VDH: Democrats Betray Democracy to Stop Trump
The Daily Signal YT Channel ^ | Aug 12 2025 | victor davis hanson

The Left claims they’re “saving democracy” from Donald Trump—but their actions tell a different story.

Democrats have pushed some of the most brazen political scandals in modern history—from the Russia collusion hoax, to burying the Hunter Biden laptop, to hiding President Biden’s cognitive decline—all in the name of stopping Trump.

Victor Davis Hanson exposes how the Left has undermined democracy in the very process of claiming to defend it on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“  The problem, James Carville and Democrats, is that you have sabotaged democracy. And you’ve done things that no one has ever done before to an oppositional candidate, presidential transition, and president. And now you’re furious because you’re on the 40% side of every issue that’s dear to you—from the trans issue to the border issue, to the crime issue, to the Green New Deal issue, to foreign policy. And you have no political power. You don’t have the White House, you don’t have the Congress, you don’t have the Supreme Court. And your institutional power—the media, academia, the foundation—they are under assault.”

“”The Left claims they’re “saving democracy” from Donald Trump—but their actions tell a different story.””

And that is probably one of the most egregious lies that the Marxist Democrats spew. The very dead last thing that these commie cretins want to save is ‘any democracy’. But they’re counting on the ignorance and stupidity of enough Americans to not know that they’re lying.... as usual. Which is another reason ‘why’ they’re into importing millions of ignorant, unfamiliar with their lies, illegals that will easily believe their BS.

They are destroying Democracy to destroy President Trump.

Well, that is partially correct. However, in reality they want to destroy democracy as well, because they desire absolute control in order to be able to absolutely be as corrupt as they want without fear of retribution.

I love VDH, but I think he missed that reality

The Democrats never believed in democracy. Only power.

The only thing the Democrats are destroying are themselves. We are watching the self-immolation of a political party.

“And now you’re furious because you’re on the 40% side of every issue that’s dear to you ...”

Control of the media, and the ever increasing promises of free stuff is the path they’ve chosen to reclaim power.

It’s a path that just may work in today’s America.

“Betray Democracy”!!! These lowlifes would betray ANYTHING for power, wealth, and relevance. They’d squash “Democracy” like a bug if they could!

I'd love to believe that, but there are still millions and millions of people who will vote Democrat in the midterms. Only if the Democrats lose BIG in the midterms will I believe that.

It’s not just the Democrats. I seem to recall the Bush/Cheney uni-party reaction to Trump the outsider.
