by Ben Shapiro
First published 2024
Ben Shapiro examines the political landscape that emerged after Joe Biden took office in 2021. Through a series of columns written since 2022, Shapiro argues that Democratic leadership has transformed America into a cultural battleground marked by corruption and what he terms criminal behavior. He contends that progressives view conservative ideology as more dangerous than terrorism itself, prioritize silencing former presidents over border security, and promote policies that undermine traditional religious values while endorsing controversial educational programs. Shapiro criticizes the left for attacking American moral foundations, then blaming ordinary citizens who attempt to restore order. He questions the practical implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The author provides commentary on key political moments and disputes, cutting through partisan rhetoric from both sides. Shapiro frames the 2024 presidential election as a critical juncture where Americans must decide between conservative principles and what he characterizes as a destructive progressive agenda.
