Vibe Shift
Trump’s second rise to power, driven by a youth rebellion against the disillusioning failures of neoliberalism and hyper-progressivism, signals the cultural resurgence of the American right, with ripple effects poised to empower Europe’s own fight for sovereignty and identity.
The tipping point has been reached. The tides of battle have turned. The election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States is, of course, a victory for all enemies of the neoliberal globalist regime, but this (his second ascension) is of greater significance than his first. In 2016, Donald Trump was a flailing conservative spasm to halt the momentum of the left. Now, he builds his own inertia. He is “conserving” nothing. How could he, when the left was at the peak of their ascension just before his return to office? The pendulum had reached its furthest leftward point. Now, under his power, it begins to swing the other way. This new undercurrent, a harbinger of the Western world to come, is the vital energy of the youth.
Youth are drawn to rebellion like flies to honey. To put it plainly, rebellion is fun. It is vital. Energetic. There is an intoxicating allure to being the vanguard of a new era, to living on the fringe, to tearing down the old and rebuilding the new. There is gravity to rebellion.
