I find myself increasingly asking this as go about a normal day. People being generally rude, overly competitive coworkers, heads buried in cell phones, service people being snarky, neighbors being jerks...it’s everywhere. We are becoming a nation of assholes. I am not that old but I can remember some 20 years ago, it was different. People were more decent to one another.
Am I alone? Do you see similar changes?

I deal with this often every day, where ever I go.
About 3 months ago, I was at Dunkin Donuts and the last infront of me told me to pick out anything I wanted and she was going to pay for me, I asked why, she said that people have forgotten to be kind to eachother and that she’s going to do one good/nice thing a day for someone.

Bipartisan politics in the current climate certainly contributes to what the OP is pointing out. It is also partly in response to the changes you describe. I would also say that as time passes, people are less connected to one another, more so than ever before. Part of it is generational, part is technology, part is spiritual, some would say a lack thereof but even that is evolving. Norms and society are moving in new directions.
For example, I attend a small church, and the congregation is dwindling to the point that it will close no doubt in the next decade. A lot of factors at play, some obvious but others not. While there are still young people that attend, they are finding other outlets and ways to worship that go beyond traditional attendance and participation. So I would hesitate to say that young people don’t believe - their need and fulfillment is just totally different than their parents.
There is radical, swift change in other areas of American life too - more now than in the last 50 years. The world that someone born after the mid-2000’s will live in, work in, raise a family in - “society” for them will look nothing like their parents experience. And that will be a first for the past couple of generations at least. If you were born in the 70’s, 80s and most of the 1990s, your life as an adult probably looks similar enough to your parents.

God is turning on us since we are turning on him.
The future is set in stone.
Hillary, Howard Stern, Oprah, Ellen, Alec Baldwin, Dianne Feinstein will all kneel before the lord before their judgement and horrifying eternity.

Liberalism is to blame for all the bad shit in the world, especially the USA. Americans are peace loving and positive people. Libtards hate and destroy everything.

Parenting has gone to hell in a hand-basket.
