;dr Life is about learning, which involves communication and listening. Nobody is going to listen to someone who tries to force themselves upon them. Worst case with stubborn backlash that will ripple through society and put our way of life at risk.
No, it's still both sides as far as I can tell. Just because liberals are doing it as well doesn't mean conservatives aren't contributing to the shit show.
Parents are just being lazy when they shut their kids down instead of teaching them about objective research and self-responsibility. And the result are libtards, who just try to right those wrongs and eventually go way overboard themselves.
It puzzles me that you bring an example of exactly the problem I've talked about while trying to claim almost the exact opposite.
Guess humans naturally tend to project.
