"WAKE UP PEOPLE! This Is Worse Than I Thought..." | Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson | "WAKE UP PEOPLE! This Is Worse Than I Thought..." "As the ideological divide in America continues to grow, Victor Davis Hanson delves into the heart of this conflict, highlighting the strategic maneuvers of the left. He starts with the premise that the left believes in forced egalitarianism, using governmental power to ensure equality not just in opportunities but in outcomes. Hanson argues that this approach contradicts human nature, common sense, and the Constitution, and thus necessitates a degree of coercion.

Recognizing that their policies on issues like energy, inflation, and border control lack majority support, the left, according to Hanson, has strategically taken control of major institutions. From influential newspapers and social media platforms to Hollywood, academia, and even Wall Street, these entities help propagate their message and reshape public perception, bypassing the need for democratic consensus.

In contrast, conservatives and Republicans often adopt a 'live and let live' philosophy, trusting in the common sense of the people and valuing noble losses over unscrupulous victories. This fundamental difference in strategy creates a political imbalance, with the left's relentless drive overshadowing the more passive approach of the right.

Hanson critiques the left's distrust of constitutional democracy, pointing to their calls for abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and other radical changes aimed at consolidating power. He argues that these proposals are not only unpopular but also impractical, requiring constant distraction and manipulation of public discourse to maintain any semblance of support.

He also addresses the global implications of these policies, particularly the immigration crisis and its impact on America's ability to assimilate and integrate new populations. Hanson advocates for a return to the melting pot ideal, emphasizing the need for a unified national identity over divisive policies and DEI initiatives.

Victor Davis Hanson’s analysis presents a stark examination of the political strategies and challenges facing America today, urging a reconsideration of the nation's direction and values."
