It is good thing but not the cure that people think it is. The world is far too connected now, at the end of the day the independent nation is still dominated by the same mass media, entertainment industry, and culture of the original America. Modern Right, especially American Right, is an extremely weak cultural force that cannot challenge the Left's cultural hegemony. Unlike you can do that you can't truly "win".

This is certainly true in America, but I think Trump actually unleashed a right-wing force that was beating the left in the culture war. Just look at how much the media - and even the electoral process - has been undermined by him. It really is the only good thing he has done, and the elites will never forgive him for that.

As far as Europe is concerned, we always had a strong right-wing cultural force. On issues like immigration the left pretty much lost.

Trump did not unleash the type of cultural force I am referring to. The culture of Trumpism is the same type of culture American Conservatism has had only it is more passionate due to the hyper politicization of American society. What I am speaking of is what Neo Reactionaries would call "The Cathedral". Until the Right can produce a cultural force that can take over the arts, science, and academia then it cannot defeat the Left.
