You're making a lot out of very little.  The point is all four things on the list have become less common in the US.  Do you want to discuss if the bad things are becoming less common, or do you want to keep making the thread about me?

If divorce has become less common it's because fewer people are getting married. Now they just live together which doesn't require divorce when they go their separate ways. 

If instances of rape are fewer that's great, but I suspect it's because fewer are being reported. They're grossly underreported anyway. 

I do not believe "crimes of morality" have decreased. I just think people don't see what the point is of reporting crimes that aren't taken seriously in a post-2020/BLM/defund the police America where even serial criminals aren't even seen as criminals anymore. 

I also look around and do not believe moral behavior has swung back into the green. Maybe my definition of moral behavior is different but people are just as bad now as they were 3 years ago in how they treat each other. Definitely worse post-2020. That is a benchmark year for a before and after snapshot of how people behave towards each other. Actually the run up to 2016 falls into that category but I'm not discussing anything Trump related with you.
