President Trump is waging a nonstop, all-encompassing war against progressive culture, in magnitude analogous to what 19th-century Germans once called a "Kulturkampf."
As a result, not even former President George W. Bush has incurred the degree of hatred from the left that is now directed at Trump. For most of his time in office, Trump, his family, his friends and his businesses have been investigated, probed, dissected and constantly attacked.
In 2016 and early 2017, President Barack Obama's appointees in the FBI, CIA and Department of Justice tried to subvert the Trump campaign, interfere with his transition and, ultimately, abort his presidency. Now, congressional Democrats promise impeachment before the 2020 election.

President Trump is waging a nonstop, all-encompassing war against progressive culture,
...
There is nothing progressive about progressive culture.
No, he is not.
Perverts are in the ascent.
People are getting genital cosmetic surgery on Medicaid while others get no Medicaid help for asthma.
We’ve got more nutcases than ever before.
It ain’t like flipping a switch.
Trump is working to turn the tide. If you don’t like that, well, consider the alternative.
Trump has his hands full and is getting NO support from the GOP.
With that in mind, along with its constant, wholesale backing of Liberal issues and Liberal politicians, the MSM has not fulfilled its basic purpose of working in the best interest of all Americans. What ever ELSE a media is or OUGHT to be-… THAT is paramount for any ‘media’ worth the name.
Media conduct is appallingly unprincipled and unprofessional ENOUGH to put any rational person OFF ‘progressivism’ for good and all.
It tells you everything you need to know about the MSM, the GOP and about Trump.
I don’t see Hanson’s last sentence coming about. The leftists are going lefter every day with the gas pedal floored. They want destruction and death on a grand scale.
“No, he is not.
Perverts are in the ascent.”
Compared to any other elected republican, he’s Attila the Hun - with no army! Unfortunately we’ve left him to fight these huge battles all on his own.
How many of us have taken to the streets and gotten into people’s faces to protest the cultural rot going on?
It might be worthwhile to look in the mirror and ask that person “what are you doing to stop this madness”?
Do you think 30 years of corrosion can be reversed in a few years? He is turning things slowly it’s the only way things can be changed. He needs help not people casting stones because he is not going fast enough.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
IMHO the way to wage war on “progressive” (nothing pro-progress about it) culture is to cut “the MSM” (that is, the journalism cartel) off at the knees.And the way to do that is to successfully sue that cartel not only under the antitrust legislation but for libel. That implies going against a unanimous SCOTUS decision (New York Times Co. v. Sullivan) - but IMHO that is doable. The 1964 Sullivan decision was unanimous, but the Warren Court didn’t have Scalia on it - and the 1988 Morrison v. Olson decision woulda been unanimous too, but for Scalia’s famous dissent. And nobody now thinks Morrison is good law.
Grounds for overturning or sidestepping Sullivan include
- The fact that journalism is a cartel.
- The fact that that cartel has systematically conspired to promote privileges for itself at the expense of the rights of the people. Including the right of the people (even judges are people) to sue for libel when aggressively lied about on an industrial scale on matters not related to their exercise of their public duty.
- The fact that that cartel has systematically promoted cynicism towards society and naiveté towards unlimited government - directly what was not the intention of the founders of the Republic.
- The fact that the FCC allocates “the public airwaves” on the theory that journalists function systematically to promote the public interest - whereas they merely promote interest on the part of the public for their own ideas (as well as for those of advertisers, by which they make money).
Whereas Alexander Hamilton asserted that
“The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they intrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse which the people may receive from the arts of men, who flatter their prejudices to betray their interests.”the journalism cartel systematically seeks to inhibit "those to whom [the people] intrust the management of their affairs” from resisting such impulses.
I employ it regularly for those who criticize too forcefully from the comfort of their living rooms or behind the keyboard on their computer.
The guy out there actually "doing it" deserves our support even if he is not winning.
At least he's out there trying, which is better than most.
Good to see the graveyard has 2 new headstones.
Democrat Party / Progressive Culture
Thank you, I forgot to attribute the quote to TR
Gotta agree with you there.
Trump is picking his cultural battles carefully.
The Gay Mafia is still muscling its way to getting 80%+ of what it wants.
BTTT!
