Gov. Ron DeSantis made it plain on Life, Liberty & Levin that conservatives cannot cede the field to those who seek to rewrite our history and hollow out the institutions that made this country great. Sitting down with Mark Levin, DeSantis warned that attacks on the American founding are not academic exercises but a frontal assault on our national identity and the freedoms hard-working Americans cherish.
DeSantis reminded viewers that our liberty rests on enduring principles handed down by the Founders, and that those principles must be defended every day against the new guardians of cultural nihilism. He used the language of duty and stewardship — the same language he’s deployed throughout his governorship when confronting the woke agenda that pretends tradition is the enemy.
This isn’t mere rhetoric; it’s a roadmap for resisting the cultural rot spreading through schools, courts, and corporate boardrooms. DeSantis has repeatedly called out woke ideology for subordinating truth to identity politics and for trying to make Americans ashamed of their own history instead of proud of its real, complicated, and ultimately triumphant story.
Make no mistake, the message is also political muscle: if conservatives want to win the future, they must fight to restore civic literacy, defend parental rights in education, and stop the erasure of heroes and achievements that bind our nation together. DeSantis has traveled the country sounding this alarm, urging citizens to stand up and reclaim the narrative from the left’s revisionists.
The governor rightly pointed out that the threat often comes from an entrenched Washington establishment that prefers mandates, big-spending schemes, and cultural engineering to the common-sense patriotism that built prosperity. His argument is simple and unapologetic — return power to parents, to communities, and to the Constitution, and reject the technocratic elites who think they know better than the American people.
Patriots should take this moment seriously. DeSantis is not offering platitudes; he’s offering a plan of cultural and political resistance rooted in American greatness. If conservatives want to preserve liberty for their children and grandchildren, now is the time to rally behind leaders who will stand, speak, and fight for the enduring principles that made this nation exceptional.
