The Anti-Democratic Democratic Left

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Joe Biden has claimed that his opponents are assaulting democracy on the basis of the January 6, 2020, buffoonish riot. Aside from the fact that storming the Capitol Rotunda sometimes is apparently deemed permissible—as in the recent pro-Hamas takeover of it—or aside from the fact that disrupting a federal government

Do Leftists Now Believe Leftism Doesn’t Work?

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness It is hard to destroy a naturally beautiful city like San Francisco, with ideal weather and stunning infrastructure inherited from far better earlier generations. Yet San Francisco continues its much-publicized and self-inflicted doom loop. The productive classes still flee the increasingly crime-ridden city and its self-induced pathologies. The city is

Here are several reasons why ultimately she will have to go. If

We Are Well Beyond Hypocrisy

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The abject narcissism of the insular Left is startling. They apparently believe the American public is amnesiac enough to forget what leftists once did, now that they’re doing the utter opposite. And they assume we are to discount their hypocrisy and self-absorption simply because they self-identify as erudite and moral
