You probably going to need to define what you mean by family because family can mean a lot of things and while you are at it define what you consider as being dysfunctional that you believe is happening.

I define in a post, this post below.

Criticizing the "dysfunction of the family unit" as others have said often sounds like a bit of a dog whistle, but I would like you to explain what you mean by this before I respond to it or criticize. So, care to explain plainly what "the dysfunction of the family unit" means to you?

I should have used the word disintegration, I hope you can excuse my lack of using the correct term (I was trying to remember the word disintegration but couldn't until now).
The disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations great calamities. Hence why I said the destruction of the United States of America.

I don't care what people are told to do (in a informational setting), I personally like to learn for myself, ponder the studying, and find examples, and understand what will be a consequence (good or bad). No one likes a sheeple.

In order for me to fully explain, I would have to go to topics that aren't political, so I'll just give the basic idea.
I firmly believe that the family is a fundamental unit in society. A common family is one with a man and a woman legally bonded in matrimony, that respect and preserve their marital vows with complete fidelity, with the want to have children (and eventually, hopefully, do), and the parents teach their children. Both parents are to help one another as equal partners as well. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation.

I search for responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere (and hopefuly they are some) that promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.

This disintegration of the family leads to calamities for any community, or nation.
Here are just some:

A disintegration is the lack of protecting it.
This disintegration comes from:

• Lack of family responsibilities (Equal partnership, sexual commitment to the partner, two parent household, divorcing, parents not protecting their families nor providing the necessities of life nor nurturing children, abandonment, domestic and sexual violence, cohabitation, etc.)
• Lack of teaching values to the children (forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, wholesome recreational activities, faith, hope, charity, virtue, knowledge, patience, humility, diligence, obedience, honesty, trust, how to overcome addiction, how to be law-abiding citizens, etc.)

There are scenarios where a divorce is better than a hated marriage, but I'm focusing on the commonalities. 
And disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Hopefully extended families can lend support when needed.

Thank you for that question! I think it's an underlying problem that many do not see.
