"It is largely a consequence of broken homes, poverty, poor parenting, and poor education."

There's a certain amount of truth in that. I guess we should start relieving poverty, providing services to help parents and improve our education system.
Sounds pretty liberal to me.

"I think this starts with too many children"
Absolutely the root cause of most of the world's problems.

"growing up with a sense of entitlement as well as hopelessness. They have always received a trophy, have learned that achievement doesn't really matter, that they are not accountable for their own decisions or actions, they have failed to learn how to accept disappointment, that they are helpless victims, the deck is stacked against them, and generally live with no pride, self esteem or hope"
Not sure how entitlement leads to hopelessness and all that other stuff but maybe...

At the risk of introducing politics, the 'not accountable', 'fail to accept disappointment', 'victims' etc. seems to be what the MAGA wing is feeling.
