Victor Davis Hanson: The 2024 Election Changed Everything

The 2024 election shattered every narrative the media tried to protect. Nearly half of Hispanics voted for Donald Trump. Over a quarter of black men broke ranks. And the white working class held its line. Victor Davis Hanson breaks it down: the Democrats didn’t lose because they weren’t left enough—they lost because Americans are tired of the lies, the flip-flops, and the performative radicalism. Kamala Harris said no to deportations, then yes. Said no to walls, then yes. No to fracking, then yes. And voters noticed. Now, as Biden is tossed aside like a used puppet and Kamala rebrands overnight as a “moderate,” Hanson asks the real question—will the Democrats ever learn, or are they just McGovern 2.0 on repeat?

Meanwhile, Trump enters 2025 as a transactional Jacksonian, promising tax cuts, deportations, and economic shock therapy through deregulation, foreign investment, and energy dominance. Elon Musk, once the darling of the left, now finds himself exiled and bitter—furious that he played the fiscal hero and got smeared for it. Hanson explains why a third party won’t work, why Trump always wins the personal fight, and how a “Laffer-on-steroids” economic strategy could either blow up the deficit—or trigger a Reagan-style boom. This isn’t politics anymore—it’s economic war, demographic revolt, and elite panic. And Trump? He’s not retreating. He’s reloading.
