Ben Shapiro
Ben Shapiro认为美国正面临一场关乎根本价值观的文明之战，这场战争不仅在美国境内，也波及整个西方文明。他将美国价值观概括为"狮子"般的价值观，即关爱社区、尽责于家庭、努力工作和创造价值，并体现在拓荒者、提供者和战士三个群体中。战士们是保卫国家和价值观的先锋，他们值得尊敬和感激。编织者们是构建家庭和社区，维护社会结构的基石，他们默默无闻地贡献着力量。与"狮子"价值观相对的是"食腐者"价值观，他们认为自己理应获得一切而不必承担任何责任，反对社会规则和制度，并试图通过推翻现有体系来重建社会。他们反对拓荒者、提供者和编织者，认为社会规则和制度是对他们的压迫。Shapiro认为人生的意义在于承担社会责任，履行家庭和社会角色，为世界做出贡献。当前的选举至关重要，它将决定美国的未来走向，是停滞衰败还是继续发展繁荣。
