The article warns that America is being undermined by a convergence of extremist ideologies from both the far left and far right, which are infiltrating major institutions and eroding foundational values. It highlights the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attack and the subsequent response in the West, where some academic, media, and social circles rationalized or celebrated the violence. The author argues that radical leftist and Islamist groups, often supported by foreign regimes, have found common cause in opposing Western values and have gained influence in academia, nonprofits, and government. Meanwhile, a growing isolationist movement on the right threatens to withdraw American leadership from the world stage, risking global instability. The piece calls for bipartisan moral leadership to confront both internal radicalization and external threats, emphasizing that America's strength lies in upholding its values and global responsibilities.
