The people have had enough and want a return to a world where national borders are respected, where words like "male" and "female" have meaning, and a society where success is based solely on merit — not skin color or sexual preference.
They want a return to common sense and decency, and it’s not just here — the movement is going international.
Patriots for Europe held a rally in Madrid, the Spanish capital Saturday, headlined by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France's Marine Le Pen. It’s become one of the fastest-growing movements in the European Union.
As the name implies, Patriots for Europe is a conservative force in the EU, populated by "extreme-right nationalists," according to France 24, a government-funded television news network.
Saturday’s rally also celebrated the reelection of President Donald Trump with a new slogan: "Make Europe Great Again."
Sharing the stage with other leading European conservatives, including Dutch anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, and former Czech Premier Andrej Babis, Orban described how far they had grown in just a few, short years.
"Yesterday we were the heretics. Today we are the mainstream," he told the gathering.
"We are the future."
It was attended by an estimated 2,000 participants, including Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative American think tank.
The EU is plagued by many of the same ills as the United States was under former President Joe Biden — open borders, extreme climate change policies, and the damages created by a bloated government that include overregulation and fraud, waste and abuse.
Le Pen referenced Trump during her own address to the group.
"We're facing a truly global tipping point. Hurricane Trump is sweeping across the United States," she said. "For its part, the European Union seems to be in a state of shock."
The tipping point is truly global.
It’s not just the heads of many individual European countries who have taken the red pill and are beginning to see the light.
In May 2023 Joseph Humire predicted for The Heritage Foundation that Latin America was ripe for a conservative takeover.
He remarked that the election of conservative Santiago Peña as the president of Paraguay a month earlier was a good sign, giving center-right Latin Americans hope that socialism was about to lose its grip.
Humire concluded that "mass migration, crime and violence, inflation, poverty, and food insecurity are all on the rise in Latin America. But so is a new conservative consciousness that has been yearning for new leaders."
One of the countries he mentioned especially was Argentina, and seven months later Argentinians elected Javier Milei as its president.
Since then, he’s taken a chain saw to the size of the federal government, condemned both the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN) to their faces, and joined the United Stated in leaving the World Health Organization (WHO).
To the north of us, socialist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saw the handwriting on the wall and announced that he would be calling it quits.
In the Mideast, Israel has sent conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into office multiple times, but after each brief taste of liberal leadership, they bring him back.
He was prime minister from 1996 to 1999, 2009 to 2021, then reelected in 2022.
When push comes to shove, the Israeli people and the Knesset, Israel’s legislative body, know a good thing when they have it.
Most recently Netanyahu teamed up with President Trump to give an ultimatum to Hamas. Th terrorists have until noon on Saturday to release the remaining hostages from Gaza. Otherwise the military will resume "intensive fighting."
Trump warned that "all hell is going to break out” in Gaza if their demands aren’t met, prompting Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., to tell Newsmax yesterday that in that event, Hamas can expect "shock and awe.”
The adults are back in charge, and it’s being felt the world over.
The BBC predicted six years ago that there would be a global, grassroots shift toward conservatism, stating "ordinary people [are] making the world more right-wing."
Abraham Lincoln once famously observed that "you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
We’re done being fooled.
All we want is sanity in an insane world, and to be able to say, "we’re making Earth great again."
