Victor David Hanson:

And they call it the MAGA revolution? It’s not a revolution. It is a counterrevolution. There’s a big difference. This is a restoration. Let’s use the word ‘Trump Restoration.’

We don’t know really, we don’t really appreciate what we’ve been through with 8 years of the Obama Revolution, and the 4-year, more radical, 3rd term of using or employing the waxen effigy of Joe Biden.

A revolution that we’ve experienced was a cultural, economic, political, social revolution.
It was very similar to the French Revolution under the Robespierre brothers. Remember what they tried to do? They changed the days of the week. They renamed things. They tore down statues. They went after the churches. Does this sound familiar?

This revolution that we’ve experienced – everything was up for sale. Everything was negotiable.

We invented a third gender and rammed it down people’s throats.

We tore down statues.

We said 1776 was no longer the foundational date; it was 1619.

We changed the very mechanism that we vote. We went from 70% of the electorate voting on election day, to 70% of the electorate not doing that, either through mail-in or early voting. That was a radical change that had no discussion. It was done by fiat. It was incredible.

We looked at girls sports and we destroyed it. We said that transgendered biological males that were now transgendered females could compete. They won over 600 medals they took away from hardworking female athletes.

We had drag shows among young children.

It was an effort to change the entire constitution. We forget that. They were trying to bring in Puerto Rico as a state and Washington D.C. to get 4 instant Senators. They were proud

They said that they were going to pack the Supreme Court; it hadn’t been done- hadn’t been tried since 1937, and it was an object of disgrace ever since, but they were proud to try it again.

They talked about making states, the Senate, look like the House. They wanted, and a lot of them are advocating that it was not fair that one Senator in Wyoming, take one example, is worth 250,000 votes but a Senator in California represented 20 million. They wanted to change the makeup of the Senate. They wanted to get rid of the Senate filibuster. Remember that.

They wanted to bring back neo Confederate nullification. Six hundred jurisdictions, in the manor of South Carolina in 1832, are on the edge of the Civil War in 1860 when neo Confederate Southern states said that, ‘Federal Government’s law does not apply to us.’ ‘Tariffs? Yankee tariffs? No, no! We’re going to override them.’ Andrew Jackson almost invaded the Carolinas over that, South Carolina. And so these jurisdictions said that, ‘Federal law doesn’t apply here. We’re exempt. We have our own laws. Federal immigration law does not apply here. It applies everywhere else, to you, you, you…but not to us.’

So this was a Revolutionary movement. Movies were different; sports were different, ‘take a knee’ and Donald Trump came in and it was not sufficient to say, ‘We’re going to stop the madness of 37 billion dollars; we’re going to stop the madness being short 40 or 50 thousand military recruits because of this DEI coupled with the humiliation in Kabul; we’re going to stop the appeasement of China.’

But that wasn’t all, he said, ‘The government is broke. We’re going to go through all of these agencies.’ And finally, for the first time in the history of this country, when somebody says they are going to cut spending and drain the swamp or cut the administrative…..we’re going to do it.

And there’s going to be no changing names except to go back to traditional names. And we’re not going to topple statues. And if you break the law, and you’re on campus, and you’re on your student visa, you’re going to go back home.

So we’re in the midst of a counterrevolution. It’s not revolution. You know what it is? It’s a return to normalcy. It’s a return to common sense. It only looks revolutionary to revolutionaries, but to the rest of the people, it is a counter-revolution to restore normalcy, and bring the country from the far left fringes back home again.
