The election of Donald Trump and the rejection of Kamala Harris has given us time, but this is not the end of the war. Our culture is in a dire state, and our political sphere will always reflect that. Celebrate the victories, but don’t walk away.

There’s a strange quiet in the run-up to the election, when we know that everyone has already chosen their side, even if they haven’t yet voted, and we’re just waiting for the tallies. Here are some thoughts to keep your sights properly aligned, regardless of the outcome.

When Americans hear of blatant human rights abuses in other Western countries, they typically rejoice that such a thing cannot happen here, a notion usually based on the perceived strength of the U.S. Constitution. Yet, as our society loses the understanding of what rights are and from whence they came, that document will lose its meaning and its force. A closer look will reveal that this is already happening.

There is a 2-mile stretch in Queens, NY, reminiscent of what one only expects to see in the third world, or perhaps deep in Bangkok. When police moved in to stop it, protests commenced. There is a tendency in the modern age to favor such vapid individualism that some will celebrate another person’s demise if only it can be alleged that he chose it.

There’s been recent momentum around shaming people for getting high-paying physical jobs or for demanding better working conditions. There’s nothing ‘conservative’ or ‘traditional’ about wanting workers to suffer and get paid less. If we want to encourage families (and we should), this is one place to start.

We become acclimated to a certain state of life, and we expect that it won’t change. Likewise with our civilization, we grow complacent to the reality that it too can crumble, as others have throughout history. Too many are experiencing this myopia now, to the detriment of all.

The University of Pennsylvania’s course on abolishing the family succeeds in saying the quiet part out loud—outwardly expressing the fact that so many really do think that the family ought to be destroyed, for it is a hindrance to a different vision of society.

There’s a common error that those in the modern “Progressive” movement are going forward and in some way advancing, but they’re actually just resurrecting old heresies and dead pagan practices. They’re not quite anti-history, they’re simply anti-Christian.

In a society that doesn’t cherish the good, childhood innocence is discarded as a bygone notion. Parents are increasingly treating their children as peers, and something tragic is being lost in the process.

The audacity of Joe Biden to talk about violence against women in a recent op-ed is unbelievable, considering the myriad of ways his administration made such violence more likely. An establishment that cannot even define a woman is hopeless to protect them.
