"Inside MAGA's fight for "Western civilization"
The MAGA movement is no longer just fighting for President Trump. His most fervent loyalists are now engaged in what they see as a battle for "Western civilization" — a rallying cry for the modern right.
Why it matters: The conservative ecosystem that has developed around Trump — and is touted daily in MAGA media — is key to understanding what's behind many of his policies.
It also helps explain the right's zeal on certain issues.
Zoom in: For MAGA loyalists taking this long view, "Preserving Western Civilization" is the new "Make America Great Again."
They proclaim America as a Judeo-Christian country that's the successor to the great European civilizations of Greece, Rome and the United Kingdom. They see a modern "Western civilization" as one that prizes freedom, the rule of law as they interpret it, meritocracy and the nuclear family.
It's a movement wrapped in nostalgia. That's why Trump's Make America Great Again slogan resonated: To many in the modern right, society was at its zenith in the 1950s — and the liberalism of the 1960s and '70s drove the decline of their ideal society."
The Left's social revolution that took off in the 1960's has put the West into sharp decline. MAGA and the Right Wing in Europe aim to stop the cultural rot
that the Globalist Left has wrought across the Western World. This is why the Democrats lost so badly in 2024.
