The Daily Signal - VDH: Trump, Conservatives Are Faced With ‘Unknown Frontiers.’ Are We Ready To Face Them?
Just like Captain Kirk ventured into uncharted space, America is now stepping into political and economic territory no one thought possible. We’ve been told these ideas were impossible. But now, by doing what the Right has promised for decades, America is breaking every “rule” the expert class clings to.
Victor Davis Hanson breaks down what this means for the Trump administration conservative movement on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ On the budget, on the economy, on the universities, on the border—and I could apply this as well to the radical changes in military recruitment, in DEI—no one has ever said, ‘We're going to actually do what conservatives and Republicans have promised for a half-century.’ And when you do that, and you actually carry through your promises, you're in unknown territory. “
