During a recent appearance on the Mark Levin show on FOX News, conservative historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson declared that the Democratic Party has collapsed. It’s hard to disagree with his argument.
Hanson points to the outcome of the 2024 election, the party’s repeated mistake of being on the wrong side of major issues, and their ongoing flailing rage over everything Trump says or does.
Hanson also suggests that Trump is doing something no other Republican has ever done. Instead of just reacting to what the left does, Trump is going after their sources of power.
Watch the whole thing below. This is great:
Hanson talked about this new Trump strategy in a recent essay at the Daily Signal:
Trump’s Counterrevolution Is Succeeding Beyond ExpectationsHello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. We’re watching the greatest counterrevolution in some 90 years. We have not seen any president try to radically change the political calculus and the nature of government since Franklin D. Roosevelt did it, from the Left, during the New Deal of the mid-1930s.And what do I mean by that? President Donald Trump closed the border. Nobody thought he could. He closed it. He has now deported over 100,000 criminal illegal aliens and 1 million have self-deported, of all statuses, who were here illegally.He’s basically declared war on DEI. And he’s winning that argument. He has barred biological males from competing in women’s sports. He has full public support for doing that and he’s making enormous inroads.The universities are rushing and competing with each other to cut a deal with Donald Trump, and to agree to not gouge the federal government on federal grants through their surcharges of way over 40% or 50%; to follow civil rights legislation, the Supreme Court, and not discriminate by race or gender, as they do in admissions, hiring, promotion, tenure; and to be disinterested and be fair and follow, as I said, free speech canons in the Bill of Rights on campus.What am I getting at? Donald Trump is winning on all of these social and cultural issues.Abroad, we see that Iran no longer poses a nuclear threat for the immediate future; that Israel’s enemies—whether Hezbollah or Hamas or Houthis—are in disarray or severely attrited; Iran is no longer a threat to the Gulf states or Israel, at least for the immediate future; and we see some progress with Ukrainian war.People are angry about this counterrevolution for two reasons: It’s succeeding and it’s succeeding beyond anybody’s wild expectation.
