I dislike Trump and I am not a rino. If anything I find him being way too socially liberal, not conservative. I don't see how leftist pro-abortionsts like Gabbard, Musk and Kennedy are better than Mitt Romney though?
Jordan Peterson described Trump as being viewed by the elites as "déclassé," and this is accurate: Trump's appeal is not to the interests of the elites; his appeal is to the concerns of the common man. This, and the fact that as a complete political outsider, he managed to beat the political class at its own game, is why he has earned the contempt and implacable hatred of the elites--of both parties.
Trump is a member of the economic elite - he's a billionaire himself - but he is different than many of his fellow plutocrats in one very important way: He knows that the people are the foundation of the wealth and prosperity of this country, ordinary people and not the kind of sliver spoon types who so infest the American aristocracy. He knows that if the America of the common man falls, they and it take everything and everyone else with them. And he's absolutely right. Thank goodness he has some strong and capable allies this time around.... because he's gonna need them. This fight isn't over, in fact it is just getting started. And the people who voted for him had better not roll over and go back to sleep again like last time; all hands are needed on deck for this one....
The Republicans that dislike Trump are angry in my opinion because they devoted their careers to politics and here comes this guy who energizes their constituents in ways never seen before. They love being in big government for the respect versus Trump who wants accomplishments that the people really want. As a voter, I am sick of this Uniparty and Trump has exposed the worst offenders. Their future is at risk and they aren’t happy. I hope Trump will put an end to these politicians who when they lose or retire they can’t become lobbyists. Let them get real jobs, pay their own way in life just like the rest of us. None of them have done us any favors and they deserve nothing.
The part of this I think there is something to is they genuinely thought they were impacting policy and people were listening to them. Whatever influence they had was shown to no longer exisr
And what China did in 2018 and got caught in 2019 and now you can see their buddies invited into BRICS. Feeding into our enemies is a clear offense of a country that we should rethink and reposition as a collective G7
No, you want Trump to be a dictator from day one. Trump is a liar, adulterer, convicted felon, grifter and con man. You have been conned by Trump. Trump's lies about the election being stolen caused the MAGA cult to invade our capitol and people died. No real patriot would vote for Trump.

@@NJDevil1982 she already has. They'd prefer a Republican in the WH, but see Trump as such a threat to our system of government and way of life that a Democrat is better than an autocrat.

I lost all respect for George Will, Bill Crystal and their ilk when they became never Trump. I was so frustrated with the GOP before Trump. I left the democrats when I got out of college in the 90's and realized they were not for people trying to make their way in the world and who were willing to work hard. They wanted to punish me. So I left them. I was in the GOP, because there was no other real alternative. I got so angry with them when they failed to live up to their promises. I supported W Bush on his foreign policy, thinking he was smart enough to get it done and fixed quickly, especially after 9-11. But it all just kept dragging on. Then Obama pushed through his healthcare plans which I knew were not going to improve things, and the GOP let them do it. McCain even helped! So I was not enthusiastic about the GOP for years. Then Trump came along. I didn't like him at first. I was not a viewer of his show, not liking reality TV. But I got a couple of his books and liked what I read. Then, when he showed what he would do in the primary debates, I was all in for him. I didn't think he would win. But when he did, I was glad. And I was ecstatic when he started actually following through on his campaign promises! A Republican that actually delivered, and was rolling back the democrats' socialist policies! So when these "conservative" pundits came out as Never Trump ,despite Trump's conservative policies, I knew their true colors. They aren't for the American people. They are for their DC elite cocktail party groups and coffee klatches.
Same, here. I never watched "The Apprentice". I became a Trump fan after reading the book that he co-wrote with Robert Kiyowaski. "Why We Want You to Be Rich". They warned of the destruction of the middle class.
I first noticed that when I moved out to Southern California in 2007. Legal Hispanics, some of whom had families living in the US for 150 years, were bigger border hawks than me. They were at ground zero. Their lives were negatively affected by unchecked illegal immigration.
Most of my crew ( electricians) told me they were voteing Trump back in 2016 I was shocked and they wanted the border Closed they were smart enough to know illegals would eventually take their jobs working for less money and I said they always had a job with me Hispanics are great workers !!
I met a Mexican American man sitting at Old Faithful in Yellowstone in 2017, who lived on Texas border. He decried what the left was fighting Trump over then. He saw what border security was fighting for. US.
I've never forgotten what George Will said about Reagan when he was negotiating with Gorbachev in 1987 to eliminate the threat of nuclear war. He called Reagan a "useful idiot". That's George Will. He's Bushie Uniparty guy, like Rove Cheney, Romney etc.
@@andrewdalessandro9277 At the time, being a fairly far left Democrat voter who was also rural and hardline pro-2A, I was somewhat understanding of Obama's statement. As insulting as it was to many of the people I grew up around, it was also reflective of how I saw some of the behaviors of my neighbors. By the time Clinton made her "deplorables" statement, I realized that I had afforded Obama and the DNC too much grace. It wasn't a harsh-but-fair criticism of stubbornly obstructionist behavior. It was contempt for those "backwards" people as a group. They don't just hate your behavior or values; they hate you.
The common people want common sense and don't want to become a Socialist Communist dictatorship. The common people enjoy their freedom and liberty in a democratic Republic. VOTE, Trump 24 47 Y'all 🤠
I don't want my sons being forcibly drafted to go fight in some sandbox, such that the outcome is giving 80 billion in high tech equipment away and losing 13 of our soldiers for nothing.
@Dalko26- I was once a teacher of martial arts, and had a lot of teenaged students, some of whom asked me about careers in the military. Back in the old days, I used to recommend it, but not anymore since Obama, Biden et al. gained power. I tell them if they want to help their country and themselves to learn a trade, get married, and start a family. War has always been a racket, but there was one important difference back eighty years ago: The ruling class sent their sons into uniform too, and into combat in some cases. Franklin Roosevelt had three sons in the military during WW2, and they all saw action and went in harm's way. When's the last time anyone in today's Washington D.C. did that? They and theirs don't intend to get their hands dirty, let alone bloody, fighting all of those wars they start. They regard your sons and perhaps daughters, too, as cannon fodder to be spent furthering their career ambitions, wealth and status. General S.D. Butler's book from the 1930s is still in print and still as powerful as ever, "War is a Racket" - it is worth the time to read and eye-opening to say the least. Butler retired in 1931 as the highest-ranking Marine in China after a distinguished career which saw him earn not one but two Medals of Honor. He'd hoped to become Commandant of the Corps, but was not chosen. During the last decade of his life, he became something of a pacifist and wrote the book.

Thank you John Anderson and Victor Davis Hanson for explaining what American politics has become without the obvious bias of the Washington Beltway 'experts' and pundits.

Hillary refers to anyone supporting Trump as “ deplorable “ . When they tried busing illegal immigration members to Martha’s Vineyard the community raised such an uproar that they then had to bus them to sanctuary city New York to join the government sponsored direct flight recipients in hotels accommodations there. They seemed to be of the not in my back yard mindset.
Trump is a very difficult man. He alienates many. But he is a means to an end. His preferred policies are clear, but the degree of sucess depends on the makeup Congress, policy details and the basic persuasion of the proposed change. His policies began substantial changes beginning in 2016. In 2020, most continued, unchanged. Trump 2024
Trump is "difficult"as you term it, but the American people have tried, time and time again, being polite with the Washington insiders and the ruling class working against the interests of the people and it didn't work.

Because they're not really conservative.
Trump is far from a conservative
There are ZERO conservatives in the mainstream of society. It's Liberals Left, Right, Middle, Not political
@@Antonio_Serdar True. But not as far as they are.
…and they honestly believe that Harris will work with them or listen to their concerns? Wake up, people.
Yeah that's the thing that just makes no sense. Fine they hate him. Then why vote the opposite of him and your own views. Make it make sense??? Main thing I think Republicans and all political parties really should be able to officially remove the party status someone 'claims' if they don't follow the views of. Of course like everything political though that would be abused.
@@NJDevil1982 she already has.
They'd prefer a Republican in the WH, but see Trump as such a threat to our system of government and way of life that a Democrat is better than an autocrat.
Biden/Harris passed multiple major bipartisan bills and her border policy is a bill which James Lankford (very conservative Republican Senator) was the main author of.
@@peterjermey7235She did? I thought that it has Biden’s presidency? Oh wait, we’re playing the blame shifting game where now all the good stuff is hers and all the bad stuff was Biden’s.
She was useless as a senator and VP, fitting as she’s just diversity hire. And the immigration bill was absolute garbage that wouldn’t have fixed anything.!!
It doesn't matter if they "honestly believe" anything. It's never Trump. He's that big of a threat.
@@peterjermey7235 Did they all forget he's already been there. Are they or are we now living in some alternate reality that he has not already served 4 years and not done any of those things. While they claim to need to do things they could have done the last 4 years? (edit fixed spelling)
VOTE EARLY- BRING YOUR FRIENDS & RELATIVES!! Get these incompetent people out of office!!
VDH explains it so well in a way that isn’t partisan or emotional, which is why I trust and respect him.
The Blue Bloods in the Old Republican party don't like the idea that they'd have to rub elbows with the working man.
They're elitists!!!!
That is so true. Rubbing elbows with the working man has NEVER bothered Trump.
@@texasskyliner704 He's run graders, front end loaders and driven trucks. He's a working guy at heart!
Glorified horse thieves - look up the ancestors of the BUSHES...highway robbers.
@johnhill7585 He's a spoiled rich kid at heart.
I lost all respect for George Will, Bill Crystal and their ilk when they became never Trump. I was so frustrated with the GOP before Trump. I left the democrats when I got out of college in the 90's and realized they were not for people trying to make their way in the world and who were willing to work hard. They wanted to punish me. So I left them. I was in the GOP, because there was no other real alternative. I got so angry with them when they failed to live up to their promises. I supported W Bush on his foreign policy, thinking he was smart enough to get it done and fixed quickly, especially after 9-11. But it all just kept dragging on. Then Obama pushed through his healthcare plans which I knew were not going to improve things, and the GOP let them do it. McCain even helped! So I was not enthusiastic about the GOP for years. Then Trump came along. I didn't like him at first. I was not a viewer of his show, not liking reality TV. But I got a couple of his books and liked what I read. Then, when he showed what he would do in the primary debates, I was all in for him. I didn't think he would win. But when he did, I was glad. And I was ecstatic when he started actually following through on his campaign promises! A Republican that actually delivered, and was rolling back the democrats' socialist policies! So when these "conservative" pundits came out as Never Trump ,despite Trump's conservative policies, I knew their true colors. They aren't for the American people. They are for their DC elite cocktail party groups and coffee klatches.
Good post.
So true !
@@fred-ts9pb Thanks. I appreciate that!
Perfectly well stated!
Same, here. I never watched "The Apprentice". I became a Trump fan after reading the book that he co-wrote with Robert Kiyowaski. "Why We Want You to Be Rich". They warned of the destruction of the middle class.
I first noticed that when I moved out to Southern California in 2007. Legal Hispanics, some of whom had families living in the US for 150 years, were bigger border hawks than me. They were at ground zero. Their lives were negatively affected by unchecked illegal immigration.
So was Cesar Chavez!
Most of my crew ( electricians) told me they were voteing Trump back in 2016 I was shocked and they wanted the border Closed they were smart enough to know illegals would eventually take their jobs working for less money and I said they always had a job with me Hispanics are great workers !!
Cesar Chavez was anti illegal immigrant with no compromise.
The illegals undercut the wages of the legal citizen farm workers he represented.
I met a Mexican American man sitting at Old Faithful in Yellowstone in 2017, who lived on Texas border. He decried what the left was fighting Trump over then. He saw what border security was fighting for. US.
There's a reason I will never move back to Northern Virginia.
You made some clear points the media seldom discusses.
I quit watching George Will and the rest of those so-called conservatives when they turned on Trump years ago.
They too were part of the system.
I've never forgotten what George Will said about Reagan when he was negotiating with Gorbachev in 1987 to eliminate the threat of nuclear war. He called Reagan a "useful idiot". That's George Will. He's Bushie Uniparty guy, like Rove Cheney, Romney etc.
Why do you think VDH is so tone-deaf as to call them conservatives when they are clearly RINO's? I thought VDH was brilliant. What happened here?
Hilary called them,"deplorables"
Obama started with guns etc talking about rural people. Then she coined the Deplorables. Then I became one . Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸
😂 That worked out well for her.
@@andrewdalessandro9277 At the time, being a fairly far left Democrat voter who was also rural and hardline pro-2A, I was somewhat understanding of Obama's statement. As insulting as it was to many of the people I grew up around, it was also reflective of how I saw some of the behaviors of my neighbors.
By the time Clinton made her "deplorables" statement, I realized that I had afforded Obama and the DNC too much grace. It wasn't a harsh-but-fair criticism of stubbornly obstructionist behavior. It was contempt for those "backwards" people as a group.
They don't just hate your behavior or values; they hate you.
@@MA-ri5he Lol!!! I'm definitely sharing your laugh on that one. Hopefully the dems loose this time so bad it's an absolute embarrassment to them!!!
Does not matter if you hate him…vote him in anyway,..we want a President,..that will do what’s right for the country!!!!
Carlprutzman85,There is no rational reason,for the hate put on Trump.

Brilliant analysis
They are waiting for the time when trump HAS to leave, then they will push the party back to where it was. It will be without me.
Trump is upending the political machine even on the “right”. There is a lot of lobbying on both sides.
And the rest of us are just sick of getting ripped off by incompetent govt.
agree 100%..
The common people want common sense and don't want to become a Socialist Communist dictatorship. The common people enjoy their freedom and liberty in a democratic Republic. VOTE, Trump 24 47 Y'all 🤠
Well said.
I don't want my sons being forcibly drafted to go fight in some sandbox, such that the outcome is giving 80 billion in high tech equipment away and losing 13 of our soldiers for nothing.
@Dalko26- I was once a teacher of martial arts, and had a lot of teenaged students, some of whom asked me about careers in the military. Back in the old days, I used to recommend it, but not anymore since Obama, Biden et al. gained power. I tell them if they want to help their country and themselves to learn a trade, get married, and start a family. War has always been a racket, but there was one important difference back eighty years ago: The ruling class sent their sons into uniform too, and into combat in some cases. Franklin Roosevelt had three sons in the military during WW2, and they all saw action and went in harm's way. When's the last time anyone in today's Washington D.C. did that?
They and theirs don't intend to get their hands dirty, let alone bloody, fighting all of those wars they start. They regard your sons and perhaps daughters, too, as cannon fodder to be spent furthering their career ambitions, wealth and status.
General S.D. Butler's book from the 1930s is still in print and still as powerful as ever, "War is a Racket" - it is worth the time to read and eye-opening to say the least. Butler retired in 1931 as the highest-ranking Marine in China after a distinguished career which saw him earn not one but two Medals of Honor. He'd hoped to become Commandant of the Corps, but was not chosen. During the last decade of his life, he became something of a pacifist and wrote the book.
Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k last year 2023, God bless America ❤️🇺🇲

I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Susan Christy, you're a miracle.
Wow...I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience.
Trump is the man for these hard times..
No he most certainly is not. Jesus is. Jesus sacrificed himself for his people. Trump has done nothing to even help free his own J6 heroes rotting in prison for the last 4 years. He's an utter self-serving coward.
That's funny, calling a pack of RINOs "conservatives".
Victor Davis's very smart he knows exactly what's going on he's he's a deep thinker and he's well thought with his idealisms and his observations are right on we can learn a lot from people like this and try and emulate ourselves into someone like this it's a thinker and a doer and a believer in what's right and not lies and what's wrong I like you😊
Thank you John Anderson and Victor Davis Hanson for explaining what American politics has become without the obvious bias of the Washington Beltway 'experts' and pundits. In this day and age, when an 'expert' associates Trump to fascism, you can bet they are more concerned with their pay and their influence than they are with actually informing the public.
VOTE RED VOTE MAGA VOTE FOR FREEDOM VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP.
VDH is always right, he doesn’t say anything until he has thought it through. That’s why I always listen & read his words.
He's one of the few that is always worth listening to. I would say it's him, Douglas Murray, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Tucker Carlson, and Clarence Thomas. I'm sure there's others but I can't think of them right now. EDIT: Kimberly Strassel as well.
Well hes actually wrong because these never trump conservatives have been proven reg democrats so. Clearly wrong.
He's not always right. Not even close. His only area of real expertise is classical Greece. This is a guy who claims long covid is a thing.

He got my VOTE today so there.
Thank you!
Because they are actually Democrats
RHINO'S!!
uniparty
Democrat would be bad enough, these are actually members of the uniparty which is even worse.
Pretty accurate. Old time economic conservatives were often socially liberal, but on economics were clearly for the rich.The Dems try to pretend they are on the side of the working class, but serve the rich. I have been waiting along time for a G.O.P. or even a Dem party that isn't just for the wealthy. That time could be soon.
they are statists, a huge difference
No...he's just not into the grift that both sides feed off of.
If he was he would've just stayed a Democrat, not switched to be hated by his own party via RINO losers
Yes, that's a big part of it with GOP politicians. But with the pundits Hanson is right. The chief motivator there is snobbery.
What rights did you lose when Trump was president?
The right to trust the media.
@@johnnyelizabethton that’s not a right. I’m talking about constitutional rights and you’re playing games.
As far as the media goes, they’ve been lying about Trump for eight years and you believe everything they say. So don’t tell me you don’t trust the media.
@@johnnyelizabethton I asked a serious question, and all you can do is play games. Think about this, the media is all run by Democrats. If you don’t trust them, then why do you believe everything they say about Trump?
If you don’t trust the media, then it’s the Democrats you don’t trust because the media is all run by liberals
@@johnnyelizabethton the media is run by liberals. Don’t tell me that you don’t trust them because you believe everything they say about Trump. If you don’t trust the media, then it’s the Democrats who you really don’t trust.
@@johnnyelizabethton the media is run by Democrats. So you’re saying you don’t trust Democrats.
VDH is so spot on! 🙌🏻
The time is near!
Hillary refers to anyone supporting Trump as “ deplorable “ .
When they tried busing illegal immigration members to Martha’s Vineyard the community raised such an uproar that they then had to bus them to sanctuary city New York to join the government sponsored direct flight recipients in hotels accommodations there.
They seemed to be of the not in my back yard mindset.
NIMBY
Not In My Backyard
And she one of the discustable
She was spot on.
Old politicians that should be retired still living in the past.
I get to vote for Trump tomorrow 😊
I wish we had a parliament of John Andersons' .
Because Trump isn't a pro-war neocon. The end.
A great analysis!
Trump is a very difficult man. He alienates many. But he is a means to an end. His preferred policies are clear, but the degree of sucess depends on the makeup Congress, policy details and the basic persuasion of the proposed change.
His policies began substantial changes beginning in 2016. In 2020, most continued, unchanged.
Trump 2024
Trump is "difficult"as you term it, but the American people have tried, time and time again, being polite with the Washington insiders and the ruling class working against the interests of the people and it didn't work. Time to bring in a bull in the china shop. If the swamp creatures don't like it, they have no one to blame but themselves. The people will be heard - period!
Those who were named are no longer major conservative voices, and haven’t been for a long time. They have made themselves obsolete.
Jealous Envy = hate
Would absolutely love to see Bill Crystal, George Will, David From, have a discussion with Victor Hanson about Trump.....talk about enlightening and entertaining!
They want to be sanctimonious, at the expense of our country
they already are.
because they are rich already, and their entire life was living on their elite connections......the uniparty
Great explanation.
Trump is building a wall of irrelevance around the Washington DC Elitists.
We all want to thrive and focusing on rebuilding, revamping, and redoing what is not working and putting it into an effective way for the People to build a better future
FACTS!
Hes not a member of the good ole boy club they dont believe hes paid his dues in politics
Exactly. And he actually delivers results as opposed to the rest of the GOP who merely slows down the democrats' march towards communism.

This guy gets it

As usual, VDH is right on target! 🎯
I have always felt Trump is not a Republican which is why the establishment conservatives hate him. This is not a bad thing for those of us that the establishment be they right or left are the essence of the problem.
Trump is more of a moderate or classical liberal or at most moderate conservative.
