In this episode of the Culture Warfare Podcast, we examine whether America can still correct course through democratic systems or if corruption and institutional decay have made that impossible. We discuss donor-driven politics, congressional wealth, insider trading, the Epstein files, and the growing sense that there is no accountability at the federal level.
The conversation expands into culture and morality, questioning whether meaningful reform can happen without a major national shock. We break down historical patterns that precede large policy shifts, the role of mass noncompliance, decentralization, and why many Americans feel politically trapped regardless of who they vote for.
In the second half of the episode, we address Christian ethics, self-defense, violence, tyranny, and moral responsibility. We also discuss media manipulation, political influencers, radicalization risks, and why faith, community, and local action matter more than national politics.
