It’s a Cold Civil War—And It’s About Time We Started Fighting Back
For years, many of us have felt it. The gnawing sense that the gulf between us and the other side is more than just a political disagreement. It’s a chasm between two fundamentally different Americas, two irreconcilable visions for the future. Let’s call it what it is: a cold civil war. This isn’t a battle fought with muskets on open fields. It’s a war being waged in our institutions, on our streets, in our schools, and for the very soul of our nation.
The left initiated this conflict. They spent years systematically capturing our institutions and turning them against us, all while dismantling the pillars of our society.
First, they weaponized the government. The DOJ, the FBI, the IRS—these were no longer neutral arbiters of the law but the political arms of the progressive left. We witnessed a two-tiered system of justice where political opponents on the right were targeted with relentless investigations, while the left’s allies acted with impunity. This war extended to our wallets, as corporations, in lockstep with the left, began “debanking” conservatives, cutting off financial services to anyone who dared to voice a dissenting opinion. Their message was clear: conform or be erased from the economy.
Simultaneously, they launched an assault on our social fabric. They threw open our southern border, unleashing an unprecedented crisis designed not only to strain our economy and social services but to fundamentally and permanently alter the American electorate and culture. In their own cities, they championed reckless “no-bail” policies that coddled criminals and unleashed chaos onto the streets, abandoning law-abiding citizens to fend for themselves. This wasn’t incompetence; it was a deliberate strategy to break down social order.
Their most insidious attack was on our identity. With ahistorical drivel like the 1619 Project, they sought to rewrite our nation’s history, casting America not as a beacon of liberty but as a hopelessly oppressive state. They wanted to sever us from our founding principles to justify their radical agenda. And when they couldn’t win with ideas, they resorted to violence. In the summer of 2020, we watched as Antifa and BLM mobs torched our cities, tore down our statues, and attacked our police. People died in that violence. It was the moment the cold war turned hot, and the left either cheered it on or looked the other way.
For too long, the right was on the defensive. But now, we are finally fighting back.
The Trump administration’s agenda is not just a collection of policies; it is a direct and necessary counter-offensive to win this war. The first battleground is the federal bureaucracy—the “deep state” that worked to undermine a duly elected president. Through decisive executive action, the administration is cleaning house, ensuring that the people who run our government are accountable to the citizens, not to a progressive ideology. The war on “woke capital” is also underway, with a full-scale assault on ESG and the “debanking” regime to ensure that no American can be silenced financially for their political beliefs.
To counter the assault on our sovereignty, we are witnessing the largest deportation operation in American history. This isn’t just about immigration enforcement; it’s about declaring that the United States is a sovereign nation with laws and a distinct culture that are worth protecting. The era of open borders is over. To restore order to our cities, the administration is putting radical, soft-on-crime prosecutors on notice: if you will not enforce the law, the federal government will.
And finally, we are taking back our schools and our history. The push for “patriotic education” is the antidote to the poison of the 1619 Project, teaching our children to love their country, not to be ashamed of it. And unlike the left, which tolerated and even encouraged political violence from its radical fringe, this administration has made it clear that mobs like Antifa will be treated as the domestic terrorists they are.
This is the state of the nation. We are in a fight for the survival of the republic as it was founded. The left declared this war through their actions. Under President Trump, conservatives are finally waging a full-throated defense of America. The stakes are not just one election; the stakes are everything. And we do not intend to lose.
