Victor Davis Hanson on Wokeism
From September 21 *2021* Lecture at Hillsdale College:
Victor Davis Hanson has an incredible depth of wisdom and the ability to deliver his messages in a most compelling way. He illustrate his points on our history and current situations masterfully.
In this speech to Hillsdale College, VDH points out the dangers of a movement that says “you must be racist to stop racism and you must discriminate to stop discrimination.”
More classic quotes:
“This woke movement was not started grassroots. It is a top-down phenomenon.”
“These are not revolutionaries out on the barricade. This is an elite drive for the spoils of America camouflaged as if America is culpable.”
“One thing we should remember is the democratic party is no longer the party of the middle class. If you look at the top 20 zip codes in the US by income, 17 voted democratic in 2020. If you look at congressional districts by wealth, the top 20 all voted democrat. The republican party has evolved into an upper and middle class party. The democrat party is the very, very hyper-rich and the subsidized poor.”
