Victor Davis Hanson: The Ungrateful Urban Class Turning Into the New Democrat Socialist Party

About this episode
Victor Davis Hanson discusses the rise of Democrat Socialism among urban consumers, immigrants, and DEI advocates and its implications for the Democrat Party.
The disease of Democrat Socialism is slowly spreading throughout three groups of people: urban consumers, immigrants, and DEI advocates. Their symptoms and agenda include everything abnormal to traditional American policy: open borders, amnesty for illegal immigration, and the conflation of citizenship with mere residency. Their methodology is to run in select blue cities in local elections, giving them a chance to out-fund and out-perform the Democrats. And if they do that well, socialism could spread throughout the entire Democrat Party. Socialists can’t afford to create a third party, so they’re simply taking over another. 👉Pepperdine School of Public Policy - visit https://go.pepperdine.edu/dailysignal to learn Learn more about your ad choices.
