Gingrich Picks Up Where Trump Leaves Off: Former Speaker Stokes 'Culture War'
"What you’re beginning to move towards is a war — not a physical war, but a cultural war," former speaker says
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich seems right at home as a top surrogate for former president Donald Trump.
And where Trump is a kind of anti-intellectual shouter, the Georgia Republican parrots the exact same garbage — only with Gingrich's trademark patina of pseudo-intellectualism and evil-history professor imprimatur.
Such was the case Monday evening when Gingrich appeared on Fox News to spread the sort of fascistic, “us-vs-them,” jingoistic, right-wing froth that would set Trump's manhood throbbing.
“I think when you realize there was a poll out today that 50 percent of people regard the federal government as a threat to their freedom. What you’re beginning to move towards is a war — not a physical war, but a cultural war between the bureaucracy, the academic world, and the news media and the rest of us and the truth is, there are more of us than there are of these big government socialist radicals who want to impose a very weird worldview who are apparently prepared to fight the American people,” he said. “Maybe in China or in Russia or in Nazi Germany, you could use the power of the state and get away with it.
“In a free country, you can’t in the rebellion of starting with the election in Virginia this year and extending into ’22 and ’24 is going to be astonishing and these radical Democrats of which you look at his career, he was once sort of a centrist and now has to be a radical because otherwise he can’t run as a Democrat,” Gingrich added, referring to President Biden.

Fortunately for us Republicans are not 50% of America just the voters and as of last election they were only 47.7% of them!
