Victor Davis Hanson just delivered one of the sharpest analytical pieces he's ever done โ and it starts with a declaration: the Democratic Party as America knew it for 50 to 100 years is gone.
What replaced it is not a center-left coalition. It is, in his words, a full-blown socialist revolutionary party. And the people actually running it are not Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries. They are Jasmine Crockett, James Talarico, Zohran Mamdani, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders.
The ideology is Marxist at its core โ a binary world divided into oppressors and oppressed, with the Democratic Party positioned as the enforcer of mandatory equality of result through radical taxation, open borders, and the dismantling of legal standards. You can see it in no cash bail. You can see it in sanctuary cities. You can see it in the Mamdani administration's day-one revocation of antisemitism enforcement in New York.
How did the party of Harry Truman and JFK become this? VDH lays it out in two words: open borders and globalization.
Open borders delivered 53 million foreign-born residents โ the largest in American history. Globalization created two Americas: the coastal elite whose audience expanded to seven billion global customers, and the manufacturing and mining class that was outsourced offshore. The Democratic Party chose the coastal elite and the recent immigrant, and abandoned the white working class entirely โ not just abandoned them, but created a vocabulary of contempt for them. Clingers. Deplorables. Irredeemables. Chumps. Garbage. Peter Strzok texting about them smelling up Walmart.
VDH makes a point that deserves to be amplified: the wealthiest ethnic minority in America today is Indian Americans. Mamdani โ who talks constantly about racial equity โ is himself a multimillionaire whose parents are multimillionaires. The Marxist oppressor/oppressed binary doesn't survive contact with actual demographic data.
And the old Democratic Party? The 1992 Clinton agenda โ closed borders, legal-only immigration, strong unions, juvenile criminals tried as adults, balanced budgets, strong national defense โ is essentially the Republican platform today. Any Democrat who espoused those views now would be called a heretic.
The result is a party shaped like a dumbbell: vast globalized wealth at the top, a mass base of poor recent arrivals at the bottom, and nothing in the middle. The American working class โ the Hubert Humphrey, JFK, Truman constituency โ has been written off and replaced.

The media has been breathlessly selling a MAGA civil war over Operation Epic Fury. Victor Davis Hanson just torpedoed the narrative with actual numbers.
An NBC poll shows 90% of self-identified MAGA Republicans support the Iran strikes. Five percent disagree.
That's not a civil war. That's a rounding error with a podcast.
VDH identifies exactly who's doing the objecting โ the Steve Bannon wing, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, maybe Megyn Kelly โ and he takes their argument seriously enough to actually answer it. Their claim: this violates MAGA's no-optional-wars philosophy.
Hanson's answer is precise. It would violate that philosophy ๐ช๐ง we inserted ground troops and stayed for months. This is different. This is an air-only campaign. And it has characteristics we've genuinely never seen before โ it's a top-down war, targeting leadership, not rank and file. We are not building democracy in the rubble. We are dismantling a terror regime's military capacity from the air and going home.
Trump has three available outcomes here, none of which require a ground invasion. The MAGA base understands that distinction. Ninety percent of them understand it.
The media needed a Republican civil war story. They found five percent and called it a movement.

Paris is cancelling its Christmas festivities because the risk of Muslims blowing them up is too high.
Islam doesnโt coexist, it violently conquers and subjugates the โinfidels.โ
The latest estimates indicate that Franceโs population is 9-10% Muslim. Other countries should take note that even with 1-2%, you will begin to lose your country. By 9%, you will have to cancel your Christian traditions or you may be blown up.
Palestinian doctor from Gaza says men have the right and must beat their wives, but that โwife-beating should be therapeutic, not vindictive.โ
โWhen youโre beating your wife, just make sure not to seriously injure her, break her bones, or damage vital organs.โ Thoughts?!
@IanJaeger29 Not like the professionals did such a great job, havenโt won a war since 1991, the Afghanistan, debacle, bloated budgets, etc. canโt get any worse.
@IngrahamAngle @reisegrrl1 You're compromised Laura, your headline coverage of Covid-19 last night was a smokescreen and a deflection! Playing the people as fools!
@ScottAdamsSays@CDPatriot You are spot on Scott, as son of holocaust survivors and great grandson of murdered holocaust victims, Joe Biden's campaign ad is a total disgrace and an abomination! #MAGA
@poetryofliving @jakejakeny Why are you saying โployโ? The ballots are fraudulent in favor of Biden. Everything you accuse Trump of , in fact the Left is guilty of #LaptopFromHell
