Media is now acknowledging that Trump and the MAGA movement have emerged victorious in the ongoing culture wars. This change in perspectives reflects a newfound wave of sanity washing over the nation. In a recent article by Politico, funded indirectly through taxpayer money via USAID, the authors surprisingly highlight Trump's 'common sense' approach to cultural issues, attributing his success to the very concept of wokeness. This phenomenon has united various groups—including the religious right and social libertarians—who, despite differing moral commitments, share a common disdain for all that is woke.
- The legacy media now acknowledges that Trump and MAGA have won the culture wars, attributing their success to the backlash against wokeness.
- A new political order is arising, characterized by civilizational populism that transcends traditional party lines and embraces a vertical divide between the people and the political class.
- As Democrats double down on outdated tactics, they risk alienating their constituents, while a super-majority of support for key issues is forming among Americans..
The Politico piece recognizes the unexpected alliance formed around defending women's rights and the integrity of women's sports—issues now ludicrously branded as far-right by Democrats. The article alludes to a deeper revelation: Democrats are currently imploding. Comedians like Jon Stewart are expressing confusion over their party’s increasingly ridiculous antics, their political stunts drawing widespread ridicule.
What is truly unfolding represents a new political order that leaves the liberal status quo in the dust. The convergence of three major Republican movements—the Reagan Revolution, the Contract with America, and Pat Buchanan’s Conservatism of the Heart—is redefining national politics as never before. Scholars now denote this phenomenon as civilizational populism, a term that encapsulates a shifting political landscape. This vertical realignment transitions the political narrative from a traditional left-right dichotomy to a clear divide between the ordinary citizen and the entrenched political class.
In this newly defined climate, the struggles that characterized past political differences are fading. The dynamics of race and party loyalty are fracturing, allowing unlikely allies such as RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to join forces with MAGA supporters. The old tactics employed by Democrats to maintain a horizontal divide within politics—characterized by attempts to brand right-leaning policies as oppressive—are faltering. As this shift takes hold, the fearfulness among Democrats becomes evident; the very wedge issues that once provided them a political foothold are becoming obsolete.
With the rise of vertical politics, a new super-majority is forming, united by critical issues such as border security, energy independence, and a rejection of DEI and woke initiatives. American voters are now more willing to come together around a shared agenda that transcends traditional party lines. As those in power continue to cling to outdated horizontal divisions, they risk alienating the very constituents they once relied upon.
The climate of dealignment emerges, where traditional political bonds weaken, paving the way for new coalitions to grow stronger and assertive. Trump and his allies understand this fundamental shift, becoming the embodiments of a movement poised to capture the hearts and votes of millions.
The deeper implications of this shift may signify the beginnings of a golden age, as truth begins to eclipse deception, and the public rallies behind a clarion call of accountability. The last few weeks may simply represent the tip of the iceberg in this transformational political landscape, and the winning is only just beginning for those aligned with this invigorated message of populism.
