The United States is a country who’s very founding is based on freedom of religion. It is debatable as to what the true goals of the Founding Fathers were when they etched that freedom into the fabric of the Constitution. One opinion is that the goal was not to encourage religious practice nor to discourage the practice of religion. The goal was simply to encourage an atmosphere of freedom on multiple levels, and one of those levels was on the level of religious practice.

Another opinion is that the goal of providing for freedom of religion was to keep religious fervor from driving religious strife within the population. Drawing on the European experiences of religious wars in previous centuries, many of the Founding Fathers were more interested in encouraging a more mercantilist focus in the United States. They hoped that financial purusits would preoccupy the minds of Americans as opposed to a more religious oriented population that would passionately fight with religious fervor for what it deemed as righteous.
This has largely worked for the good part of the first two hundred and fifty years of the Union. But the United States of America has been going through a significant fracturing over the last few decades that threatens the bonds that keep the United States together. Two of the most polarizing Presidents in the history of the United States have both extended the United States through a very tenuous time.
Barack Obama’s open-door policy on immigration, which was followed up by Joe Biden’s reenforcing this policy has made an enormous impact on the makeup of multiple major cities. The DEI madness that Obama set in motion on an Executive level has taken hold of much of the Left. It has turned what was a truly liberal party into a radical progressive movement with dangerous views on everything from gender to racism and attitudes towards Jews and Islam. On all of these matters, the progressive left, with it’s strongholds on college campuses, most classic media networks, and major cities on the East and West Coasts, is deeply entrenched and getting worse with every passing day. These dangerous views are not supported by more than 25% of the United States population. But among the young population, the percentage is far higher. That should frighten everyone.
On the right-wing side, Donald Trump has turned back many of the absurd policies of the Obama and Biden Presidencies. However, he could not be a more polarizing figure. Nearly everyone in America either loves or hates him. He doesn’t seem bothered by that. On the contrary, he thrives on being the center of attention, and loves the fact that he has shown that he is quite the kingmaker in local elections around the country. To the extent that President Trump dominates the conversation, America becomes more fractured.
The problem with the right-wing dominance of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches is that the fringe on the right is no longer a fringe anymore. And the radical right-wingers, especially the young people, have grown to be more and more radical in their beliefs and entrenched in problematic attitudes. Essentially, although the woke or radical left and the woke or radical right are not very religious by their nature, they have both become filled with a fervor that endangers much of what brings the United States together as a whole.
The middle of the roaders are an endangered species in the United States these days. But they do have one major card in their hands. They are swing voters both within states and cities that are not clearly red or blue. Joe Manchin, a middle-of-the-roader from West Virginia and a former Democrat, played a crucial role in not allowing Joe Biden and the Democrat Party from taking the United States off the financial cliff. John Fetterman serves as one of the few Democrats in the Senate today who is willing to stand up to the anti-Israeli passion that has taken hold of the Democrats in power today. On the Republican side, even many of Donald Trump’s allies have made it clear that they will not support any foreign intervention that endangers American servicemen for a sustained period. And yes, Donald Trump is a President that needs to be restrained – even if one supports many or most of his policies.
The middle has a major challenge ahead of them in the coming decades. Otherwise, more and more States will become untenable for many Americans to live in, and the talk of States seceding will begin to pick up steam. There is no greater challenge that the United States faces today than keeping it all together for future generations.
