Buchanan: West is disintegrating its faith is dead

Pat Buchanan

Pat Buchanan, famed political pundit and best-selling author, said he’s not optimistic about the future of the West, including America, and added that Donald Trump was hardly the “perfect” candidate who could save the country.

“I do think he would appoint the type of justices that would unite the Republican Party,” Buchanan said, to the Daily Caller, speaking on Trump. “[But] we don’t have any perfect candidates.”

Buchanan, who sought the Republican Party ticket to the White House in 1992, said his platform included a slow-down of immigration and globalization, and a call for the return to social conservatism traditions.

“What we’ve gotten is proof that we were right,” he said, speaking of his platforms and the current U.S. political and cultural climate, the Daily Caller reported. “I would not say that Donald Trump is a paleoconservative … [or] social conservative … [but] I was just astonished to see him raise the precise issues on which we ran in the 1990s … [and] I think many folks who agree with me have welcomed Trump into the race.”

But the disintegration of the West has gone too far to expect Trump, or any political candidate, to emerge as a savior, said Buchanan, who wrote in 2001, “The Death of the West,” and in 2011, “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”

“Do I think these books stand up very well? Yep,” he said. “The West is disintegrating, its faith is dead. When the cult dies, the culture dies and when the culture dies the civilization dies and when the civilization dies, the people die, and that’s what’s happening to western civilization.”

Buchanan cast particularly disparaging eyes on Europe, saying: “It’s hard for me to see how the Europeans survive whether they have the will just given the trend-lines in terms of population and in terms of immigration pouring in.”

He said, the Daily Caller reported: “I’m not a great optimist about the western civilization.”
