Raging Left: A Party In Decline
The Democrat reaction to the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites exemplified all that’s wrong with the Left today. Suddenly, the same Democrats who cheered Obama’s endless airstrikes were invoking the War Powers Act and demanding congressional approval. Why?
Because this time it was Trump’s America that hit back. Their volatile, inconsistent messaging isn’t new. Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the deeper story behind the chaos of how the Democrat Party has surrendered to its most radical base on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“The Left knows that they are not polling well,” Hanson says. “They know that the party’s base is controlling their narrative, and they know that that narrative supports issues from transgenderism, to an open border, to lax enforcement of criminal statutes, to something like Kabul, abroad, that has no public support. And they’re angry.”
“ Whatever Donald Trump has done to them—and maybe that will be his lasting legacy—he had the ability to expose what used to be Democrats, as absolutely unhinged and nihilistic,” Hanson concludes. “And I don’t think anybody wants any part of them.”
