How do innovative American minds characterize today's Democratic ideology?
According to Jesse Watters, America's most innovative minds are characterizing today's Democratic ideology as a 'pagan religion' that is focused on reversing the progress of Western civilization. Watters emphasizes that while his own similar critique might be dismissed coming from a cable news host, the fact that the 'brightest minds of American capitalism' are making these observations carries significant weight. He suggests this characterization by leading innovators will have a lasting impact, indicating a growing concern among influential thinkers about the direction of Democratic ideological positions and their potential consequences for American society and values.
