The victory of Trump can be attributed to the perceived arrogance of left-wing ideology, liberalism, radical feminism, and cultural Marxism.
American universities have increasingly been marked by an atmosphere of tension, with instances of perceived terror, violence, and disruption under the banner of justice and equality.
Cultural Marxism often emphasizes the breakdown of traditional family values, with parents losing influence over their children’s education and life choices.
Historically rooted leftist ideas are evident in events such as the German Peasant War, the French Revolution, and the Paris Commune. As Abhijit Joag quotes in 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴, their underlying goals can be summarized as below:
1. Aspiration for global control through dismantling institutions such as religion and family.
2. Promotion of anarchy and violence as methods.
3. Centralized control held by a small elite, with only symbolic gestures towards the masses.
4. Limited regard for individual liberty.
5. Priority given to dismantling established value systems over achieving social and economic equality.
This leftist ideology, inspired by Marxism, has been noted to influence many American institutions, as observed by genuine liberals who distinguish themselves from the radical left.
Controversial laws in American schools have permitted children as young as eight to make decisions about gender identity, with parents gradually losing influence over these significant choices, while some claim that children are being indoctrinated.
The Marxist influence on university campuses and other institutions is not merely about atheism, but is seen by some as promoting an antagonistic stance toward faith and spirituality.
It is understandable why some might struggle to support a party increasingly associated with radical leftist ideals. According to critics, this disruption of values has led to a growing lack of personal accountability, with certain liberal factions advocating that the wealthy bear the burden for irresponsible youth without expecting reciprocal responsibility.
Below lines, stated in 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 by Abhijit Joag, describe that conservative values are not solely religious but are seen by supporters as principles rooted in discipline and responsibility, with a focus on:
1. Respect for tradition, with changes pursued thoughtfully and through consultation.
2. A commitment to peace, order, and the rule of law.
3. Limited government interference, fostering a culture of free commerce.
These values stand in contrast to leftist ideals, which critics believe aiming to disrupt established norms. This perceived disruption has led many American families to reevaluate their support.
Joseph Stalin, a radical leftist and former Russian leader, allegedly stated, “We must hate; hatred is the basis of communism. Children must be taught to hate their parents if they are not communists.”
This notion, seen as the essence of cultural Marxism, has been cited by some as influential in American institutions (𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴) .
Stalin is also claimed to have expressed a manipulative view on friendship, reportedly saying, “The greatest joy is to cultivate a person’s friendship until he rests his head confidently, then to plant a dagger in his back.”
This notion, shared by both extreme Marxists and religious radicals, aligns with the idea that family loyalty must be undermined in favor of disruption (𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴) .
In contrast, human needs include unity, diversity, meritocracy, responsibility, and a sense of reasonable national pride—qualities that some believe America risks losing under the leftist influence within the Democratic Party.
Trump’s victory is certainly a win, but the greater victory lies against anarchism, “woke” ideologies, Marxism, and radical liberalism. There is a call for America to embrace conservative values, not in the form of religious extremism or white supremacy, but as principles that respect diversity, support family values, and keep faith at the center—not as a restrictive force, but as a universal, all-embracing aspect of life.
