Victor Davis Hanson: "Something Big Is Coming, and No One Is Talking About It..."

Victor Davis Hanson delves into a seismic cultural and political shift unfolding in America. The mainstream establishment, once dominant, now finds itself supplanted by a new, unconventional coalition led by Donald Trump. Hanson describes this "new establishment" as a wildly diverse group—from Joe Rogan and Dana White to Tulsi Gabbard and RFK—rallying around Trump’s vision for a reformation of American politics and culture. This coalition isn't just about winning elections; it represents a counter-revolution against the entrenched "Uniparty" and the bloated bureaucracies of Washington.

Hanson explores the fallout of this transformation, pointing out the cracks forming in corporate America, universities, and even cultural pillars like Hollywood and professional sports. Once untouchable institutions are now shedding inefficient ideologues and rediscovering their roots in productivity and merit. Trump’s unpredictability and ability to resonate with the middle class have forced even his staunchest critics to reconsider their stances.

But the stakes are high. Hanson warns of the Democratic Party's detachment from middle America—focusing instead on coastal elites, subsidized poor populations, and identity politics. He contrasts this with the cultural and economic crisis brewing across the heartland, from struggling communities in East Palestine to the hurricane-ravaged Carolinas. According to Hanson, Trump’s resurgence isn't just a reaction to these challenges—it’s a demand for realignment and a return to policies that prioritize the middle class and national unity.

Hanson doesn’t stop at critique. He envisions the next steps for the counter-revolution: empowering productive citizens, slashing government inefficiency, and reasserting America’s core values. Whether you see this as the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end, one thing is clear—Hanson believes we’re in the midst of a historic reformation.
