Victor Davis Hanson: Are We in a Revolution and Don’t Even Know It?
American Greatness ^ | 8/15/2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

Institutions are being absorbed not just by the woke apparat, but by an array of ideologies that seeks to destroy them.

The collective madness that ensued from the pandemic, the quarantine, the self-induced recession, the George Floyd killing and subsequent months of exempted riots, the election year, and the resurgence of variants of the Chinese-engineered coronavirus, all ignited the fuse of formerly inert socialist dynamite. And the ensuing explosion of revolutionary fervor in just a few months has made America almost unrecognizable.

Now instead we are “gorging the beast”: exponentially expanding government with so much debt that higher taxes are inevitable.

“ In other words, we are in the midst of a revolutionary epoch and probably most don’t even know it.”

Many of us do, Dr.

Answer the question, what happened to the Soviet Union after they left Afghanistan? We’re in the same spot in a lot of ways, except our government can change ends of the political spectrum. Well, if there are fraud free elections.

Excellent post and I will forgive VDH for his verbosity. The last sentence is paramount. But what will anyone do about it, singularly or collectively?

VDH ... master analyst...

“In such revolutionary times, no one knows any more what is and is not a crime. Illegally storming the border when positive for COVID-19? Destroying a public statue of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson? Looting a corporate chain store? Knocking out an Asian-American septuagenarian? Or turning over the tables of Jewish-Americans as they eat? Taking over municipal blocks and declaring the confiscation an autonomous zone? Not crimes. “Illegal parading” inside the U.S. Capitol building? Crime.”

I’ve been thinking the same thing.

I always marveled at how quickly Marxism could take over a Christian
country like Cuba or Venezuela.

Maybe Christians are too compliant, and too ready to turn the other cheek.

59% were favorable to socialism.

Most of them have no idea what it is.

They think it’s everything is free, the government pays all the bills, but they still get to keep their IT jobs,’make the same money, live in the same house and continue to enjoy the same exact lifestyle, or better, the they are now.

Everything is free, so let’s go get some of that new IPA at the microbrewery down the street.

What happens when the insane are allowed to takeover the asylum and evil is allowed to own/control the narrative.

Really? VDH is just figuring out a revolution is taking place? I never figured him as being clueless before. What next? He’ll realize that there are now two different justice systems for DemocRATS and Republicans? Where Republicans are sent to Biden’s Gulag indefinitely without charges for being near Capitol grounds while DemocRATS are allowed to destroy cities with impunity. Or where the Justus dept persecutes an ex President and his allies while refusing to investigate clear evidence of Biden and his son’s corruption?

This is the most amazing writing. This man laid it all out, with brevity and concise style.

Yes Vic- said it when blm was terrorizing the nation- the left/marxists are now engaged in all out hostile takeover of this country-

They used ot at least attempt to hide their disdain for our country and for conservatives who stood i n their way- but when obamaala took office, the gloves came off and they no longer even bothered to try to hide their contempt and loathing for the American way of life-
