Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the seismic shift in American politics following a Republican landslide unlike any seen since 2004. With control of the White House, Congress, and even a transformed Supreme Court, the GOP finds itself in a position to institutionalize its revolutionary platform—one that challenges the status quo on immigration, foreign policy, energy, and government overreach.
Hanson delves into the key issues that fueled this victory, from calls for secure borders and energy independence to policies that sparked fierce debates, such as mass deportations and sanctuary city crackdowns. These ideas, once considered radical, now resonate with a majority of Americans. Yet, as Hanson highlights, this has led to a counter-revolution, where any pushback against entrenched policies is framed as extremist or even racist.
What makes this political moment even more volatile? Trump’s deliberate appointment of individuals like Kash Patel, RFK Jr., and Jay Bhattacharya—outsiders who were victims of the very institutions they’re now tasked with reforming. Hanson explains how these choices are emblematic of a broader counter-revolutionary movement, one aimed at dismantling the “Jacobin madness” that has gripped not only the U.S. but also Europe and the Commonwealth.
But this movement is not without its challenges. Hanson explores Trump’s nuanced role—not as the sole catalyst but as a figurehead riding a wave of class solidarity that transcends race and ethnicity. For the first time, a Republican president has united working-class Americans across racial lines, defying conventional wisdom and unsettling the elites.
Will this counter-revolution succeed in transforming American governance, or will the entrenched establishment strike back? Hanson’s insightful breakdown offers a compelling look at the forces reshaping the political and cultural landscape. Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.
I think that the deep state is going to strike back in a way that we can't imagine. Call me a pessimist but I'd rather be prepared than shocked. T=Never underestimate the evil of these people. These are the people who have already been fine with doing everything that they could to destroy America and they're not going to just roll over. They're the same ones that have had no problem with sacrificing thousands through warfare and through self inflicted virus' and supposed cures for said virus. It isn't over yet.

DeleteI concur with your analysis, Bill so gird your loins folks.
DeleteI think that the deep state is going to strike back in a way that we can't imagine.
DeleteI have been feeling exactly that.
The Demonrat deep state is NOT going to just lie down and wait for the next election. They have a plan. They always do and it will be surprising with its evil.
DeleteHere's an example. Just yesterday a new bill was introduced that REQUIRED the deportation of any illegal convicted of murder, rape and other crimes. 149 Demonrats voted against it. Racist they said.
Can you imagine?
Demonrats against deporting a convicted felon illegal alien?
These people are beyond evil. There's no adjective that can adequately describe their depravity.

ReplyDeleteThe GOPe needs to keep in mind, this was not a Republican victory. This was a Trump victory, and a Democratic defeat. If the GOP does not deliver, people will cheerfully turn on them. The status quo is not maintainable.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a mind the GOP is going all-out to do what they do now: Maintain the status quo and not rock the boat.
Delete"Promise big, deliver nothing."
The RINOs will fall in line because they know that they will be replaced in the next primary if they oppose the program the people voted for. I, for one, would like to see all the dirt on our public serpents be made public.
DeleteIt was an America first victory with the only man ballsy enough to stand up to all the crap they threw at him and win. None of the rest of the pretenders had the guts to say what had to be said and do what has to be done. I’m hoping he can keep the ball rolling and motivate others to put our nation where it belongs.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting idea is that Trump immediately orders an audit of every executive department. Their spending is suspended, leaving them with what cash they have on hand (typically 90 days.) The audit takes 12 to 18 months. Congress can't do a thing to force the executive to spend money allocated by it.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think
DeleteI second Charlie, the purse strings are the best method of controling rouge agencies.
DeleteBefore the counter revolution may begin we must first sort out the traitors in our own ranks...let every cuckservative be driven out. Let the neocons burn in the hell their great leader (Trotsky) burns in. -Randale6-
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the Republican party's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
ReplyDeleteAn evil enemy will burn his own Nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.
