Victor Davis Hanson 9. Packing the Court. Did the Right ever wish to pack the 16-year-long liberal Warren Court? Did it ever seek to harass, demonize, or swarm the homes of the justices? What would happen to a Democrat-nominated justice who swung rightwing in the manner that lots of Republican-appointed justices went leftward and hard […]
Victor Davis Hanson 8. Destroying the Electoral College. Next, we come to an array of leftwing proposals designed to destroy the Constitution as we have known it, all for the short-term advantage of the Left. Vice presidential candidate, the buffoonish and so often untruthful Tim Walz just boasted, “The Electoral College needs to go.” And
Victor Davis Hanson 7. Coups—the backroom nullification of voters. Over 14 million Democratic voters chose Joe Biden in 2024 to be the Democratic nominee. No other contender came close. Yet after a disastrous early debate on June 27, 2024 (unprecedented given that it preempted both the conventions and the nominations of the candidates), backroom Democratic
Victor Davis Hanson 4. Lawfare. Imagine coordinating five local and state indictments and civil suits against a presidential candidate and ex-president to bankrupt his candidacy and person, silence his campaign with gag orders, and seek to incarcerate him to prevent him from winning the 2024 election. Note that the Biden White House had been in
Victor Davis Hanson Does the current United States really allow the voice of the people to be heard in free and fair elections, with information from the government honestly and disinterestedly disseminated? Increasingly not. Did the Trump years, or, more specifically, Trump Derangement Syndrome, cause the paranoid Left to destroy democracy purportedly to save it?
So as far as the Holocaust and the millions slaughtered by Nazism‚ well, as Cooper seems to toss off, the chaos of death sometimes got a bit out of hand and beyond the ability of well-meaning Wehrmacht officers to cope with. And so, we the Allies were wrong even to try the architects of the
There was an ideological component of it. But then as time goes on, you read stories about, about Churchill going bankrupt and needing money, getting bailed out by people who shared his interests in terms of Zionism, but also his hostility, I think his hostility…. To put it this way, I think his hostility to
Victor Davis Hanson And I told him that. I think, and maybe I’m being a little hyperbolic, maybe, but I told him, maybe trying to provoke him a little bit, that I thought Churchill was the chief villain of the Second World War. Now, he didn’t kill the most people, he didn’t commit the most
And so, when you do something like that with, I mean, again, like a historical event, like World War Two, where, I mean, the one rule is that you shall not do that. You shall not look at this topic and try to understand how the Germans saw the world: like how the whole thing
Victor Davis Hanson When we read the latest and now widely read denunciations of Churchill as a terrorist, drunk, psychopath, or warmonger, or accusations that the Allies fought a war of terror against their Axis enemies, we naturally expect those indictments more often emanate from the Left. So, what then drives this new rightist revisionism
