Foreign Influence and the Culture War: A Call for Unity in Divided Times

While some may not actively seek to harm the U.S., their actions can still align with those who don’t have the country’s best interests at heart. Content creators and influencers, too, have capitalized on cultural division and the so-called “culture war.” This division may entertain, but it also weakens us as a nation. Let’s reflect on our role in consuming and supporting these narratives and ask ourselves: Are we promoting unity or division? It’s time for a new movement—one of unity, not division. After all, we are the United States.
