Victor Davis Hanson: 10 'Radical Rules for Post-America' Most Americans Now Publicly Accept
More on this from yesterday.
[Red State] Frightening, almost surrealistic, headline, isn’t it? And it’s not even close to clickbait. As is usually the case when I read or listen to conservative author and commentator Victor Davis Hanson, his bottom-line analysis and admonitions are straight-up; no punches pulled, no hyperbole necessary.

Such was the case with VDH’s recent piece at American Greatness, Radical New Rules for Post-America, in which he says many Americans who privately fear the "radical rules" of the left are now "appearing to accept them publicly." He begins with a startling line:

"There are 10 new ideas that are changing America, maybe permanently."
Americans privately fear these rules, while publicly appearing to accept them. They still could be transitory and invite a reaction. Or they are already near-permanent and institutionalized.

"The answer determines whether a constitutional republic continues as once envisioned, or warps into something never imagined by those who created it."

That an intellectual conservative like Victor Davis Hanson comes right out and says that our constitutional republic — America as we know it — is at a crossroad where one direction leads to protecting it while the other direction leads to America "warping into something never imagined by those who created it" is sobering — and I believe he’s right.
