"[There are] two new currents of thought: the Jacksonians around Donald Trump and the Wokists, puritans without God.
We are currently witnessing an intensification of population movements in the USA. Election scholars find that many Americans are leaving the Woke regions and joining the Jacksonians. According to moving companies, their clients move from big cities to smaller ones where life is cheaper and more pleasant. However, they all note that their clients are increasingly citing a new motive: they are traveling to join part of their family. This explanation matches what Colin Woodard observed a decade ago: Americans are grouped by community of origin. Real estate developers are observing the proliferation of secure neighborhoods (Gated Communities). Their clients gather with people like them, having inherited the same culture and belonging to the same social class. Often, they are worried about the rise in insecurity and evoke a possible civil war."

A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”

"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
