From Heroism to Heresy: How the Left’s Moral Inversion Threatens America’s Future

America used to revere heroes. Real heroes. The kind who built families, defended freedom, told the truth, and took responsibility for their lives. Today? The culture war has reached such spiritual and moral depravity that we now erect monuments to drug addicts, name streets after felons, and force-feed our children the gospel of gender lunacy and victim worship.

Welcome to the upside-down. The land where George Floyd is canonized while cops are demonized. Where criminals are “misunderstood” and law-abiding citizens are the problem. Where biological men win “Women of the Year”, and mothers who speak out at school board meetings are labeled domestic terrorists.

Are We Winning the Culture War?
The Verb, To Be, Is Under Assault

Let’s stop pretending this is normal. It’s not. It’s orchestrated.

This isn’t compassion run amok. It’s cultural Marxism in action—slowly, methodically replacing
truth with lies, morality with moral relativism, and greatness with grievance.

We’ve replaced God with government, discipline with dysfunction, and excellence with excuses.
And nowhere is this more evident than in who the Left chooses to elevate—and who they try to
erase.

George Floyd wasn’t a martyr. He was a man with a long rap sheet who once held a pregnant woman at gunpoint during a home invasion. Yet in death, he became a saint of the secular Left. Corporate America wept. Cities burned. And millions were guilt-tripped into kneeling at the altar of “racial justice,” not even realizing they were bowing to a lie.

Meanwhile, the true heroes—those who go to work, raise their kids, tell the truth, speak out, and stand up—are mocked, canceled, or ignored. These are the people who actually hold society together, yet they’re routinely gaslit into thinking they’re the problem.

This inversion isn’t accidental. It’s strategic. When you glorify the broken and shame the strong, you destroy the fabric of a nation.

Ask yourself: Why does the Left lionize dysfunction? Why does it reward chaos, disrespect, and deviance, while punishing discipline, faith, and traditional values?

Because strong families, strong men, and strong morals get in the way of total control. You can’t remake society in your image if the pillars of truth, order, and personal responsibility still stand. So they chip away at them—one hero at a time.

This is why statues come down and drag queens go up. It’s why Christianity is mocked while satanic imagery is normalized. It’s why pedophiles are rebranded as “minor-attracted persons” and middle schoolers are taught how to use preferred pronouns instead of learning the Constitution.

It’s not compassion. It’s corruption.

It’s not justice. It’s deception.

It’s not progress. It’s perversion.

They’ve taken Isaiah 5:20 and turned it into a campaign strategy: “Woe unto them that call evil
good, and good evil.” But that’s exactly what they’ve done.

And unless we stand up and say no—loudly, unapologetically, and consistently—our children
will grow up thinking that Floyd was a founding father, that rioting is righteous, and that truth is
hate speech.

We cannot fix what we’re too afraid to name.

This isn’t about race or sexuality or fairness. It’s about control, confusion, and cultural collapse.
And it’s being driven by elites who want a nation of weak, dependent people who don’t know up
from down or right from wrong.

But here’s the good news: it’s not too late.

Real Americans still outnumber the woke mob. But we need to stop whispering. We need to stop
apologizing. And we need to stop letting liars, lunatics, and leftist ideologues write the moral
script for this country.

They have their saints. Let’s raise up ours—men and women of integrity, clarity, and courage.

Let’s tear down the false idols and rebuild on the bedrock of truth.

Because if we don’t, the next generation won’t even know what truth is.
