Politics is downstream from culture. This phrase, often associated with the [[Breitbart doctrine]], encapsulates a core ideological framework that emphasizes the relationship between cultural shifts and political outcomes. Popularized by figures such as Steve Bannon, who served as editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, the doctrine suggests that changes in societal values, norms, and identity—particularly within Western democracies—serve as the foundational drivers of political realignments. This perspective has influenced conservative media strategies, political campaigns, and broader discourse on cultural and political transformation in the 21st century. |

Politics is downstream from culture. This phrase, often associated with the Breitbart doctrine, encapsulates a core ideological framework that emphasizes the relationship between cultural shifts and political outcomes. Popularized by figures such as Steve Bannon, who served as editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, the doctrine suggests that changes in societal values, norms, and identity—particularly within Western democracies—serve as the foundational drivers of political realignments.
