[FOX] Victor Davis Hanson warned Tuesday that America is declining as a society into a danger zone, and one of the main culprits is a refusal to prosecute crime and equally execute the nation's laws.

Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, chided "woke" ideology and said that it needs to be redefined as an "evil" and "cruel" ideology in order to fight its spread on "Fox News Primetime."

"It's a very evil ideology because it's cruel. It's mean-spirited. And we haven't talked about that. But if that's what it is and it won't end until the people start identifying it like that ... It's cruelty because it has a history throughout the centuries, and it doesn't end well."

He specifically addressed the thefts from train cars that are occurring in Los Angeles, which are leaving scattered packaging all over the train tracks. "It's all unwinding," he said. "When you look at those train tracks and that trash, you say this is not a third-world country, but it is."

#5  Prediction: Lots of solid, smart patriotic young would-be warriors in this country will turn away from ROTC and the academies in coming years.

Which means our officer ranks in coming years will become even more stunk up with self-promoting careerists and little virtue-signalers who have no interest in fighting and winning wars.

#4  ^ When we citizens revere the common soldier enough to no longer let jacklegs inhabit the upper ranks, that will be getting us somewhere.

#3  /\ Certainly at the upper levels, 06 and above. The common soldier is still revered.

#2  * AFG fiasco has cratered the esteem for the military

#1  Yes. The wheels are starting to come off.

We knew about weakening rule of law. We predicted that inflation would spiral out of control. We identified Fauci as a liar and Brandon as a muppet and Pelosi, Brennan-Comey-Crapper-MilliVanilli-DaFerret and all the rotten Deep State crew as corrupt poltroons.

But now we're seeing the end of belief in the system itself.

The COVID fiasco has destroyed the great credibility that our public health and medical establishment had. The AFG fiasco and Milley-Austin's Woke lunacy have created the esteem which the military held in the public' eyes. The insane capitulation to race-warriors and violent black felons running rampant on our streets has destroyed any sense of security or safety for millions of Americans.,

Brandon himself just said he thinks the 2022 elections "could easily be illegitimate."

Which means there's a good chance things will become kinetic in the next couple of years.
