Charlie Kirk recently shared his thoughts from England, reminding us why America remains the greatest nation on earth. While traveling abroad, Kirk witnessed firsthand how socialist policies crush freedom and ambition. He saw British citizens burdened by oppressive taxes that fund bloated government programs. Their once-proud culture now bows to woke nonsense that punishes patriotism and traditional values.
England’s draconian speech laws stood out as particularly un-American. Citizens there can get arrested for posting “offensive” tweets—a direct assault on free expression. Meanwhile, London’s streets are overrun with violent crime thanks to knife control laws that disarm law-abiding citizens. Kirk noted how Brits seem resigned to this decay, having lost the fighting spirit that built their empire.
The healthcare system alone should make every American grateful. In England’s government-run hospitals, patients wait months for life-saving treatments while bureaucrats ration care. Kirk highlighted stories of Brits paying out-of-pocket to escape their “free” healthcare disaster. This socialist model kills innovation and leaves people begging for scraps from the state.
Education in England pushes far-left ideology instead of teaching basic skills. Kids learn to hate their country’s history while being indoctrinated with radical gender theories. Teachers unions protect failing schools rather than letting parents choose better options. Kirk warned this same toxic agenda is infiltrating American classrooms through Biden’s Department of Education.
England’s economy staggers under green energy mandates that skyrocket energy prices. Families shiver in their homes during winter to obey climate fanatics. Meanwhile, America’s energy independence under Trump proved fossil fuels create prosperity. Kirk urged conservatives to fight Biden’s attacks on oil and gas before we end up like Britain—cold, broke, and powerless.
The military comparison was stark. England’s armed forces have been gutted to fund social programs, leaving them reliant on allies for defense. Meanwhile, weak leadership apologizes for Britain’s past greatness instead of preparing for modern threats. Kirk stressed that only a strong America can deter global predators like China and Russia from dominating the world stage.
Cultural decay oozes from every corner of England. Churches stand empty while mosques and woke shrines multiply. Historical statues get torn down as citizens scorn their heritage. Kirk contrasted this with American towns where flags still fly, churches thrive, and communities honor their Founders’ vision. He warned that Democrats want to import Europe’s decay through open borders and Marxist policies.
Kirk’s message was clear: America remains the last beacon of freedom because patriots still fight for it. While elites push us toward European-style socialism, ordinary Americans must defend our Constitution, our borders, and our way of life. The choice is simple—preserve American exceptionalism or surrender to the misery Kirk witnessed overseas.
