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.
