Gotta love VDH.
This is a great summary of all the beyond the pale things Democrats have done all in the sacred name of ending Trump, with a picture of what we all need to expect from them in 2024.
Their (Democrats) now have to win at all costs or they will face actual legal consequences.
Bkmk
They will face consequences one way or the other. Remember the Ceausescus.
GREAT VIDEO...thanks for posting.
VDH knows that we are now controlled by a totalitarian state, and our only option is to get rid of that totalitarian state and kits supporters within government.
We will have McCarthy ERa II. Thank G_d.
VDH indirectly makes the case that we need to elect Donald Trump
It's hard to argue that Trump's retribution would be unjustified. As Hanson points out in detail, the Democratic party's strategies and policies - prioritizing ideology over practical governance - are detached from reality and any concept of effectiveness.
He asserts, "nobody in their right mind would do that," referring to a range of policy decisions from border control to economic management.
In a broader reflection on the state of American politics, Hanson portrays a polarized environment where allegiance to party ideology trumps objective assessment of policies:
In video format VDH puts forth an excellent summation of the fears of the leftists ... worth watching!

Conservatives, at some point, will stop being the people who will always default to stability and trying to “make things work.”
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre. With the feeling that he was speaking to O’Brien, and also that he was setting forth an important axiom, he wrote: Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Good video but the retribution and clean up of our system is going to take place a little differently than VDH thinks.
4 sure, a more palatable successor to William Frank Buckley Jr. Bill was great but if we are honest he was a bit creepy
VDH sums up the heinous activities of power-hungry
Dems’ and shows what we might expect from them in 2024.
UPSHOT Democrats know they MUST win 2024, or face strong legal consequences.
Biden is hellbent on saving his “surviving” son from the clutches of narcotics laws.
For later.

Buckley Jr. was “retired” CIA—part of the “full spectrum dominance” Deep State strategy.
We were played.
I watch almost no news on TV, and get almost all of my news here at FR.
So... this was my first time listening to VDH.
I’m more than a little impressed with his message and delivery.
Ok, nothing surprises me anymore
bump
It’s just shame that self-aggrandizing bloggers like Candace Owens are given as much airtime as true scholars like VDH.
This is an important time for Hanson to have a stage. He is very direct, clear and right to the point. I hope enough people hear him.
“Buckley Jr. was “retired” CIA—part of the “full spectrum dominance” Deep State strategy.
We were played.”
Actually, that was when the CIA was still on America’s side.
