Victor Davis Hanson: Leftist Immigrants Want the Rib Eye but Hate the Host

Victor Davis Hanson:  So my point is this: If in 2024 the Democrats ran with a socialist and felt the socialist was too far left so they had to fake it into making her am old-time Democrat, well, why would they think a communist would have better luck as a moderate than a socialist in 2028? And for that matter, look at 2020. 

They had a lot of socialists up there. They had Bernie Sanders, they had Elizabeth Warren, they had Julián Castro, they had [Pete] Buttigieg. They were far left of the Democratic Party. And what did they do? They brought in old Joe Biden from Scranton, the working man’s man, the guy who said that he didn’t want his kids living in a racial jungle. 

The guy who said that Barack Obama, was the first clean, clean, articulate Black person to run for president. Just horrible stuff he said. Put you all in chains, all that stuff. So they nominated him for the explicit purpose that he would be a moderate veneer and hide their socialism, and he won. He won. 

And so they don’t have any record of winning with socialism anywhere outside a purple state. We’ll see in Texas. Maybe we’ll see in Michigan with those two Senate races, but I doubt it. I’m not sure either one of them is gonna win. But I know that you don’t solve the problem of being too left by nominating a communist in 2028. 

So [Zohran] Mamdani is talking really big, big, big, big, big, big, big, you know, where this is the way of the future, but he can’t point to any purple states or red states whether it’s taking hold, and it won’t take hold.

We saw a version of it. The Tea Party was very different. It incorporated a lot of mainstream Republican [ideas]. But it was angry about two things, spending too much money and Obamacare and RINOs.

But nevertheless, in that following primary, they nominated a lot of poor candidates for Senate. They could have taken the Senate back. Yeah. But they were tagged as too extreme. But they were not too extreme in terms of these people relative to right and left. 

These people are really out there. And do........
