Just move to a red state, join a church, get new friends, etc.” as if ripping up your entire life and starting over is just a super simple thing for people to do.
I don't often fall back on my progressive bona fides, as the only child of a lesbian mother. I had 'two moms' before there were books about it.
You don't even have to move to a red state. In our very blue state, we've joined a local traditional church, and made new friends that are on the same page regarding the madness and degeneracy of current year.
Your attachment to an urban lifestyle may be working against you here.

Isn't the
Abortion is good if the child is low IQ/degenerate/black.
Perspective the same as the
Conservative: "A child's right to life is paramount, and killing them is wrong.
Perspective if only applied to my high-IQ, non-degenerate, white in-group?

Won't they just gets cats and wine like the current cohort of post-fertility women with fake email jobs?

They do so little handwriting in school I'm not surprised. There's some direct instruction but opportunities for incidental use / practice have been removed from much of the school day.

That would be the whole point of underwriting. To not fund high risk borrowers / disciplines / institutions. The remaining confirming loans could be sold off to a GSE to service after a period.

Writing also doesn't require spelling, penmanship or much actual writing.

It's not something fundamental about public schools, it's the students.
It's also the curriculum, teachers and administrators.
I would happily send my children to my elementary school too, in 1980, when I started half-day kindergarten.
The reality of school today is very different even in top decile areas than 1980. We've found our high performing public school to be insufficiently academicly rigorous. Our school committee feels more like PR or cheerleaders for the superintendent and faculty, who are products of post-modern education academia.

In the US there is far more non white crime yet the american middle class seems comfortable with diversity from their suburbs.
Here in the US suburbs do insulate their inhabitants from the realities of urban diversity, in combination with beliefs in progressive orthodoxys, is comforting.
Of course there are many in suburbs who are uncomfortable or oppose the seemingly open border, or would prefer a return to tough on crime policing, or involuntary commitment for a larger cohort of the mentally ill. The silent majority has leadership issues and has been splintered by many divisive topics.

I agree that loan forgiveness is not a solution, for anyone other than the students that would have their debt burden lifted.
I'd like to see underwriting standards for student loans that look at the human capital of the borrower and the proposed program of study. Only these conforming loans would be eligible for government guarantees, etc.

Moses said they could keep the virgins, after killing all the women and boys.

Now therefore kill every boy, and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man. But all the young women who have not had sexual intercourse with a man will be yours.

Suburbs were a terrible mistake in the US as it allowed cities to deteriorate without in impacting the elite.
And then for no reason at all, all the 'elite' moved to the suburbs.
I fundamentally believe that immigration policy would have been completely different if people who voted for diversity had the diversity in their neighbourhood.
This is why suburbs exist. The federal government and courts moved to address equity, the desires or votes of the majority mattered little. The resulting diversity motivated those that could, to move to the suburbs.
I understand your experience in Scandinavia is only recently enabling some to understand a reality that many in the US have known all their lives.

student loan forgiveness that enable students to study useless things and provide little value to the rest of us for the trouble
I not infrequently see this framing but it strikes me as being off, and fails to address the root of the problem.
While the things many students study are useless, the loans enable the University to teach useless disciplines. The University has no skin in the game. Like mortgage brokers, they've originated the loan, but don't hold or fund the debt. While being incentivised to originate as many as possible, here the barrier of lack of human capital able to engage in useful disciplines, may go someway to explain the expansion of uselessness.
Students may want to study useless things, they're young and mostly don't know any better. It should be the responsibility of the University to ensure uselessness is minimized and human capital is deployed efficiently in useful disciplines.

It's cast as the center and most important aspect of WW2, the reason for sparking it.
Doesn't this lead to, if there had been no jews, there would have been no WW2?

Who judges the mistreatment? The child is likely a poor judge.
The intervention in your hypothetical results in material improvement and better life. Grievance over something you can't change and resulted in better outcomes than non-intervention seems poorly considered. It may make the people who intervened wish they left you with your shitty birth family. Is that a better outcome, if it dissuades future positive interventions?

Expunge bad culture teach good culture.
We used to that. Do you have children in school? We're homeschooling, now.
The view now is that previous attempts to inculcate native peoples with the mindset and skills necessary for survival in western civilization is genocide.
I don't know what definition of genocide was available to them at the time.
I suspect the alternative was a more immediate form of genocide.

Do you geophys professionally?
I like to imagine someone geophysing my back yard 2000 years from now finding indications of high heat and excavating my burn pile pit. While interpreting it as some sort of 'ceremonial', offering location.
I've watched too much 'Time Team'.

Sure, the whore is concerned with the negative impact of their behavior on them. I wouldn't expect them to be particularly moved by the argument that tolerance of the behavior is bad for everyone.

Promiscuity can't be bad and undesirable regardless of risk?
The promiscuous shouldn't be ashamed because they're syphilitic, they should be ashamed because they're whores. It's not the risk it's the depravity.

This argument runs counter to the internet conspiracy that Michelle is / was a man and their children are not their natural children.

Maybe it's a protestent thing, ours has a fellowship hour following service every Sunday. There's tea, coffee, pastries, fruit, sandwiches, etc., in the fellowship hall.
There are also bible study groups, and opportunities for volunteering in support of church activities.
Why can't it be a church service and a social occasion? Does anyone linger to chat? Is there a bulletin, worship guide or website that lists upcoming activities? Are there any organized activities for the feast days?
I've only lived in Europe and the US, my experience may not translate.

What about memes? Can they project all the memes I've saved onto a screen next to a youthful happy picture me at my funeral?
Describing the enthusiasm for Trump as a personality cult I think misses why he's popular.
He's hated as are his supporters by blue tribe. That he's hated by his supporters opponents makes him attractive. The red tribers that hate him get labeled as RINO, uniparty would likely be a better description.
Voting for Trump is the protest vote for those wanting to see the Uniparty burn.
