Political ideologies don’t even meaningfully exist if they aren’t big ideas. The only candidate big idea coming out of the culture war is “beefing is good”, ie the warring itself as ideology. As a sort of cleansing and necessary lemon-cayenne enema to the body politic.

A “big” idea is one that:
- has megafauna charisma
- represents discontinuous leap wrt its history
- arrives as Big Bang in <5y, not trickle
- redraws boundaries among old ideas
- creates new institutional landscape in <10y
- creates new internal language within that landscape
