The censorship by this forum to disallow discussion of an article posted earlier and authored by a figure as prominent and  reputable as Victor Davis Hanson is abhorrent. No matter how it's dressed up. 

'In your opinion'. What is that backed up with?

I've followed him (and JBP) for about a decade. He is a very grounded individual and you won't catch him out on a lie. Unfortunately, he is a realist that tells it how it is - this doesn't go down well with circa 50% of the general public who favor feelings over facts.

 

He is seen as a traitor to his former liberal cohorts because he quite simply interprets the world based on what is observable. That's a giant red flag in this age of cognitive dissonance.

 

He stood still in the middle while the wokery pushed way out to the left, so now he is by definition, far-right. Go figure.
