I hold no reservations when it comes to close friends. They are undoubtedly a source of great joy and an indispensable component of a thriving and gratifying existence. However, my concern lies with the tendency of the political Left to associate dissimilar entities and assert that the nature of a particular thing is contingent upon one’s feelings. It is crucial to acknowledge that family holds a unique status, separate from close friendships; they are distinct entities and possess distinct values.

Over the course of many years, the American Left has been actively engaged in a campaign to undermine the institution of the American family. This agenda is evident in the recent remarks made by Joe Biden, where he stated, “There’s no such thing as someone else’s children.” These words uttered by a United States President are exceptionally revealing and disturbing. The family unit serves as the foundation of American society and healthy communities worldwide. By perpetuating the falsehood that friends and family are interchangeable, it becomes easier to detach individuals from their primary support system. This separation creates an opportunity for the government to step in and fill that void. Left-leaning ideologies have long employed this tactic.
