Sometimes unexpected but dramatic events tear off the thin veneer of respectability and convention. What follows is the exposure and repudiation of long-existing but previously covered-up pathologies.
Events like the destruction of the southern border over the last three years, the October 7 massacre and ensuing Gaza war, the campus protests, the COVID-19 epidemic and lockdown, and the systematic efforts to weaponize our bureaucracies and courts have all led to radical reappraisals of American culture and civilization.
Since the 1960s, universities have always been hotbeds of left-wing protests, sometimes violently so.
But the post-October 7 campus eruptions marked a watershed difference.
Masked left-wing protestors were unashamedly and virulently anti-Semitic. Students on elite campuses especially showed contempt for both middle-class police officers tasked with preventing their violence and vandalism and the maintenance workers who had to clean up their garbage.
Mobs took over buildings, assaulted Jewish students, called for the destruction of Israel, and defaced American monuments and commentaries.
When pressed by journalists to explain their protests, most students knew nothing of the politics or geography of Palestine, for which they were protesting.
The public concluded that the more elite the campus, the more ignorant, arrogant, and hateful the students seemed.
The Biden administration destroyed the southern border. Ten million illegal aliens swarmed into the U.S. without audit. Almost daily, news accounts detail violent acts committed by illegal aliens or their surreal demands for more free lodging and support.
Simultaneously, thousands of Middle Eastern students, invited by universities on student visas, block traffic, occupy bridges, disrupt graduations, and generally show contempt for the laws of their American hosts.
The net result is that Americans are reappraising their entire attitude toward immigration. Expect the border to be closed soon and immigration to become mostly meritocratic, smaller, and legal...

Good people don’t want to get into politics. They are harassed if they even try.
Rwanda not Rhodesia! Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe.
I hope he has the picture correct but VDH, smart and wise as he is, seems to inject more hope than reality into his forecasts. No harm in being hopeful and thinking positively since I don’t think there is any benefit in preparing for the worst in the directions we have headed.
Same zip code but you are correct. Either place, I’m sure all the money the Brits have paid will go to support of their human exports.
American citizens who marry a foreigner have a difficult visa process. (It’s a popular choice for many U.S. men who want a traditional wife.) Unlike Europe, the U.S. doesn’t recognize a right to family life. The process takes months, requires documents from the foreign country, fees and possibly lawyer’s fees, and isn’t guaranteed to succeed. Men who have children abroad before or without getting married aren’t guaranteed a DNA test to get a U.S. passport for the child. Yet, any foreigner who can make it to the Southern border can sneak across and claim assylum. Our country is dysfunctional, and it needs to change.
Americans, according to Hanson, are "reappraising" some of their attitudes to present policies etc.. IMO, folks had also better carefully reappraise their residential locations.

I like VDH, but this is wishful thinking on his part, or he left out the part about the political and real fight that comes between now and his future.

And the sexual weirdo/pervert 'community'....
A lot of these “students” were actually professional anarchists who are organized and funded by devils like Soros and other assorted globalists. The idea is to take down America and the pro-Palestinian sentiment is a cover.
