Millennials are reshaping the American dream, but perhaps not for the better. The decline in marriages and a growing reluctance to have children are chipping away at the traditional “nuclear family” concept that this nation was built on. They are being heavily influenced by media propaganda and the push from left-wing radicals. However, don’t be fooled; this isn’t just some lifestyle choice—it’s a dramatic and dangerous shift that will fundamentally alter the fabric of American society. Millennials are getting caught up in this skewed idea that having fewer kids is their way to “save the planet.” It’s a twisted message, and, frankly, it’s not even close to the truth.

But you almost can’t blame these clueless folks. This dangerous message is literally everywhere.

As a result, the US is facing a massive decline in births.

Millennial women in their 40s are at the forefront of this trend, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon.

Fortune:

A whopping quarter of American 40-year-olds have never been married—an all-time high, according to a recent Pew Research Center report.

It’s not as if the unwed are cohabitating instead. A mere 22% are living with a romantic partner, according to the center’s analysis of 2022 Census Bureau data, released last week.

The trend of never-been-married mid-aged Americans has been decades in the making. For the first decade of the 20th century, only around 16% of 40-year-olds had never married. That rate began dropping shortly thereafter and fell dramatically during the postwar years—to a low of around 6% in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. But in 2010 the rate of unmarried 40-year-olds then began a dramatic upward ascent to 20%, and up another 5% to 25% in 2021, according to Pew.

At this rate, millennials have officially nuked the American “nuclear family.” The Fortune piece goes on:

That a record number of the country’s 40-year-olds aren’t married—and that most unmarried 40-year-olds aren’t cohabitating—signifies shifting norms in family formations.

Millennials—the 40-year-olds in question—have historically been less enthusiastic about marriage and childbearing than their parents, or have at least delayed the milestones while they prioritize their careers and their finances. Two recessions before midlife, a subpar job market postgraduation, massive student loan debt, and a housing affordability crisis certainly haven’t helped matters.

Waiting until later in life to form a family, or merely choosing singledom, is one factor of many affecting the country’s fertility rate, which has been on the decline for several decades. It never rebounded after the Great Recession and hit a record low in 2020, according to a recent report from Pew Charitable Trusts.

But some 40-year-olds were more likely to have never married than their peers, Pew’s analysis found. That includes men compared to women; Black Americans compared to Hispanics, whites, and Asians; and nondegree holders compared to those who graduated from college.

If history continues on this course, about a quarter of those hitting 40 without a ring might still hear wedding bells in the future. However, having kids in your 40s tags you with a “high-risk” label, leaving us wondering how future statistics will reflect this trend. Essentially, Millennials, much like the Baby Boomers before them, are steering America in a new direction. But this time around, it’s less about a baby boom and more about the rise of cat ladies and wine aunts.
