Commentary

The 2020 presidential election, pitting against each other two diametrically opposed visions of the American regime and way of life, is unprecedented in the modern history of the republic. On the merits—the sustainability and survivability of what Abraham Lincoln called “that government of the people, by the people, for the people”—it is perhaps the most important presidential election since the most recent threat to the American regime in 1860. The reality is that no one alive today has seen the legal, political, and cultural foundations of this great nation more besieged than it is now by the destructive, intersectional, “woke” forces of the radical left.
