It's quite simple, really. The "communists" won the culture war. I don't mean this flippantly.

Deconstruction of the nuclear family and organized religion are and always have been core to the process.

> On January 10, 1963, at the request of constituent Patricia Nordman, Herlong read into the Congressional Record a list of 45 goals of communism from the book The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen.[5]

p35

> 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity, as "normal, natural, healthy."

> 27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch.

> 40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

Take a look at the rest of the list and tell me this isn't the same ideological warzone we see today with the current fringe right and progressive orthodoxies.

Edit: added scare quotes to "communists"
