We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary.
The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020.
It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support.
The American people want affordable power and fuel and energy autonomy. They do not want a Green New Deal that results in dependence on the Middle East.
They want fiscal sobriety, not a permanent stagflationary economy marked by bank failures, soaring interest rates, crony capitalism, and subsidies for those who choose not to work.
They know no country can exist without a border, much less while offering blank checks to foreign cartels that kill 100,000 Americans yearly.

VDH has the politically correct streak common with neocons so he’s not about to say that the radicalism started with Obama. The swipe at “neo-Confederates” being another neocon favorite, because of course the battle flag and those statues are what’s been destroying America. Just ask Nikki Haley
No I think he’s correct. The left can beat Trump.
But no one else.
Thanks for posting this excellent article.
“May our present day Jacobins meet the same fate as Robespierre, only sooner”!
Hear, hear!!!
To be fair, said radicalism DIDN’T start with Obama, it started with Voltaire if anything. All Obama did was continue it and expand upon it.
