What the Left Did to Our Country

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness

The operating principle is either to allow or to engineer things to become so atrocious in

everyday American life—the inability to afford food and fuel, the inability to walk safely in daylight in our major cities, the inability to afford to drive as one pleases, the inability to obtain or pay back a high interest loan—that the government can absorb the private sector and begin regimenting the masses along elite dictates. All the levers of the power and money are on the side of the revolutionaries. The people are not.
