Despite the hysterical and relentless partisan and media push to portray the violent, but unarmed and brief afternoon riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, as a ‘deadly insurrection’ and part of a greater ‘threat to democracy,’ a prominent Stanford University scholar argues Democrats are the real insurrectionists.
They pose the greatest threat to the American constitution and system of government.
Victor Davis Hanson is an author, classicist, and historian at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In the Daily Signal he notes that “Democrats have been despondent over President Joe Biden’s sinking poll numbers. His policies on the economy, energy, foreign policy, the border, and COVID-19 all have lost majority support,” explaining that:
As a result, the left now variously alleges that either in 2022, when it expects to lose the Congress, or in 2024, when it fears losing the presidency, Republicans will “destroy democracy” or stage a coup.
So, in a bid to distract from their own failings and Constitutional subversion, as well as fire up their dispirited base, Joe Biden and Kamal Harris both made speeches on January 6 blaming former President Trump directly for the Capitol attack and accusing him of being a continuing threat to America’s democracy.
However, Hanson makes a compelling case for why the Democrats are the real threat to America’s Constitutional system, detailing the various ways Democrats are trying to radically undermine the American political system.
In his commentary rhetorically Hanson asks:
…who is trying to federalize election laws in national elections contrary to the spirit of the Constitution? Who wishes to repeal or circumvent the Electoral College? Who wishes to destroy the more than 180-year-old Senate filibuster, the over 150-year-old nine-justice Supreme Court, and the more than 60-year-old 50-state union?
Who is attacking the founding constitutional idea of two senators per state?
But it doesn’t end there.
Hanson reminds us of all the Constitutional violations involved in the unprecedented, hyper-partisan, Democrat-led dual impeachments of Trump, including impeaching him as a private citizen. This includes having a trial without a Chief Justice presiding, and without a special counsel’s report, formal hearings, witnesses, and cross-examinations.
He continues by adding that:
Hillary Clinton hired a foreign national to concoct a dossier of dirt against her presidential opponent. She disguised her own role by projecting her efforts to use Russian sources onto Trump. She used her contacts in government and media to seed the dossier to create a national hysteria about “Russian collusion.” Clinton urged Biden not to accept the 2020 result if he lost, and herself claimed Trump was not a legitimately elected president.
In the end, Hanson argues:
We are in a dangerous revolutionary cycle. But the threat is not so much from loud, buffoonish, one-day rioters on Jan. 6. Such clownish characters did not for 120 days loot, burn, attack courthouses and police precincts, cause over 30 deaths, injure 2,000 policemen, and destroy at least $2 billion in property—all under the banner of revolutionary justice.
Even more ominously, stone-cold sober elites are systematically waging an insidious revolution in the shadows that seeks to dismantle America’s institutions and the rule of law as we have known them.
Democrats are the real insurrectionists and threats to the American Constitution and system. And all the partisan and media spin should not distract from this reality.

This is not news to anyone who has observed the olitical turmoil in this country for the last five years. Their corruption is far deeper and more insidious than is even stated in this synopsis. This is a ciommunist attack on our constitutional republic by demmocrat socialists, and it must be stopped by whatever means are deemed necessary.
Totally agree. Globalist vs nationalists
Communism vs freedom

GET A LIFE AND DON’T POST ON HERE UNLESS IT’S ABOUT THE ARTICLE!!!!
All the nukes in our arsenal will not save us from the Democrat domestic terrorists. The danger from within is greater than the danger our foreign enemies are posing to us.
Who is this person? He is saying exactly how it is. The communist demwits are the ones causing all this sh-t!! MAGA
If democrats couldn’t lie, cheat, obstruct, extort or steal they couldn’t exist. They are a blight on this great nation…
LISTEN UP…..DOES it LOOK like GOD’S Blessing is with PREZ BIDEN.??? A MAN and a TREE is KNOWN by the FRUIT it BEARS. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
It doesn’t look like God’s blessing is with the USA for its 75+ years of falling away from The Truth. Indeed, we know a tree by the fruit it bears.
I would say this man is right on target. If the democrat party(communists) is not dismantled and left alone to perform its unconstitutional deeds, and push major lies, embrace corruption, lawless open borders, and changes in our congress to provide an avenue to pass alll bills good bad or indifferent, because of the way some people say to, then we are doomed as a nation with the most unfit to rule is forced on the populance of moral people who are supposed to own them.
Jan 6 is pelosis fault for lack of security impeach pelosi for Treason and Sedition against the American People and the Constitution
The Commies are the Democrats America Vote out the Nazis AKA the democratic party next election We The People demand our country back from the Nazis
Yes the communist democrat pedophile racist cult party is bent on turning this country into a democracy that mirrors the german democracy that brought us the nazi party. They want one party politics like nazi germany had. They won’t call themselves nazi, they prefer progressive, which is another name for communist, socialist, green party, american communist party, marxist, they are all communists!! These communist’s have infiltrated the once democrat party and force fed them all the kool-aid of communism.
U Got it right Hanson dead on
The Democrats have been following the communist cancel culture agenda for over 60 years,getting further left every year. Now it’s riots every day in Portland, mass robbery every day in Frisco and NY, mass shootings every weekend in Chi Town.
These Democrat fools, the people storming into the capital on Jan.6th helped them realize how unaware and unprepared they are in our nations capital…they should be thanking the people for opening their eyes. And if they keep pushing their socialist agenda on the american people they will have more than a few hundred people to worry about.
Started under Obama when he dismissed real generals and promoted brown nosers.
We’re here because stupid people voted for him not once, but twice! And now, he’s back for a 3rd term to finish what he started! Thanks to all the stupid people who felt so guilty about being white, and thought that their vote proved they weren’t racist. Pathetic!
This country is in deep trouble with the current regime in charge.
I agree the true insurrectionists are the socialist Democrats… who try to make something out of nothing to push their agenda. I hope they are running scared, which makes them make even more outrageous accusations and statements.. We need to save this country from them…
Good point: UnArmed!
It was the Democrats that opened the doors and incited the “riot”.
Very good AND CORRECT statement by Prof. Hanson:
Insurrectionists are armed rioters, arsonists, murderers – NOT clowns at a party!
Democrat and CATHOLIC are the same. Vote accordingly.
A third of all politicians are “C” traitors. Half call themselves r, half d. CATHOLICS that call themselves ‘r’ do not like Roe v Wade. CATHOLICS that call themselves d’ do not like guns…….. CATHOLICS are NOT Americans, they are CATHOLICS…….Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for a traitor and failure forever.
The arguments and facts are not on their side, so standard practice for Democrats is to distort the facts and abuse the English language, and keep their fingers crossed that the American people will mindlessly take in their lies. Let’s see how that pans out in the mid-terms.
It’ about time the truth is told. Now we just have to make sure the message is clear and spread as far s possible. We can end this with mid-terms and in ’24 get the machine going forward again.
