VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: WE’RE IN A REVOLUTION
Power Line ^ | 6 Apr 2023 | Elizabeth Stauffer

Posted on 04/07/2023 5:45:37 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Victor Davis Hanson joined Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night to react to New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump. Hanson characterized it as “the worst example of third-world election tampering” and said, “We are in the middle of a revolution that we don’t even know we’re in.”

We’re seeing war clouds gather abroad, and I think the United States’ economy, politically, foreign policy, is at a nadir, and we’ve lost now all credibility that we’ve stored up over 233 [years]. We have no more moral credibility to lecture people about the democratic process.

They have an agenda – the left – that does not appeal to 51% of the people, so they attack the process and they attack the candidate.

What we’re seeing is not the end of it. Tonight was the very beginning. This is going to go on to three prosecutors for a year and a half, with the intent of getting just enough empathy for Donald Trump that he will be nominated and then see him gag-ordered, [inaudible] and maybe even seeing him incarcerated to nullify his viability in the general election.

It’s the worst example of third-world election tampering. They don’t have a message, so whether it’s symbolically tearing up the State of the Union or denying the Speaker or the Minority Leader in the House appointments or trying to threaten the filibuster to be ended or the electoral college or pack the court, it’s all processed because they don’t have a message and they’re desperate. They’re revolutionaries.

“For a smart guy VDH can be really dumb sometimes. He’s just now seeing this?

L”

I’ve heard him mention it on and off but this is the first time he’s addressed it specifically. So, no, he is not just now seeing this. That makes him smarter than you.

“We’re going to Elba....have you been there, and what is there to see”?

It’s easy to google our see on YouTube.

Why woud you go to an isolated place without knowing something about it? I’m curious. Thanks.

VDH I’m ambivalent about the guy
I give him a B minus usually
It’s not a revolution

It’s a usurping of all political and institutional power

We’ve only got one guy who’ll fight

Revolutions are fought out in the open and under color of, doing what they have a right to do under unacceptably oppressive or repressive conditions that the revolutionaries openly articulate so as to demonstrate the propriety of their cause.

Others have said it. This is not a revolution. This is a hostile interior attack conducted in the shadows by criminals, thugs, anarchists, nihilists, leftists, socialists, communists and useful idiots in sheepdog’s and sheep’s clothing. Against unguarded and abandoned sheep.

“This is not a revolution.”

It’s a coup d’etat. It was obvious in 2020, but started long before that. Who really can say when?

Start with 2008 at least, with both the Pubbies (protecting non-NBC Panama John, born in Colón Hospital in PCZ-adjacent Colón, Panama) and the donkey party (protecting non-NBC son-of-a-Kenyan-citizen and CIA asset Barry Soetoro) taking dead aim at the U.S. Constitution while simultaneously locking in/ensuring Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) should either party even make a head fake toward attack the other’s candidate on NBC grounds.
