As you may have noticed lately, the left is really acting out. They’re consumed with rage and there is a reason for that.
They know that many of their policies and positions are simply not popular, but they want to get their way. When they don’t, they lose their cool.
Enter conservative scholar and historian Victor Davis Hanson, who explains that because they are not getting their way, you will hear a lot more from Democrats about changing the rules. That is one of the ways they think they can win.
Partial transcript via Townhall:
“It seems to me that the Democrats have lost confidence in their agenda. In other words, they don’t believe that you, the voter, really does want an open border, or you want 53 million foreign-born without audits that ensure acculturation, integration, assimilation. And the same is true of critical race theory, or critical legal theory, or the emphasis and fixations on transgenderism, or the Green New Deal,” Hanson said.
“It seems to have been disastrous had we enacted the full agenda of the left, given what the status of oil is, and we’re the largest producer of oil and gas in the history of civilization right now. You put it all together, and that message of the Democrats is not appealing. And so, of course, in the short term, their strategy has been, we’re not Donald Trump.”
“But long term, it suggests that they have two choices. They either have to change their culture and go back to more traditional lifestyles to improve their demographics, and to go back to the assimilationist model, as I think the Republicans have,” he continued. “I don’t see that happening. Or they would have to lower taxes and cut back entitlements in these blue states to retain their high earners and their upper middle class people who are, for the most part, leaving. They’re not going to do that.”
“As the historian Liddy said about Rome’s problems in the late Republic, the medicine for them is worse than the disease. They don’t want a society where a man and woman are married fairly early, with two to three children. They really don’t want a society that is racially blind, and they don’t like the idea that a lot of red people stay in their states.
They welcome them to leave. And the result of all that is, when they look at these long-term prognosis I just went over, they get very angry. And so what is the reaction? Is it to change the agenda, to win you over the vote? No, it’s to change the system.

Victor Davis Hanson just delivered a devastating breakdown explaining Democrats’ desperate strategy to hold power.
Democrat policies are so unpopular they no longer believe they can win voters — so they’re now trying to radically change the system of governance instead.
