Cultural wars in the US Leftist progressivism vs. traditional values in America

There is a distorted perception of reality, according to which those who call themselves liberals and leftists are proponents of free love, the sexual revolution, and so on. In reality, today the situation is quite the opposite.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the leftists (socialists) and anarchists advocated for free relationships, while liberals ranged from moderately agreeing with this to condemning it. This phenomenon reached its peak in 1968 or slightly later, in the 1970s. Although free love is often discussed in terms of promiscuity (and there are reasons for this), it was generally understood as the right to live with one another by mutual consent. Forced marriages, difficulties with divorce, bans on abortions, and de facto bans on interracial and interethnic marriages (in early 20th-century America, a union between a Black woman and a white man was considered unthinkable and was extremely rare) all existed and caused outrage among many.

Gradually, many people came to understand that adults have the right to enter into relationships by their own will and that it is normal for relationships to form between those connected by a common workplace, education, or shared interests. And yes, a Black man has every right to live with a white woman if they both enjoy it, and a professor may marry his adult student if that is their choice.

However, already in the 1970s, the sexual counter-revolution associated with feminism began. Contrary to popular belief, feminism, which may have originally advocated for gender equality, transformed into a form of nationalism and, in its radical versions (like Valerie Solanas and others), into a kind of gendered Nazism, spreading suspicion or hatred toward men, or at least toward heterosexual men.

A similar transformation occurred within minority movements, especially among African Americans. Martin Luther King dreamed of a world of equality where people would be judged not by the colour of their skin but by their personal qualities. However, Black racists, including those sympathetic to Black Lives Matter (BLM), began attacking white people and Koreans, organizing riots. Some influential activists within the movement demanded that white people give up their homes and money to Black people, while others organized fundraising campaigns to support Black-owned businesses. In effect, BLM turned into a Black nationalist movement, hostile toward white people, striving for dominance on the streets, in politics, and in business.

The policy of state power and its allied corporations, as well as university leadership, is evolving with the introduction of special quotas that provide more opportunities for Black people or women in education and other areas. For example, during Trump’s previous term, the U.S. Department of Justice discovered that it was significantly more difficult for Jews, Chinese people, and white people to be admitted to certain universities (like Yale) than for Black people.

It was the Democratic Party in the U.S. that actively facilitated the introduction of special quotas for minorities and women, discriminating against the rest of the population. The Democratic Party also integrated various groups and individuals linked to left-wing and liberal feminism, spreading accusations against men as a so-called social group that controls power and wealth. These accusations of "patriarchy" are based on the fact that most high-ranking officials, politicians, and corporate heads are men. However, in reality, there is no unified male organization; most men have no power, do not own large properties, and the majority of prisoners or suicide victims in the U.S. are men. The very concept of "patriarchy" is a fantastical lie, as the overwhelming majority of men in the U.S. have neither wealth nor power and do not form a cohesive corporation.

The Democratic Party also supported the Me Too movement. It is linked to the same processes as the Black and feminist movements, which unfolded over several years. Initially, its participants focused on real instances of sexual exploitation of women in the workplace. But over time, a climate of extreme intolerance and suspicion was created in society regarding any relationships and connections between people in the workplace, primarily targeting men.

Why did the Democratic Party do all of this? The answer is extremely simple. The majority of those who vote for Democrats are women, ethnic, and sexual minorities. The Democrats nurtured their base by creating a system of clientelist connections, helping to promote certain representatives from their social groups to influence everyone else.

It goes without saying that the party leadership is connected with billionaire lobbyists who, by financing election campaigns of politicians, ensured the adoption of political and legislative decisions that suited their interests in Congress, while millions of Black Americans and women continued to live below the poverty line. Around 80 billionaires aligned their interests with the Democrats, while more than 50 did so with the Republicans. The latter focus on supporting the white working class in the "Rust Belt" (former industrial zones in the U.S. that have turned into areas of economic distress due to the outsourcing of factories to Mexico and China) and on advocating for Christian conservative family values.

Today, the Democrats are defeated in the U.S. elections. In the hands of their opponents, the Republicans, are not only the White House but also the majority in Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court, where conservatives are absolutely dominant. This institution has already succeeded in overturning the nationwide right to abortion, leaving it to the discretion of each state.

As a result, both dominant parties in the U.S. are, to some extent, hostile toward free relationships. One side is driven by the adoption of the latest forms of left-wing feminist and liberal ideologies that spread animosity toward men and are suspicious of heterosexual relationships (while encouraging sexual minorities, particularly transgender individuals for some reason). The other side is motivated by traditional religious norms, which are rooted in church attendance, strong family values, bans on contraceptive use, restrictions on abortion, and so on.
