Actor Sylvester Stallone expressed his enthusiastic support for President-elect Donald Trump at a Mar-a-Lago event Thursday night. It was so good, in fact, that I forgive him for not succeeding in front election.
“We are facing a truly mythical figure,” Stallone said in his speech introducing the president-elect.
“This person doesn't exist on this planet. No one else in the world could have done what he did,” he said of Trump.
“When George Washington defended his country, he never thought he would change the world, because you can imagine what the world would be like without him. Guess what? “We have a second George Washington,” he concluded, in perhaps the most public endorsement of Mr. Trump's nearly decade-long political career.

But that's not an exaggeration either. We live in a very different country than the one George Washington first envisioned. We live in a much different country than our ancestors three generations ago. In fact, America underwent a fundamental transformation in the 1960s, culminating in the very Cultural Revolution.
The New Left student movement brought new ideas about civil rights and sexual liberation, but they were not limited to culture. It was also a revolution in law and bureaucracy. The 1964 Civil Rights Amendment introduced provisions such as disparate impact, which became a staple of DEI. Far from reversing the tide, the Reagan Revolution actually facilitated the rise of this cultural Marxism by accepting that government had no role in the cultural counterattack. All the while, the left continued to move forward, with empowered activist-lawyers consolidating and advancing its interests for decades, resulting in the federally sacrosanct DEI we see today. brought about madness. As Chris Caldwell argues in perhaps the most important social critique of the 21st century, this is effectively re-established American.
This is the yoke we currently live under and is colloquially known in its advanced and total form as awakening. Trump was elected to do what Reagan and generations of Republicans failed to do: fight back. If he succeeds, he will be just as much of a founder as George Washington.
