No, I think you've missed the chain of events. The free-loving malcontents of the 60's and 70's resented power that they did not control. So they have now reached the point in which they would have had the wisdom to govern, but in reality, they just want the power.The 40's and the end of WWII gave rise to unprecedented prosperity of the Middle Class.
The 50's gave rise to a movement of rebelliousness and questioning old dogma.
The 60's gave rise to psychedelic drugs, free love, and the counter culture where anti-American sentiment began to be taught. It was an era of depravity and societal decay. It was out of this that the modern democrat liberal progressive was born.
As they grew up, they took positions of authority and education, gradually swaying our society to where many of their new deal doctrines were interwoven into the thinking gradually until accepted and normalized.
Today, we are reaping the results of that social experiment, an age where the revolutionaries are no longer just rioting and burning in the streets, but figuratively in the halls of government, media and universities. Where is it unacceptable to NOT think like them. Where it is acceptable to believe our Founders and nation are actually the cause of the world's problems rather than its salvation. Where pipe tobacco is restricted but marijuana is sold openly in stores. Where half the country no longer takes care of itself but lives off government programs and its productive members. It is a self-destructive movement where nothing is sacred and everything traditional is game for derision. The democratic party today no long has anything to do with the democratic party of even 30 years ago, it is the unraveling of a generation built upon self-loathing and contempt for itself turned outward on everything it touches.

The modern liberal is angry, but they cannot even tell you what they are angry over. In culture, they weaken the family unit, so what are they good for? Used in the military, they weaken our defense. Used in industry, they weaken the economy. Used in education, they weaken the young mind. Used in Journalism, they misinform and mislead the populace. What is left for them than to either live off the public dole or to get jobs working in government as politicians, social workers, etc., where incompetence is both tolerated and protected, they weaken the entire nation.
It is a generation of defectives and malcontents that we are stuck with until we outgrow them and a newer, better generation comes in to replace them.
That isn't really anything new, as each generation has that problem. The real problem that was caused by this generation is how they raised their kids. They screwed up their kids and then those kids have become parents and they too are following failed parenting models and it has just started to snowball. Couple that with their control of the education system, and they can drive this nation into utter ruin within another 4 generations.
I'm just glad I won't be around to see it.
