For far too long, Americans took their freedoms for granted, assuming that the liberties enshrined in our Constitution were unassailable. Yet, over the past century, a slow and insidious erosion of those liberties has been taking place. In my view, this all began in 1913 with the establishment of the Federal Reserve and the ratification of the 16th Amendment, marking the start of federal overreach. Since then, socialist ideologies have been quietly infiltrating our institutions, gradually tightening their grip on the American spirit.
The Obama-Biden Era: A Continuation of Leftist Policies
While socialism’s creeping influence in America has been ongoing for decades, it was during the Obama years that it became glaringly apparent to me. The Obama administration marked a significant shift toward progressive policies, emphasizing identity politics and expanding government control. And let’s be honest here: the Biden presidency is nothing more than Obama’s third term. From the start, it was clear that Joe Biden, visibly struggling mentally even during his campaign, was a puppet. The pandemic conveniently kept him hidden from the public eye, allowing the powers behind the scenes to pull the strings.
Who’s really been running the country for the past eight years? It’s been Obama and his inner circle, continuing their agenda through Biden. Obama’s Marxist roots are no secret, yet it’s astonishing how many people didn’t recognize this earlier. Now, after the pandemic, the mask has come off. These Marxists, with their elitist, power-hungry tendencies, have shown their true colors. They think they’re there to “guide” us, to control us, to dictate how we live our lives.
But Americans are finally waking up. We’ve seen the absurdity reach its peak, especially with leftist ideologies infiltrating schools, pushing identity politics to the point where schools are actively hiding things like gender transitions from parents. This isn’t just talk anymore—this is policy. And people have had enough.
America’s Howard Beale Moment: The People Are Finally “Mad as Hell”
In many ways, America has reached its Howard Beale moment. For those who haven’t seen the classic film Network (1976), it’s a scathing critique of media manipulation and corporate influence, eerily paralleling what we’re witnessing today. In the film, Howard Beale, a news anchor driven to the brink, famously declares, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” That line resonated with audiences nearly 50 years ago, and it rings even truer today.
Just as Beale’s on-air meltdown captured the frustration of an era marked by corruption, economic uncertainty, and a sense of societal decay, Americans now find themselves in a similar place. The parallels between the mid-1970s and our current time are striking. Back then, the world was dealing with political turmoil, energy crises, and widespread distrust in institutions. Sound familiar?
Today, after years of leftist overreach, authoritarian mandates, and media manipulation, the American people are having their own Howard Beale moment. We’re standing up, shouting, “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore!” This election is our way of rejecting the elites who think they can control our lives, manipulate the narrative, and strip us of our freedoms.
The Pandemic’s Wake-Up Call
While Marxist ideologies have been festering in America for years, the COVID-19 pandemic was the shock that truly exposed the left’s authoritarian tendencies. Across the globe, governments seized on the crisis to impose draconian lockdowns, stripping citizens of their freedoms in the name of “public safety.” Countries like Italy, France, and even Canada—places once seen as bastions of Western liberty—turned authoritarian almost overnight.
But perhaps the most shocking example was Canada, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government went as far as freezing bank accounts of peaceful protesters during the Freedom Convoy protests. Citizens who were simply asking for bodily autonomy found themselves targeted, harassed, and treated like criminals. Canada, once a symbol of inclusivity and tolerance, revealed its authoritarian underbelly.
But this overreach did not go unnoticed. The pandemic became the catalyst for a global backlash against leftist overreach.
The Global Rightward Shift: A Market Correction
The world is experiencing a market correction—not just economically, but politically. After enduring years of increasing regulation, censorship, and state control, people across the globe have had enough. This is not just an American phenomenon; it’s a global movement rejecting leftist authoritarianism and embracing conservative leaders who promise to restore individual freedoms.
The election of conservative firebrand Giorgia Meloni in Italy is a prime example. Citizens in these nations are tired of state overreach, identity politics, and the erosion of personal autonomy. The pendulum had swung so far left that it’s now snapping back with a force that no one expected.
America’s Political Realignment: The Election of Donald Trump
The recent election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States signifies a profound pushback against the relentless leftward drift of the past decade. This election was America’s way of giving a big, bold middle finger to the George Soros types who have been working behind the scenes to destabilize our country. For too long, global elites, under the guise of “progress” and “equity,” have sought to undermine our sovereignty, our institutions, and our way of life.
And to those elitists who thought they could dictate how we live: consider this a collective middle finger from the free citizens of the United States. We are done being manipulated, controlled, and lectured by those who think they know better. The election of Trump represents a clear statement from the American people: we are taking back our country.
Why the American Response Matters Most
Unlike much of the world, the United States possesses a robust constitutional framework designed to safeguard individual liberties. The Bill of Rights enshrines freedoms that are unparalleled globally. This foundation empowers Americans to resist authoritarian overreach more effectively than citizens in countries without such protections. But let’s be clear: these rights are only as strong as our commitment to defend them.
A Cautionary Tale: Lessons from Canada
While America has begun its course correction, let’s not forget the lessons learned from our neighbors to the north. Trudeau’s crackdown on peaceful protestors should serve as a stark reminder of how quickly freedoms can be taken away. Canada was lucky the Ukraine war shifted the media’s focus, allowing it to slip back into obscurity. But the American people should not forget—we must remain vigilant.
The Global Movement for Freedom: A New Dawn
This isn’t just about America; it’s about a global reawakening. People are rising up, rejecting Marxist ideologies, and demanding a return to personal freedom and responsibility. From the citizens of Europe to the people of North America, the spirit of resistance is alive and well.
This movement is about reclaiming our God-given rights, ensuring that the freedoms we inherited are preserved for future generations. The election of Trump is just the beginning. The people have spoken, and they are demanding change.
Conclusion: The Fight Has Just Begun
The recent election results, both in the United States and worldwide, signal a renewed commitment to freedom. But make no mistake—the fight to preserve our liberties is far from over. The Marxists aren’t going to give up easily. We must remain vigilant, actively engage in the democratic process, and hold our leaders accountable.
This is the beginning of a new chapter in history—one where freedom takes center stage once again. America’s Howard Beale moment has arrived, and the world is watching. It’s time to show them what true freedom looks like.
