Why Are They Destroying Us?
By: Victor Davis Hanson
April 3, 2024

If someone wished to destroy America, could he do anything more catastrophic than what we currently see and hear each day? What would an existential enemy do that we have not already done to ourselves?

Here are eleven now familiar steps to civilizational destruction:

1) Wipe out a 2,000 mile border. Allow 10-million foreign nationals to enter unlawfully. Have no audit of any; nullify all federal i*********n l*ws. Let toxic drugs in that k**l 100,000 Americans a year. Give free support for those millions who broke the law. Smear any objectors as r****ts and xenophobes.

2) Run up $35 trillion in national debt. Keep adding $1 trillion to it each 100 days. Defame anyone wishing to cut wild spending as cruel and inhumane.

3). Appease or subsidize enemies like Iran and China. Demonize allies like Israel. Allow terrorists to attack Americans without response. See Islam as either similar or superior to Christianity. Make amends to l*****t governments for supposedly past toxic American international behavior. Follow the lead of international agencies like the UN, ICC, and WHO to atone forpast American neocolonial and imperialist behavior. Recede to second-tier international status, befitting American decline.

4) In a multiracial democracy, redefine identity only as one’s tribal affiliation. Ensure each identity group rivals the other for victimhood and the state spoils it confers. Redefine all political issues by race and sex oppressors and oppressed. Destroy all meritocratic standards of admission, retention, promotion, and commendation.

5) Redefine violent crime as understandable, cry-of-the-heart expressions of social justice. Ensure no bail and same-day release for arrested, repeat violent felons. Empathize with the violent k**ler and rapist; ignore their victims, especially if slain police-officers.

6). Emasculate the military by using non-meritocratic standards of race, g****r, and sexual orientation to determine promotion and commendation. Deliberately smear as r****ts and i**********nists the largest demographic in the military who in recent wars died at twice their numbers in the population—so that they leave or never join the military. Encourage retired high officers to slander their Commander-in-Chief. Cut the defense budget. Stop producing sufficient weapons, but leave billions of dollars’ worth of arms to terrorists.

7) Reinvent the justice system to indict, bankrupt, convict, jail and eliminate political opponents. Use b****t removal, impeachment, civil suits, and state and federal indictments rather than e******ns to defeat an opponent. Mob the homes of non-compliant Supreme Court Justices, attack them personally by name.

8) Encourage the fusion of the bureaucratic state with the electric media to form a powerful force for political audit, surveillance, censorship, and coercion. Marry the FBI to Silicon Valley and hire its contractors to warp the news and hound supposed enemies of the people.

9.) Make war on affordable gasoline and natural gas. Substitute inefficient, unreliable, and expensive wind and solar power, even as energy prices bankrupt the middle class.

10.) Marry late, but preferably not at all. Consider males toxic, especially boys. Have no children, or as few as possible. Otherwise, assure children they are entitled, and must be sheltered. Raise them to have grievances against past generations and current norms.

11.) Turn world-class universities into indoctrination centers. Suspend the Bill of Rights on campuses. Train youth to graduate despising their own culture and civilization. Recruit foreign students from hostile nations to subsidize campus commissar bloat. Replace the curriculum with therapeutic propaganda. Ban the SAT/ACT and do not evaluate high school GPAs. Ensure merit does not select the student body. Charge tuition higher than the rate of inflation. Bill the government when students default on their loans.

So why are those controlling Biden using him to advance much of such a destructive agenda that would end America as we know it?

1) They are delusional and think their socialist and g*******t agendas are working and will save us.

2) They are raging nihilists who do not like the U.S. and deliberately want it destroyed as a service to the world. A ruined U.S. is preferable to a strong America.

3) They are Jacobin revolutionaries who are intentionally erasing the old United States as a prerequisite for creating an entirely new America that will arise from the ashes with no trace or even memory of its past.

4) They have no agenda. They are aimless fools, and utter incompetents. These bunglers just wing it day-to-day, in response to what their radical media, academic, and political masters dictate is necessary for them to retain power. They have no idea of the damage they are doing.

5. A bit of 1-3, but probably not 4.

This should be required reading for anyone who thinks the fool in office now is doing us any good. A lot of the crap Biden's handlers feed him and which he accepts borders on criminal behavior.

That is because POS Biden is corrupt. His behavior does border on criminal behavior. The Left right here in River City, The Attic, does read this stuff. But they support his anti American behavior, his design to take away or limit our rights under the Constitution. Our economy sucks. Biden throws them/us a tidbit and says holiday dinner will be 10% cheaper than last year. We are told prices are going down when every one of us including the lying corrupt Left Wingers right here can easily see prices on just about everything are still going up with no sign of stopping. Yet they tell us all is well. Biden and his corrupt stupid moronic policies are hurting all Americans including the Left and yet when Biden pisses all over ALL Americans we are told it is just rain.

Sadly, there is t***h to all of these points. However, if I believed that it was as bad as that I would be packing up to move somewhere else. (I will not because I still think with all its faults, this is the greatest country in the world and I love it-unlike you) I think that the creativity of the writer is to be commended for his ability to find the worst possible interpretation of events. This is extreme pessimism condensed into a few points.

I am an optimist. You should try it.

My optimism is that exposing these failings will ultimately contribute to correcting them.

All that I've seen so far is that we will soon be the "USSR".

That will be the Unites States Socialist Republic.
This is where we are rapidly going.
We need "MAGA".
Lets elect him.

It's so much more fun for some to piss and moan basically in order to criticize their opposition political party.

Thank you for all your clever negativity. Paradoxically, it has made me more religious. I thank God every day that I don't look at things the way you do.

Some i***ts have nothing better to do than play the sky is falling routine and blame somebody for their insecurities.

What would Jesus do? I reckon there'd be a whole lotta MAGAs getting smited on by regular Jesus.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

No. No, there isn't. Just looking at the first two and reading through the propaganda I can see several blatant errors.

1: The Dems and GOP worked to put together a bipartisan border initiative, then the GOP under Trump's boot shut it down. The GOP owns this one. As far as "open borders", 3 times as many people are stopped trying to cross the border now, as compared with CBP numbers under Trump.

2) Trump has added more debt than any other president (per year in office). He added 7.9 trillion in 4 years; Biden 2.5 trillion in 3 years. Biden wins this one. The country can't stand another 4 years of Trumps don't-tax-the-rich plan.

The boohoohoo boys will continue to whine...

Whining is all we hear out of the trump cultists!

It'll worsen as time passes.
