Yes, and it is a deadly disease. It's called decadence. It promises to destroy Europe where all the wars and plagues did not, and, if the American people succumb to it, it will destroy America too.

It is a sickness. It kills civilizations, ideas, and people.
“the liberal sickness is spreading.”
some also call it tyranny.
