Victor Davis Hanson: The Normalization of Political Violence in America...

Victor Davis Hanson issues a chilling warning: when political violence becomes normalized, no one is safe. From the Scalise shooting to the attempts on Donald Trump — and now the shocking targeting of Charlie Kirk — Hanson argues that America has crossed into dangerous new territory.

The left cloaks it all in moral superiority, branding Trump and his supporters as an “existential evil.” That logic creates a culture where violence is excused, where assassins are elevated, and where even attempted murder sparks applause across social media.

Hanson calls it what it is: the corrosion of the republic. Elites preach tolerance while dehumanizing millions of Americans as “deplorables,” “garbage,” and “chumps.” Words matter — and Hanson warns this rhetoric filters down into action, emboldening those who see violence as virtue.

Charlie Kirk’s targeting shows the spiral is no longer hypothetical. The question Hanson leaves us with is stark: how far will this go before America finally says enough?

Watch until the end for Hanson’s full breakdown — and don’t forget to subscribe for more sharp analysis on politics, culture, and America’s future.
