| Victor Davis Hanson: Trump's Counter-Revolution And The Return To Normalcy |
| 2025-02-22 |
| [Real Clear Politics] VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: They call it the "MAGA Revolution." It is not a revolution, it is a counter-revolution. There's a big difference. This is a restoration, let's use the word restoration. We don't know or appreciate what we've been through with eight years of the Obama administration and then the third more radical term of Obama using or employing the waxen effigy of Joe Biden. The revolution that we've experienced was cultural, economic, political, and social. It was very similar to the French Revolution under Robespierre. Remember what they tried to do, they changed the days of the week, they renamed things, they tore down statues, they went after the church. Does this sound familiar? In this revolution we've experienced, everything was up for sale and everything was negotiable. We invented a third gender and rammed it down people's throats. We tore down statues. We said 1776 was no longer the foundational date, it was 1619. We changed the very mechanism by which we vote -- we went from 70% of the electorate voting on election day to 70% of the electorate, not doing that either through mail-in or early voting. That was a radical change that had no discussion. It was done by fiat. It was incredible. We looked at girls' sports and destroyed it. We said that transgender biological males who were now transgender females could compete. They won over 600 medals they took away from hardworking female athletes. We had drag shows among young children. It was an effort to change the entire constitution, we forget that. They were trying to bring in Puerto Rico as a state and Washington DC to get 4 instant senators. They were proud. They said that they were going to pack the Supreme Court, hadn't been done, hadn't been tried since 1937 and it was an object of disgrace ever since, but they were proud to try it again. |
