Trouble on the Right

It’s a divisive Christmastime on the Right. Just over a year after Donald Trump won the biggest Republican electoral victory in 20 years, and two months since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, conservatives are squabbling like the First Triumvirate. This was the unofficial alliance between Julius Caesar, Pompey the Great, and Marcus Licinius Crassus that boosted the supremacy of Rome, only to end in civil war when Pompey backed the Senate against Caesar.

It took less time to fracture the American Right, and potentially destroy the country. Because Leftists — for all their insanity, stupidity, and rage — are always united in one goal. To terminate Western Civilization by dissolving its Judeo-Christian foundation. And when that foundation divides itself — such as by giving outsized weight to Israel, stoking antisemitism versus Zionism — it cannot stand. Wise conservatives see the danger, the most notable and outspoken being Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire.

Right after the murder of his friend, Charlie Kirk, Walsh tweeted: “The entire Right has to band together. Enough of this in-fighting bullshit. We are up against demonic forces from the pit of Hell. They’re killing us in our churches. They tried to kill our president. They killed Charlie, one of our greatest advocates. Put the personal squabbles aside. Now’s not the time. This is existential. A fight for our own existence and the existence of our country.” The result of his call for unity was that Walsh himself has become the target of more on the Right.

He noted this yet, true to his decree, again refused to cut off his detractors, which only increased their number and his resolve. Last Friday on The Tucker Carlson Show, Walsh doubled down. “People keep demanding I disavow this person or that person … No. I’m not doing that. If they’re on the Right and fighting the Left, I’m not going to publicly condemn them … That’s how we lose.”
