This post is totally spot on, very well written. Certainly the “foxes“ have been weakened recently due to their exposure, especially that of their repeated and consistent fraud, lies, and manipulation. There are certainly not “out“ by any means. Those of us were concerned about the growth of their power and reach must never lose sight of this fact that, very definitely not only will “the Empire strike back” it is already doing so, and it will strike very hard.
We only dodged a bullet, literally last November. We are definitely not out of the woods, and I’m afraid that if we allow complacency, which is the hallmark of those of us who are on the “right“ when thing improve for a bit, then the very worst is yet to come. If that happens, the kind of “lions” that will be needed will have to be very vicious, indeed if we are to have any hope of survival.
We are in a critical period. Let’s not lose sight of that
Completely agree with your take that straight males like me experience less struggles from Conservatives. To preserve tradition Western value as a single male I am free to pin down a random woman on the street or my niece and give us a baby in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, NC, SC,... since they don't let the woman kill the fetus there just because it's "rape" or "incest".
This touches on one of the most important and relevant insights in political philosophy. The future of Western civilization hinges on whether the residues of group-persistence - that are being suppressed by managerial elites - can be summoned and harnessed by a new elite. The route is not through politics, but affective language. And what kind of affective language can trigger latent class II residues of group-persistence, is already embedded in the consciousness of Western man, and resists managerial speech controls? The answer to that question is the key to the future.
I doubt Pareto would very much approve of your lopsided and simplistic portrayal of his ideas. He wasn't very fond of fascism in the end, although he was one of it's enablers first.
I wonder who these red "lions" are supposed to be. JD Vance or Marco Rubio, the Never-Trumpers? RFK jr.? Elon Musk? Well, the latters drug addiction and maniacal antics resemble a certain italian "lion", that's for sure.
Trump a "lion"? A guy that dodged the draft? A narcissistic bully that has to show everyone how tough he is? A failed "business tycoon" turned gameshow host? A complete liar and fraud? A convicted felon? An adulterer?
What are these traditions and values these "lions" are the keepers of? What duty, honor and order are they preserving?
All I see is a bunch of red foxes chasing out a bunch of blue foxes and telling the sheep they are lions, to stay in your dichotomic tale. You all are being bamboozled and bamboozle yourselfs.

Not lions, but kittens; not foxes, but puppies.
