DraftAmerica is living through a soft civil war. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk to the toxic rhetoric pouring out of our institutions, the divide between left and right has become impossible to ignore. But here’s the hard truth: us vs. them is not sustainable.

In this episode of Closing Argument with Walter Hudson, I lay out:

Why the “social contract” in America has been quietly rewritten.

The frog-in-boiling-water moment we’ve all just woken up to.

Why cancel culture ≠ accountability, and how to tell the difference.

The danger of grievance politics vs. the hope of gratitude politics.

How “Steve Jobs politics” can shred the old scripts and build real solutions.

Short-term, the destructive ideologies tearing us apart must be decisively defeated. Long-term, we need to think 50–100 years ahead—rebuilding order, restoring liberty, and inviting sane voices back into the American project.

If you’re tired of partisan theater and ready to talk about how we actually restore our republic—this is for you.

After the Annunciation Catholic School shootings, Tim Walz and Minnesota Democrats have made no good faith attempt to pursue specific legislation that would make schools safter. Instead, they're now running to the press to engage in naked politics... which was the plan all along.

Let's breakdown the public comments and pull back the curtain on the cynical machinations Walz is using to pursue a third term as governor.

From top to bottom, from former president Barack Obama to Democrat governors like Tim Walz and Gavin Newsome, the Left has pushed all-in on accusing everyone in MAGA of being a fascist.

But, what is a fascist?

Do they have a point? If not, why would they risk the consequences of falsely labelling half the country as an existential threat to democracy?
