Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didnt pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

R ONALD R EAGAN

D ONALD T RUMPS VICTORY IN the 2016 election was a political earthquake. It put an end to eight years of a left-wing presidency that divided the American people, eroded American sovereignty, diminished American power, and undermined a constitutional foundation that had made America prosperous and great.

Before the election, conservatives were justifiably worried that Americas decline was reaching a point of no return. When the results came in, they breathed a sigh of relief. A long and arduous battle had been successfully concluded. With conservatives in control of the three branches of government, the groundwork was laid to restore the country to prosperity and health. Americans could roll up their sleeves and begin the hard work of restoring the nation to greatness again.

There was truth in this feeling, but it was only a partial truth. To begin with, the election was narrowly won. Half the country had voted for a candidate who vowed to continue the Obama administration policies that had brought the nation to the brink. Half the country had voted for a candidate in favor of open borders, a candidate who willingly prosecuted the gender and racial wars of the political left. Half the country had voted for a candidate who viewed the Constitution as a changeable document, a candidate ready to appoint Supreme Court justices who believed its decisions should be based not on the law but on whether they achieved a progressive result.

When the votes were in, the anguished voices of the left provided a foretaste of the future in store for Republicans and their president over the next four years. Mourning in America was the way the Huffington Post announced Trumps victory on the day after the election.

These emotional provocations reflect the passions of a left that would not be stilled by the election result or conciliatory gestures the new president had already made. Instead, they will be inflamed by every step Trump takes along the path to reviving a battered country and restoring its constitutional order. These are the angry voices of a political culture that is at war with America. Worse yet, this is the dominant culture in our universities, in our media, in our judiciary, in government unions, and in the shadow political universe of nonprofits, with billions of tax-free dollars at their disposal.

The late Andrew Breitbart wisely observed that politics is downstream from culture. The culture wars conservatives have lost over the last half-century have transformed the Democratic Party into a party of the left and have led to the eight-year tenure of a radical president. These are the wars that must still be fought and won if the election victory is to remain secure; these are the wars that must be fought and won to keep the country back from the brink.

One battle is over, but there are many more to come. This book is a guide to fighting the opponents of the conservative restoration. It identifies who the adversaries aretheir methods and their motivations. It describes their agendanot merely the particular issues with which they advance their goal, but the destructive goal itself. And it lays out a strategy that can defeat them.

A S WE ENTER THE Trump era, our country faces daunting threats to its security, prosperity, and freedom. For eight years, we have been led by a commander-in-chief dedicated to appeasing our enemies and degrading our military, reducing its forces to their lowest level since World War II. Weakness and uncertain resolve by Americas commander-in-chief have led to an expanding terrorist threat abroad and increasing terrorist attacks at home. At home, overtaxation, overregulation, and massive government debt have led to the most anemic economic recovery on record. Ninety-four million Americans have left the work force, and 47 million are on food stamps. Thirty years of Democratic Party attacks on our sovereignty have created porous national borders and an influx of hundreds of thousands of criminals and an unknown number of terrorists. Hundreds of Democrat-sponsored Sanctuary Citiesincluding such major urban centers as Los Angeles and New Yorkhave set precedents of sedition by defying federal law to provide safe havens for criminals and terrorists who have crossed our borders illegally. Once-eradicated epidemic diseases like tuberculosis have returned with the influx of refugees from Somalia and other war-torn Third World countries, while our left-wing government has been busy importing tens of thousands of unvetted refugees from Middle-Eastern centers of the Islamic holy war against us.

At home, another war with racial overtones is being waged by the left and directed at law enforcement in cities across America, leading to a dramatic spike in homicides and other violent crimes. Aggressive assaults by progressives on the First and Second Amendmentsthe cornerstones of Americas freedomshave divided Americas communities and set precedents for drastic curtailments of other American freedoms. Today, America is more divided and its major parties more polarized than at any time since the Civil War. The conclusion of the nastiest, most divisive election campaign within living memory augurs little hope that these conflicts will not occupy center stage in the political dramas of the next four years.

Romneys eruption, like many similar attacks from Never Trumpers, was hard to explain. Romney certainly had never said anything as harsh about Obama during the 2012 campaign. Predictably, Democrats featured his outburst, along with those of several other disgruntled Republicans, in attack ads against a candidate who had won more primary votes than any Republican in history.

Former presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and George W. Bush sat on their hands throughout the campaign while making their displeasure with the candidate clear. A month before the November election, defeated primary candidate Jeb Bush pronounced Trump beyond the pale over an 11-year-old video that had been released by the pro-Clinton Washington Post in an effort to derail the Republicans campaign. The video showed the candidate talking boorishly in a private conversation with Jebs cousin Billy.
