America Is at War With a ‘Woke Regime’ at Home – And Enemies Abroad

-

ANALYSIS – As the political, cultural and geographic battle lines for a 2nd American civil war, or ‘,' continue to be drawn, the question is – are we already fighting this war?

To some, this war already began.

For the right we are ‘at war' against a ‘woke Biden regime, just as the left was ‘at war' against an ‘illegitimate Trump regime.'

But it's about far more than that. It's about the ever-widening ideological chasm between right and left.

We are at a crossroads in defining what America still is or will be. And the battle for that already began and is about to get much hotter.

And the timing couldn't be worse, as America faces mounting threats from abroad – especially the increasing likelihood of full scale war with our most powerful enemy to date – Communist China.

But even as we prepare for a looming war in Asia, and supply an ongoing war in Europe, the risk of war at home may also be growing.

Most recently podcaster Michele Tafoya posted an excerpt from a recent essay, which explains how Republican politicians should combat “woke tyranny.”

The essay, by John Fonte and Thomas Klingenstein, rightly focuses on shaping public opinion in this new homegrown political war, but the implications for deeper conflict are clear.

And here is where the intellectual battle lines are being drawn:

The enemy is the ‘woke regime.' The word “regime” is important, because it suggests an all-out, comprehensive assault on the American way of life…

Why “Americanists” vs. “woke revolutionaries” and not, say, “conservatives” vs. “progressives”?

These latter names suggest we are in a normal policy dispute within the traditional context of American , in which both sides accept the legitimacy of the American regime. We are not in such a context. We are not living in the bygone world of Reagan vs. Mondale. We are in a war.”

A friend and colleague at the Center for American Defense Studies (CADS), Lt. General Robert Spalding, a well-known China threat expert, also agreed with this sentiment when he replied with his own tweet:

“This is not America vs America. This is America's enemies + the woke regime vs America…”

In his tweet, Spalding emphasizes the link between our deadly enemies abroad and our radical enemies at home.

Of course, the establishment will focus on, and try to denigrate, the right's new ‘resistance' narrative.

But let's recall what the left now wants us to forget – that just three years ago, far-left Democrats were the ones frantically championing the idea of undermining and resisting a duly elected president , calling his election illegitimate and won by Russians.

And that leftist ‘resistance' was real.

It was both in the halls of power where federal employees regularly violated the Constitution, their oaths of office and the law by actively subverting the policies of the president and in the streets where tens of thousands of violent leftist rioters burned and looted cities across America, railing as much against Trump as for any social justice cause.

These same Democrat progressives (aka left-wing extremists) also advocated for secession for different states, including a ‘Calexit' for , as an alternative to remaining in a country run by an allegedly illegitimate, racist, misogynist, Russian agent – POTUS.

Respected experts even argued in favor of a coup against Trump to save America.

But to the left it was more than just Trump, it was the entire traditional, religious, conservative, family-centered, free market America they hated and could no longer accept.

And now the right agrees but for the opposite reasons. We can't accept the anti-religious, neo-Marxist, anti-white, family destroying, radical trans, socialist America they are trying to forcefully create and impose.

On the right, the conflict most clearly came into sharp relief with the January 6 riot – itself an angry product of four years of anti-Trump resistance, bogus Russia investigations and even more bogus impeachments.

But that too was always about more than just about Trump or any belief that the 2020 election was ‘stolen.'

It was also about feeling overwhelmed by radical leftist ideas infecting our youth, socialism being imposed by executive order, illegal aliens invading our cities and neighborhoods and taking over our streets.

It wasn't about ‘white rage' as the clueless Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley once mused.

It was about America being radically transformed for the worse, against our will.

These feelings of being oppressed and overwhelmed, along with a belief that the system is rigged against traditionalists, political and religious conservatives and free marketeers have only gotten worse under .

Biden's aggressive push for neo-Marxist, anti-white, anti-American, Critical Race Theory (CRT) propaganda, and an extremist LGBT (primarily radical trans) agenda in our schools, , and even the Pentagon, under the terms ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion' (aka ‘woke') have created a severe backlash.

Add to this the massive overreach by the federal government in several areas, such as effectively opening our southern border to mass illegal immigration, canceling $1 trillion in student debt at taxpayer expense without congressional approval, and a host of other areas, and we have a recipe for disaster.

And with the increasing ideological and partisan weaponization of federal agencies against conservatives, Catholics and other traditionalists, we have a recipe for civil conflict.

But there is an alternative to ‘civil war.'

This is why Rep Marjorie Green talks about a constitutionally acceptable ‘national divorce,' where traditional Americans and their radically reimagined former brethren can peacefully live their widely divergent lives in distinctly separate blue and red states.

With a much reduced federal government as intended by our founders, both sides could live without fear of either a future Trump or Biden quashing them under the oppressive boot of any regime.

This peaceful national break up, may be the best and only hope to avoid real civil war. And I will be writing about this option a lot more.

  1. I agree with your article, but I am curious why you refer to America’s enemies as the “far left” or the “neo-Marxists.” Why not call them by their right name, they are simply old fashioned Communists and I think should be consistently labeled as such. In the 1950’s the Communist party vowed to destroy America “from the inside” That’s what they are doing. All of the problems in America today, directly relate to this Communist agenda.

  2. Nobody wins by non-engaging, especially detaching. That is what conservatives have been doing all along: detaching or worse. You never win a war by defending; at some point you must confront and attack.
      There are many areas/levels where confrontation MUST take place if we have any chance at winning: Running for Office; Writing Constructive Articles; Participating in Political & School Board Meetings; Financially Supporting Conservative Issues; etc. And, especially, VOTING.

      But ultimately, it ends within the streets. The communists know this. We refuse to acknowledge it: Whoever controls the public arena

    Controls the Narrative, Controls the Government!

  3. I have no problem with a national divorce. I do however, have a BIG problem with giving away part of our country to loony left-wing woke liberal progressives.
    The only divorce settlement they are entitled to is the right to pack their bags and get clear the heII out of this country. They can go find some other country in another hemisphere to fundamentally change and mold into their Utopian heII.
