America in revolution

On National Review by Victor Hanson.

Man, this guy is good. Reading him is like taking a little trip. His essays are models of university writing in which reading them is like running headlong straight into a force field, the conclusion brilliantly clearly pre-conceived and each preceding paragraph a brick cemented into place producing a well built unassailable wall that is his conclusion.

His idea this time is America is presently in a state of revolution. Hanson provides the evidence needed for such a conclusion. Hanson describes the original revolution and the second revolution of the Civil War, and the third revolution, the leftest progressive takeover of the country. He defines what that means, what that looks like, when it started, the pervaded institutions. Hanson describes how leftists advanced through our civilization and the barriers they encounter that frustrate their takeover, what they do about that, and what all that looks like today.

Finally each brick of Hanson's construction is neatly in place and leveled, sitting upright and solid, Hanson applies his crowing top layer that was actually the first thing that was built.

Almost everything we have seen in just the last three months — the Kavanaugh chaos, the “caravan,” the ongoing Mueller octopus, recounting election results until they are deemed “correct,” the Beto and Gillum neo-socialism craziness, the swarming of a Fox News anchor’s home, driving public officials out of restaurants, the media circus at presidential press conferences — are symptoms of revolutionary America. In this conflict, one side believes it is not only not fair but also not allowable that it lacks the necessary power to make us all equal — but equal only in the eyes of a self-anointed elite.

See? That came first. Everything else was rallied to support it and placed in front of it.

And you sit there in awe going, "Bloody hell, that is awesome!" If only it weren't published on such a crap site. Honestly. The site does all that it can to dissuade the reader from finishing and to distract the reader to lesser things. An unrelated video is plunked right in the middle and when you scroll past the video follows you and stays put at the side. And when you click the video away it plays!

And at the bottom there's this thing underneath it all among a row of icons, a drawn empty speech bubble, a button for comments, and you think, okay, now who can presume to contest a single buffed up burnished word of this?  Hanson must attract a load of arrogant presumptuous readers. Because who else would read him, humble people eager to learn?

Let's read them and see.

* Confused about the word "turba."

* Corrections of typos.
“Null and avoid” should be “null and void”
“Unquietly good” should be “uniquely good”
“electronic turba” should be “electronic tumbrel”

[Ha ha ha . He overlooked the "in in" redundancy, missing his chance for "in in" should be "in." Kiss Hanson's butt, D]
