America’s in a civil war. Not a cocktail party war like Vietnam or Afghanistan where Americans stand around and talk about it but relatively few are personally impacted. No, this a WWII level existential threat war where the difference between victory and defeat is literally freedom or tyranny. One need look no farther than what Adolph Trudeau is doing in Canada right now to understand what the future holds.
This war has been simmering for decades and most Americans didn’t even notice. Now it’s obvious. Virtually every element of traditional American culture is being destroyed. The left has decided that the United States is a plague on humanity and must be eliminated.
In this case the “left” consists of government, media, big tech, big business, and academia, among others.
Here’s a short list of their targets…
Turning schools into leftist Indoctrination centers
Government control of your neighborhood
Money / Driver’s licenses / Voting for illegals
Encouraging / Empowering homelessness
And of course, most problematic of all is their successful coup d'état.
With that and more, do we still live in a free country? Obviously not.
Which brings us back to war. Ask yourself, if someone declared war on America, what more might they do in victory? Other than killing you or turning you into slaves, what more is there?
Some argue we’re not in a war, citing polls that show a majority of Americans don’t like those leftist positions. That’s accurate, but it doesn’t matter. The majority doesn’t count. The people who “count”, the opinion makers, those in academia, media, high tech, etc are the hardcore leftists behind all of this, and as we all know, the squeaky wheel gets the oil.
Americans have traditionally been ambivalent about government. For most politics was something to be endured every four years and after the election life got back to normal.
But no longer. If you were a Teddy Roosevelt partisan or a fan of Truman or IKE, whether your guy won or lost didn’t matter tremendously to the average American. Maybe your taxes would go up or down a bit or maybe the price of gasoline or chicken might change a bit, but that was it for most people, because government, particularly the federal government had little impact on their everyday lives.
Today not so much. In America of 2022 the federal government impacts almost every aspect of American lives, daily. The price of gas, grades of meat, rate of pay at work, MPG for your car, Epi-Pens, not to mention vaccine mandates, gun regulations and shipping illegal immigrants to your neighborhood. But it’s not just the federal government. It’s state and local government as well. From inane licensing requirements for hairdressers, bartenders and Uber drivers to union-centric dysfunctional schools and gun laws that outlaw the 2nd Amendment in all but name, the fists of the federal fit perfectly into the state and local regulatory gloves, together strangling American freedom.
But government’s not the only front in this war. There’s culture too. From social media – the 21st century’s public square – to mass media to academia and big business, the left dominates. Not just dominates as in winning, but dominate as in ruling over everyone else. Live and let live is not an axiom the left recognizes or exercises. No, the left demands fealty or will crush you. They’ll destroy your business, get you fired or banned from social media, take your kids away, kick you out of college and anything else they can think of.
Today we’re seeing the government leviathan becoming even more powerful as it assimilates with the leftist borg. We saw it for four years as the FBI worked side by side with the media to tarnish Donald Trump’s name and destroy his presidency. Now, Joe Biden has encouraged the silencing of “misinformation”.
At the same time the federal government has essentially established a gulag to house political prisoners who participated in the “insurrection” despite many being invited into the building by the police, some never entering the building at all and most having been involved in no violence whatsoever. Some of these “terrorists” have been sitting, without charges or bail, in jails for over a year. That treatment stands in stark contrast to the treatment of those who participated in the violent and deadly BLM / Antifa riots of the summer of 2020, most of whom were bailed out in the unlikely event they ended up in custody in the first place.
All of this points to a fracture of America.

The existential threat to America is the open border and was the primary reason both parties colluded to cheat Trump out.
They have been keeping the border open and the laws unenforced to intentionally change the demographics of the country against the will of the citizens for 30 years.
They are literally importing the voters needed to steal our country from us.
