It didn't.
If it were that bad, the Fat Ugly alcoholic Criminal Cow would be president.
Because it is no longer taught in school, many religious institutions, on college campuses, and at home.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?
Money quote: “I shouldn’t have to think about it.”
In context:
The substitution of unreasoned emotion for what should have been rational thinking is the underlying issue. But what adds fuel to the fire is a sense of UNEARNED entitlement.
Basically, unearned entitlement tells us, “If I feel something, then it should be true — and treated by others as true.” And that’s what’s behind these people refusing to exercise their common sense. “I shouldn’t have to think about it. It should just be taken care of.”
“I shouldn’t have to think about it.”
I'll give you two reasons. The first is "prosperity." Prosperity makes people stupid. People in stressful situations can't afford to be stupid. People in comfortable situations can.
The second answer is from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
More than half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.Since then I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.
Emotion has taken its place. Logic is not seen as the priority decision maker. The Propaganda insists that people agree with their talking points or they will be publicly shamed. If logic were allowed to rule, the propaganda and political correctness the oligarchy pushes to control us would fail. Its hypocrisy would glow in the dark.
Feelings are nonsense
Emotions are nonsense
Compete utter nonsense
Logic and self preservation are the ONLY REAL VALUABLE TRAITS

Common sense died when consequences died.
The problem with “Common Sense” is, that it isn’t too common...
Many people are narcissistic, I can do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it and you can’t tell me different. They have no shame, no guilt, a huge sense of self importance and entitlement. I firmly believed that with Obama’s presidency much of this behavior began and was even encouraged, (given his war on police, America, rule of law, etc.) Myself, I can’t even picture myself acting that way. It seems much more work to act like an ass all the time, put yourself in harms way, make a spectacle of yourself. Anytime I encounter one of these special people I do give them a “judgemental” look though.
Liberalism is ruining our culture.
Why? Because liberalism defies common sense and liberals are too lazy to do something else.
The Socratic dialectic is a distant, if not extinct (as a practical matter), practice.
