In a recent monologue on HBO's Real Time, host Bill Maher called Americans a "Silly people" for allowing themselves to be mired in culture war struggles, such as the politically correct cancelling of children's books, while our superpower competition China is laser-focused on political, economic, and military dominance.
"You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are a silly people. And Americans are a silly people," Maher asserted.
Maher's prescient lecture came just before the Chinese delegation ate their American counterparts for lunch at last week's U.S.-China meeting in Alaska, telling Secretary of State Antony Blinken to his face that China does not view America as operating "From a position of strength." With a new American President so decrepit he is shielded from the public by his handlers; with our southern border collapsing under tsunami of illegal aliens; and with Americans at each other's throats in a not-so-Cold Civil War, China's not wrong about that.
America is suffering from decades of accelerated, corrosive, Marxist subversion that has saddled us with a power-lusting leftist regime, aided and abetted by an unofficial state news media; a school system that has jettisoned rigorous education in favor of identity politics indoctrination; a woke corporate culture showering hundreds of millions of dollars on support for Critical Race training and on the communist revolutionaries of Black Lives Matter; an obscenely decadent entertainment industry that peddles anti-Americanism, anti-Christianity, anti-capitalism, and anti-white racism; and a politicized military establishment prioritizing "Gender equity" over warrior readiness.
The problem is "Civilizational fatigue," the concept that at some point a grand world power - e.g. ancient Rome, 19th-century England, America under a desiccated Joe Biden - peaks and then implodes.
Finally, those of us who love our heritage, our Constitution, and our country rallied behind a President who called on us to Make America Great Again.
Even in Donald Trump's brief White House tenure we saw America gathering momentum toward greatness again after eight years of Barack Obama diminishing our leading role on the world stage.
