For that matter, economic conservatism also rose, with 44 percent of Americans taking that route.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, the percentage of individuals who identify as liberal on social issues has dropped, going from 34 percent in recent years all the way down to 29 percent.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the reason for this?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s easy \u2014 hot-button issues that have been discussed extensively across news channels and social networks. We\u2019re talking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-administration-releases-pro-transgender-propaganda-piece-rachel-levine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transgenderism<\/a>, abortion, crime and drug use, among others. And they continue to be discussed regularly, consistently making headlines and giving us more to debate.<\/p>\n<p>Part of this, of course, comes with changes in the political landscape. President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/white-house-routinely-forced-make-embarrassing-edits-biden-transcripts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> and his administration have caused enough problems, and former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-leaning-toward-skipping-first-gop-primary-debate-may-hold-competing-event-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> and others have ended up in the crosshairs. It\u2019s more than enough reason for some Americans to shift their viewpoints.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I can\u2019t help but wonder if Biden and his administration are concerned with these numbers. Not only have they straight-up called out \u201cMAGA\u201d Americans on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ChjibtX0UzU?t=33\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">several<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-declares-war-maga-americans-president-calls-republicans-existential-threat-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">occasions<\/a>, but now it appears that federal bureaus are getting involved.<\/p>\n<p>First case in point: The Department of Homeland Security has reportedly begun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/dhs-funds-terrorism-prevention-program-conservatives-white-supremacists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">targeting<\/a> conservatives and Republicans as part of the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program.<\/p>\n<p>You read that correctly. A federal department \u2014 which is supposed to be looking out for all people equally \u2014 is now treating us differently based on our political opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention the fact that this administration has given the go-ahead for the DHS to establish a new center and an intelligence division that will take a closer look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-are-drafting-legislation-to-criminalize-trump-rallies-classify-them-as-domestic-terrorism\/\" title=\"Democrats Are Drafting Legislation to Criminalize Trump Rallies \u2014 Classify Them as \u201cDomestic Terrorism\u201d\">domestic terrorism<\/a> and violent \u201cwhite supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The concerning factor, mind you, is that they<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/letts-more-americans-are-going-conservative-and-biden-thinks-that-makes-them-a-threat\/\" title=\"Letts: Biden Sees Conservative Surge as a Threat\">\u2019ll automatically categorize conservatives<\/a>. Based on opinion. Even hard-working Americans like you or me who simply want to make sure we get food on the table and take care of our family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s absolutely ridiculous. Ol\u2019 Joe simply can\u2019t stand the fact that such an army has risen against him based on his administration\u2019s choices, so he\u2019s calling upon his agencies to do something about it and start labeling people. It\u2019s not justice \u2014 not in the least.<\/p>\n<p>Someone\u2019s ideological perspective does not make him a criminal. After all, we\u2019re in the land of the free and fully entitled to our opinion. And Biden is concerned because, hey, wait, that opinion\u2019s against him!<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I can see these numbers growing in the years ahead. Americans are getting tired of certain things being shoved in their faces and have taken views that they believe will fit them and their families better. And the fact that Biden and his administration see these folks as a threat shows just how imbalanced \u201cjustice\u201d is today.<\/p>\n<p>Believe what you believe, and don\u2019t let anyone tell you different.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/letts-americans-going-conservative-biden-thinks-makes-threat\/\">Letts: More Americans Are Going Conservative &#8211; And Biden Thinks That Makes Them a Threat<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Gallup poll showed a significant surge in the number of Americans identifying as conservative.
