VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Democratic chicken â or the socialist egg? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The primaries are over, and the November general election looms. Clinton-era Democratic politicos such as Rahm Emanuel and James Carville insist that Democrats have divorced themselves from the hard-left Democratic Socialists. Really? If that divorce were real, why would so many Democrats be cheering a potential Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presidential run in 2028? She is, after all, a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America’s New York chapter. Did lifelong socialist Bernie Sanders not
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Progressive regression and the new medievalism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For most people, the story of the medieval world was one of cramped cities, constant violent crime, and episodic outbreaks of deadly plagues — the dividends of unclean urban conditions, rotting food, fouled water, open sewage, and unchecked rats, fleas, and lice. Most of each day was spent simply trying to survive until the next. Castles and walls dotted the landscape to protect kingdoms from marauding tribes and foreign invaders. City gates were usually closed at dusk to keep out nocturnal mara
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Not winning? Just change the rules (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What binds the new Democratic Party to the new Democratic Socialists is a set of shared issues and values. That is, the radicalism of the Democrats in the age of Trump Derangement Syndrome — lawfare, de-balloting, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and calls to destroy the Electoral College, the nine-justice Supreme Court and the filibuster — helped give birth to the socialists. But the overriding commonality among those on the new left is that, if they do not get their way, they blame the “system.” Then they

Read excerpt
Fear about “affordability” supposedly fueled the new, strident socialism. Yet annual inflation during former President Joe Biden’s four years averaged almost 5 percent. It peaked at more than 9 percent, while prices for some key staples rose by 30 percent over his tenure — all to silence from the left. (By contrast, annual inflation during Donald Trump’s first term averaged 1.9 percent. In his second term, it averaged 2.6 percent in 2025 — and may rise to 4.5 percent in 2026, given the war with
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The world made anew (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With a whimper rather than a bang, the world has become a different place than it was in January 2021, when Donald Trump left office. Almost everything we are now told about the global status quo is mistaken — largely because critics focus only on what Trump says rather than on what he does. Rather, the left — and some on the right — are furious whenever Trump tweets, says or does something that offends their delicate sense of taste, tradition and decorum. Their outrage leads them to ignore whet
