Victor Davis Hanson warns that leftist activists aim to dismantle and remake America
In a video commentary, Victor Davis Hanson argues that contemporary left-wing figures are promoting violence to achieve a socialist overhaul of the United States.
Victor Davis Hanson, speaking for one outlet, contends that today’s leftist movement mirrors past extremist factions that justified any means to impose their vision of equality. He points to Hasan Piker’s provocative remarks about a murdered activist, Angie Nixon’s accusations against ICE, and Abdul El-Sayed’s alleged endorsement of Sharia-law-compliant policies as evidence of a violent, anti-American current. Hanson also denounces what he describes as fabricated investigations by the FBI and prosecutions by figures like Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith, arguing they have eroded trust in law enforcement.
He warns that if socialist candidates win upcoming races, the nation could see an open border, a reversal of fossil-fuel policy, and the erosion of traditional cultural norms. The piece concludes by urging voters to reject this revolutionary agenda and preserve the Constitution.
