New Book Explores Cultural Entropy Eroding Traditional Marriage, Family Norms

Center-left media outlets know they can gin up a couple of curiosity- or hate-based clicks by periodically profiling some new “trend” in the upper-middle-class mating scene. “Ethical nonmonogamy” has had its day, “polyamory memoirs” get respectful reviews, and major broadcast networks know they can pull in some rubberneckers curious about pairings that go from “Couple to Throuple.” After all, once society has deconstructed marriage down to the point of meaninglessness, why should we have any compunction about celebrating such creative alternatives to bourgeois fidelity? If Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice want to go all in on creating a modern-day polycule, what difference does that make to us? The push to unwind traditional social scripts around marriage, fidelity, commitment, and procreation hasn’t just been a question of individual fulfillment, but also has had widespread social consequences. That’s the argument made by Washington Examiner commentary editor and former Senate staffer Conn Carroll in his new book, “Sex and the Citizen: How the Assault on Marriage Is Destroying Democracy.” Carroll takes the reader on a globe-trotting tour across the ages, dipping into evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and history to make the case that “monogamous marriage binds men and women into a long-term project of cooperative care for each other and their children,” and that we tinker with that wisdom at our peril. The casual reader’s mileage may vary on how much academic speculation about the mating habits of primates or our Pleistocene-era ancestors can tell us about the form and structure of what family life should look like today. But Carroll’s dissection of how modern liberals and leftists try to justify their preference for maximum autonomy by appealing to prehistoric biology and postmodern critical theory is worth taking seriously. And the anthropological excursions are in service of a broader point; namely, that marriage is instituted for the well-being of children, not the two (or more) consenting adults that would enter into it. As former Heritage Foundation scholar (and my current boss) Ryan T. Anderson pointed out in 2013: “State recognition of marriage protects children by encouraging men and women to commit to each other and take responsibility for their children. While respecting everyone’s liberty, government rightly recognizes, protects, and promotes marriage as the ideal institution for childbearing and childrearing … [yet] in recent decades, marriage has been weakened by a revisionist view that is more about adults’ desires than children’s needs.” The cultural and legal skirmish that ended in Obergefell v. Hodges was just one form of attempting to redefine marriage around adult companionship, rather than being the institution properly ordered toward the bearing and rearing of children. Marriage is no longer about how best to order society to support the children male-female romantic partnerships inevitably produce, and is instead about increasingly surpassing the bounds of tradition and biology in the name of autonomy. And as we are seeing in popular magazines, and will doubtless see in courts, an uncomplicated logic of “love is love” has no inherent guardrails to prevent against ethical monogamy, polyandry or polygyny, or other forms of nonexclusive romantic relationships from being recognized in the same way as traditional marriage. Some left-wing activists don’t just want to abolish the gender binary when it comes to self-expression. They’d like to see the entire idea of the binary relationship at the heart of parenthood blown up and replaced with one of “chosen family.” We see this in the push to replace or erase a child’s biological parents on birth certificates, robbing them of not just information about their biological ancestry, but potential information about their genetic predisposition to certain diseases. Italy’s recent decision to ban international surrogacy for its citizens is a welcome pushback against the mindset that children should be able to be purchased on the open market, rather than the natural result of a loving two-parent household. Carroll delves into the historical record to argue that the monogamous, conjugal family so many think of as traditional was actually an outgrowth of the distinctive understanding of the human person that Christianity introduced to the Western world. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that as traditional religious belief begins to decline, so too does the traditional conception of marriage as being oriented toward procreation, permanence, and fidelity. Now, marriage is just one life path among many, to be undertaken once the participants are materially comfortable, having sown their wild oats, gotten that big promotion, and are ready to throw a big party for their friends and extended family. Carroll rightly worries that “marriage” is becoming, in the words of Johns Hopkins sociologist Andrew Cherlin, a “capstone” rather than a “cornerstone.” We’ve hollowed out the economic and social privileges that used to be associated with marriage, which means that it is now predominantly being entered into by those who already have those benefits. That helps explain why the decline in marriage rates have been fastest among adults without a college degree. Carroll has a proscriptive vision for conservatives: “Marriage doesn’t have to be the new marker of class and privilege. It can be a foundational, egalitarian, and democratizing institution for every American again.” That will require a shift from the current GOP, which tends to offer lip service in favor of being pro-family without necessarily offering economic and social policy plans up to the task. Making men more marriageable, rewarding marriage over cohabitation, prioritizing an affordability agenda, and more should be at the top of a Republican agenda. The cultural trends that Carroll traces didn’t happen overnight. Restoring marriage may well take decades, if not longer, but can be accelerated through sound economic policies. After all, the familiar wreckage he highlights from marriage’s decline—more children raised in unstable homes, depressed rates of economic mobility, higher levels of loneliness and social isolation, rising opioid deaths, falling birth rates—are too important to shrug our shoulders at. Seeing marriage as something more than simply one life choice among others—that is, more than just serial cohabitation that starts with a blowout party on a Caribbean island somewhere—would go a long way to restoring a popular understanding of family as the cornerstone of a healthy society. “Sex and the Citizen” is a welcome contribution to these discussions, and Carroll’s point—that marriage has an inevitable social dimension, not just an individual one—is one that more conservatives should understand and apply to debates about how to best to save America in the years ahead. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.

Justice Department Reportedly Sends Warning Letter To Elon Musk

The U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to Elon Musk’s America PAC that his $1 million giveaway to registered voters who signed its petition supporting the First and Second Amendments may violate federal law. Musk is giving away $1 million to random registered voters in battleground states who signed the petition every day until the election. #BREAKING: The Department of Justice has sent and issued a warning letter to Elon Musk America PAC, citing concerns over potential legal violations tied to its $1 million voter lottery. pic.twitter.com/i86nOBrKFT — R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) October 23, 2024 Per CNN: Musk’s initial promise to pay prizes to registered voters immediately raised concerns from election law experts and some state officials who questioned whether it ran afoul of the law. Federal law bars paying people to register to vote. The language of the petition currently promises $1 million prizes to people chosen at random for signing a petition in support of First and Second Amendment freedoms. But to sign the petition, you must be registered to vote in specific states. A letter from the Justice Department’s public integrity section, which investigates potential election-related law violations, went to Musk’s political action committee, according to people briefed on the matter. CNN has reached out seeking comment from Musk, several email addresses listed on the super PAC’s website, the group’s treasurer, and Musk’s press team at the X platform.

Just more election interference by @USDOJ trying to intimidate @elonmusk,” Robert Barnes commented. It's not illegal. Just more election interference by @USDOJ trying to intimidate @elonmusk https://t.co/E0pL6BWwCC — Robert Barnes (@barnes_law) October 23, 2024 From The New York Times: Similar warning letters from the department’s public integrity unit have been sent to businesses and organizations that tied promotions to voting and are intended to suggest that continuing such an activity could result in a criminal investigation. The letters typically do not outline the department’s next steps and are intended to force the recipient to make changes to conform with the law. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment. Mr. Musk, the super PAC and its lawyer did not offer a comment on Tuesday or Wednesday. The news was first reported by the 24Sight newsletter. It is illegal to pay people to register to vote. The idea for Mr. Musk’s petition in support of the First and Second Amendments was novel, coming in part from one of Mr. Musk’s longtime executives who was advising the super PAC, called America PAC. But some campaign-finance lawyers and Democrats said they believed it overstepped by inducing people to register with the sweepstakes. Three voters in Pennsylvania and one in North Carolina have been awarded $1 million checks, and Mr. Musk has promised to award one voter $1 million every day through Election Day as part of his efforts on behalf of former President Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign. WATCH:

Trump-Vance Campaign Files FEC Complaint – Alleges Foreign Election Interference

The Trump-Vance campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the Harris-Walz campaign and the Labour Party of the United Kingdom for “illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference in our elections.” “In two weeks, Americans will once again reject the oppression of big government that we rejected in 1776. The flailing Harris-Walz campaign is seeking foreign influence to boost its radical message – because they know they can’t win the American people. President Trump will return strength to the White House and put America, and our people, first. The Harris campaign’s acceptance and use of this illegal foreign assistance is just another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference,” Trump-Vance campaign co-manager Susie Wiles stated. “The far-left Labour Party has inspired Kamala’s dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric. In recent weeks, they have recruited and sent party members to campaign for Kamala in critical battleground states, attempting to influence our election,” a statement from the Trump-Vance campaign read. “President Trump’s message of freedom, prosperity, and America First is resonating with the American people, because that’s what our Founders intended,” it added.

Election Interference? British Labour Party Staffers Reportedly To Campaign For Kamala Harris In Battleground States From The Hill: The group offered to send 100 current and former Labour Party staff to battleground states such as Pennsylvania and North Carolina to campaign for Harris, the complaint states. It also cites a LinkedIn post from Sofia Patel, Labour’s head of operations, in which she said she would sort out the volunteers’ housing. The Labour Party declined to comment, and it’s unclear whether it has been in touch with the Harris-Walz campaign about its plans. Trump currently has a 0.2 percentage point lead in Pennsylvania and a 0.6 percentage point lead in North Carolina, according to the latest Decision Desk HQ/The Hill polling average. Both will be crucial to determining the November election.

(@MrAndyNgo) October 23, 2024 According to reports, Patel said in the alleged LinkedIn post that staffers would travel to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. “I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina – we will sort your housing,” the alleged LinkedIn post read. “Hello @UKLabour. You are breaking @FEC laws. Foreign nationals are not allowed to be involved in anyway in U.S. elections. Please go back to the UK and fix your own mass immigration problems that are ruining your country. See next post for FEC laws,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said. Hello @UKLabour.

Marjorie Taylor Greene X Post * POLITICO reports: It filed a legal complaint to the Federal Electoral Commission alleging that a call-out for activists on LinkedIn from Labour aide Sofia Patel suggests Labour is funding its troops to support the Democrats. "Those searching for foreign interference in our elections need to look no further than Ms. Patel’s LinkedIn post," said the letter from Trump campaign lawyer Gary Lawkowski. "The interference is occurring in plain sight." Lawkowski demanded the FEC launch an investigation. Labour insists the activists are paying for their own travel and crashing on the floors of fellow Democrat activists, therefore keeping withing the FEC spending rules for overseas volunteers. A Trump-prompted probe could double check their workings. Read the complaint HERE.

Prison Waits for Donald Trump

This week, Joe Biden called for Donald Trump to be locked up. He was serious, which reminded us of the 34 phony felony convictions in Manhattan and the cases waiting for him in D.C. and Georgia. The 34 felonies are the first up, with sentencing on November 26. The very biased Judge Merchan delayed it […] The post Prison Waits for Donald Trump appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Trump Blasts Dem Senators’ Attempts To Tie Themselves To Him Days Before Election

Former President Donald Trump ripped Democrat senators on Wednesday for attempting to tie themselves to some of his policies as they seek re-election. Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Jon Tester (D-MT), who are all running against Republicans in tight races, have released ads promoting their support of certain Trump administration policies, Axios reported. Trump slammed the senators in a post on Truth Social, saying they “only pretend” to support his policies “when Elections roll around.” “Kamala Harris’ sinking Campaign has become so TOXIC, that Democrat Senators in four different States are using me in their advertisements, and stating that they are with President Trump on Tariffs, and numerous other things. While it is a great compliment, it is not fair to those Republican Senate Candidates, Bernie Moreno, Dave McCormick, Eric Hovde, and Sam Brown, who are with me all the time,” Trump wrote. “These Democrats have voted with Crooked Joe Biden almost 100% of the time. They only pretend to be on my side when Elections roll around. OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEVADA: VOTE FOR BERNIE MORENO, DAVE MCCORMICK, ERIC HOVDE, AND SAM BROWN – THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE WITH US!” In a Casey ad that was released last week, the narrator says that “Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating.” A Baldwin ad states, “Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill.” An ad released earlier this year says that Brown “wrote a bill that Donald Trump signed to crack down on drugs at the border.” Tester, meanwhile, has been featured in ads that feature Republicans who will be voting for Trump and backing Tester. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Michigan Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who is running for retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s seat, also boasts in a recent ad that she “wrote a law signed by President Trump forcing drug companies to show their actual prices.” Trump and Republican Senate candidates have recently gained ground in the polling. In Pennsylvania, Casey’s lead over Dave McCormick has been cut from 5 points at the end of September to just 1.9 points as of Wednesday afternoon, according to the RealClearPolitics average. In Wisconsin, Baldwin leads Republican Eric Hovde by just 1.5 points, and in Ohio, Brown is ahead of Bernie Moreno by less than 1 percentage point per the RCP average. Republican Tim Sheehy is favored to take Tester’s seat in Montana as he leads the Democrat by an average of 7 points in the polls.
