“Let me start big. The mission of the Claremont Institute is to save Western civilization,” says Ryan Williams, the organization’s president, looking at the camera, in a crisp navy suit. “We’ve always aimed high.” A trumpet blares. America’s founding documents flash across the screen. Welcome to the intellectual home of America’s Trumpist right.
As Donald Trump rose to power, the Claremont universe—which sponsors fellowships and publications, including the Claremont Review of Books and The American Mind—rose with him, publishing essays that seemed to capture why the president appealed to so many Americans and attempting to map a political philosophy onto his presidency. Williams and his cohort are on a mission to tear down and remake the right; they believe that America has been riven into two fundamentally different countries, not least because of the rise of secularism. “The Founders were pretty unanimous, with Washington leading the way, that the Constitution is really only fit for a Christian people,” Williams told me. It’s possible that violence lies ahead. “I worry about such a conflict,” Williams told me. “The Civil War was terrible. It should be the thing we try to avoid almost at all costs.”
That almost is worth noticing. “The ideal endgame would be to effect a realignment of our politics and take control of all three branches of government for a generation or two,” Williams said. Trump has left office, at least for now, but those he inspired are determined to recapture power in American politics. My conversation with Williams has been condensed and lightly edited for clarity.

This didn't begin with Trump.
PS: It's always good to be prepared.
Those eeevvvviiiillll conservatives. We need to watch them VERRRYYY carefully!
Si Vis Pachem Para Bellum
this is the Atlantic stoking delusions of CW....while accusing the “conservatives” of doing so.
CLASSIC liberal/left PROJECTION...they accuse everyone else of exactly what it is they’re doing. Always
We might even win.
Do not worry about Americans burying their firearms.
Worry when they dig them up.
If it’s time to start burying them, it’s time to start digging them up.
We were here long before Trump, we'll be here long after he leaves. But it is perhaps time to consider breaking our political ties...

Secession
It's time for us to jettison those who reject our national values because there's no changing them. Time to secede.
We should extend the invitation to secede on a county by county basis.
While we're at it, since we'd be forming a new country, we should extend the invitation to counties in Canada and Mexico as well.
Note that this option is becoming increasingly popular.

Civil war coming? We are already there.
The Atlantic is fully a liberal drumbeat.
“Civil war coming? We are already there.”
Cold turning hot.
I just read an article family members are not buying presents (christmas/wedding/birthday) for other close family members they politically disagree with. Also not inviting people to seddings etc. I have never seen this not to say it has not happened in the last somewhere.
Yup.
I was a bitter clinger before I became a teabagger. Then I was a deplorable.
Now I’m a proud MAGAt.
Isn’t it hilarious when the democrats try to insult us and we make jokes and memes about it?
It seems to joyfully embrace everything that's happening to it now.
And no, the Claremont Institute ain't leading the way into Civil War II.
Nobody is going to f’in bury their firearms.
They will be USED if the Left continues to drive the tyrannical push like the communists in Spain just before civil war broke out there.
The Left if BEGGING for CW2. They are gonna get it if they continue driving the country off a cliff.
Let’s stop this silly talk of burying guns. They need to be ready in case we fail with the peaceful divorce.
I wrote this book in 2011 and have updated it for 2021. I predicted the current situation damn well. My book covers the whole menagerie of Leftist thought.

How useful are guns in a 21st century conflict? Look at wars this century from Iraq to Afghanistan to Ukraine only a small fraction of casualties were caused by firearms.
It’s not 1776 anymore.
I have disassociated with any and all leftist family and “friends.”
Don’t want them around, at all, ever. GTF off my social media, out of my phone and out of my life. Buh-by.
They can make friends with fellow abortionists, socialists and election thieves etc. Maybe go to a BLM meeting or something.
People who fk me and mine over when they vote and align themselves with hate-America trash aren’t friends.
Why do I get the feeling the powers that be are going to keep pushing until they provoke an armed conflict at which point they will go full totalitarian against the “domestic terrorists”.
I also get the feeling deep down we know what’s coming and we are going to deny it as long as possible as it will be awful and a lot of people will die.

I worry when they start burying them. That means they have already given up. It's coming. Nobody wants it to, but it's coming. The best you can do is get prepared for it now. Don't just stockpile weapons and ammo, get proficient with them. You can bet the ones that come for you will be proficient with theirs. Don't make the your last stand in your doorway. You're just endangering your family if you do. Be prepared to take the fight to them. That's the only way to win.
