Victor Davis Hanson posted “The Nihilism of the Left” at American Greatness, and he concludes:
The Left got what it wanted and now
controls academia, the media, the internet, K-12 education, corporate
boardrooms, the Pentagon, Wall Street, and Hollywood. And they more or less
have turned each of these into versions of Pravda. The sermons, arrogance, and narcissism of these woke
cultural imperialists now explain why they are disliked as much abroad as they
are at home.
In sum, we are watching a rare
laboratory experiment in which the traditional American fringe is now in
control of the government. In pursuit of its utopian omelet, the Left cares
little about the millions of middle-class Americans it must break to make it.
The result is an unmitigated disaster that not only has tarred the Democratic
Party, corrupted once-revered agencies, and alienated half the country from our
cultural institutions, but now endangers the very health and security of the
United States.

Let us hope that what we are witnessing is indeed “a rare laboratory
experiment” that can fail and be replaced by experiments that have worked – you
know, a constitutional republic.
