The boomers tried free love, and it worked ok for a little while because they still had the old ways of doing things to fall back on. Their kids on the other hand lived in a world without the old ways of doing things, and it was a catastrophe that made nobody happy.
Ironically, without meaning to or intending to, younger generations are now starting to try to figure out what to do, and in doing so are rediscovering the old ways of doing things.

Once I started looking at the data, it became undeniable. One you start to see the statistical outcomes for kids who grow up in non-standard homes such as single parent households, it looks like a crime against humanity to advocate for such things.
Shit happens, I'm not saying that every instance of divorce can be avoided. My parents split up when I was growing up. But given the outcomes, it makes the most sense to at least aim at a boring conventional family because it's best for the children and thereby for the world.

I have a hypothesis about things. People wonder why they kept Biden in so long and think there was some sort of big master plan at work to draft another candidate in like Ricky Bobby. To me, it makes sense through the frame of "everything Trump says is a lie at all times" being the core message of the Democrats.
From that stance, something as important as the core of the Republican's entire push against Biden for the past 4 years must not turn out to be true no matter what, because if something like that which the entire establishment pushed back against turns out to be true, it's devastating to their frame.
If it turns out the Democrats were lying about something that important all this time, and the Republicans were telling the truth, what else were they telling the truth about? What else were the Democrats lying about?
The election is in only 5 months (It's June, election is in October), and so if they do get Biden to step down it'll be crushing to the Democrats for different reasons, so I doubt they wanted to do it now but the horrible showing in the debates is forcing their hand. I think they were hoping Biden could power through, and if they could get him through a couple solid debate performances then slide into the presidency through pure hatred of Trump. In that case they'd have 4 years to groom a successor. As things stand, they'll be putting up someone for president who didn't win any primaries and just got jammed in at the last second.
Their other challenge at this point is going to be figuring out a way not to make Kamala Harris the candidate because she's not seen as likable or competent, it would be a red wave like Reagan if she was the candidate. Forcing Kamala out would also end up proving a second fact the Republicans were saying, so it'd be a one-two punch explicitly saying neither of them is fit for the job despite constantly saying they were.
It wouldn't be so devastatingly frame breaking if the reality distortion field wasn't so critical to their electoral strategy. They need to be the sole source of truth so they can tell the electorate the sky is green and grass is blue in order to sell what they're selling.
