The left has controlled cultural institutions like universities, media, and think tanks for over a century. Meanwhile, the right, which values tradition and hierarchy, lacks comparable institutional mechanisms and relies on "horizontal moves" by personalities like entertainers or outsiders, such as Donald Trump.

The left's influence, like a virus, radicalizes youth and undermines traditional structures like family, contributing to a civilizational decline, as evidenced by polls showing declining interest in marriage among Gen Z, particularly women.

Without a robust training ground for leaders, the right resorts to populist platforms where entertainment and provocative soundbites often overshadow intellectual rigor.

This shift has turned political discourse into a spectacle, favoring personalities over substantive debate and complicating the right's ability to govern.

Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA demonstrate a way forward by building a parallel institution within universities, fostering loyalty and a clear vision through nationwide chapters and trusted voices.

The left's failure to meet societal needs, coupled with signs of civilizational collapse, creates an opportunity for the right to gain momentum.
