 I could aim 840 here. So the prospects of the Republican Party are looking really good, looking to have a really good midterms. They did really well in the fall 2021 elections. And what seems to have powered much of Republican success is the culture war. So I just noticed that intellectuals on the left, and media elites, and the media in general, in the establishment, they hate talk about the culture war. They hate it, they loathe it. I'm just trying to figure out why is it that the left despises the term culture war, or the war on Christmas, right? All smart thinking elite people despise the so-called war on Christmas. They say it's no such thing, and culture wars are just a distraction somehow. So why do the left elite despise the culture wars? And why do the media talk about the culture wars, usually with disdain? Kind of looking down from 10,000 feet and just speaking down to us plebs. So it seems like for the first time in a while that the culture war may be working very effectively on behalf of Republicans. Even though the left has won almost all the culture wars over the past 50 years, 60 years, 70 years. It's interesting that the left has won all the culture wars, but the left, the elites despise culture war. They despise the concept of culture war, and the news media despises the concept of culture war. But for the first time in a while it seems like Republicans are winning on the issue of culture wars. And to me the culture wars are real, so I do think there is a real war on Christmas. There is a war on the notion of Christian America. And certainly many traditional notions of marriage is something between a man and a woman. And traditional notions that you can't change your sex, that that's biologically rooted. That seems to have a lot of support. And it is Republicans enthusiastic about talking about culture war issues. And Democrats don't want to talk about culture war issues. So if elections are fought on culture war, I think Republicans will do really well. If elections are fought on matters of health care and social welfare spending and taking care of the homeless, then Democrats seem to do really well on that. But what is it that the left despises about the idea of fighting on culture war? I guess leftists and elites think that there shouldn't be a culture war because all their values are just so self-evidently right. And the right-wing notion of a culture war is living in the past. It's allegiance to religious values and to traditional notions that are now outmoded. And so we shouldn't even be discussing these things. We shouldn't even be fighting about these things. But Republicans and conservatives love culture war. So Scott Morrison, the conservative Prime Minister of Australia, has been trying to whip up a culture war. So the culture wars are about 20% as intense in Australia as in America. But Scott Morrison, to win re-election, is trying to whip up culture war. And the media just disdains this. They just see it as empty political sloganeering, just empty political tactics not relating to anything real. So I suspect the main reason the left despises culture wars is because culture wars maybe ultimately go back to religious values. And the left is overwhelmingly a secular and atheistic movement. And rightists who aren't religious, they still respect traditional ways of doing things. They still respect the traditional ways of organizing family life. And social relations are usually more time-proven and more effective at dealing with contagion and threat. Then newfangled methods that haven't been tried yet. But culture wars seem to be working strongly for Republicans right now. And why is it that left wing intellectuals and media intellectuals have so much discussed for culture wars? They're real. They're working on behalf of Republicans. And Republicans want to fight on the field of culture wars and the leftists not. The Democrats don't want to fight elections on culture wars. So this is probably a positive development for traditionalists.
