Victor Davis Hanson: The Democratic Party is dead, long live the Jacobins!

For the past century, the agendas of the Democratic Party were predictable. They professed concern for working Americans and supported blue-collar unions.
Unemployment insurance, a 40-hour work week, disability insurance, and Social Security were their trademarks — often rapidly achieved by growing government bureaucracies and continually raising taxes. Still, many Democrats were socially conservative.
By the 1970s, Democrats still deplored antisemitism. Party officials had rejected their own segregationists to champion civil rights.
Presidents like Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy all supported strong defense and military deterrence.
All that is now passe.
The only vestigial Democrat left in Congress is Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, himself roundly despised by Democrat leaders.
Today, supporting Israel and calling for campuses to stop their institutionalized antisemitism is Democratic political suicide.
Forty years ago, any Democrat with a Nazi tattoo was political toast; today, he can become the party’s nominee for the Maine Senate race.
So, the current Democrat Party is no longer truly democratic at all. Its new spirit and methods resemble the radical Jacobin Party of the French Revolution. Today, Democrats claim that if any opponent gives a Roman salute, he is a Nazi — while insisting that one of their own with a Nazi tattoo is not.

Democratic Party has morphed so far left the last two decades that Bill Clinton would be called a far right extremist if he ran today.
But it’s the ‘not slobbing Jewish dick’ that’s just a step too far and signals the end for the party of old!!!
Burning cities, stealing elections, cutting dicks off kids, yeah those are all bad… but not supporting Israel, whoa that’s a line too far to cross

I’m pretty sure the democrats running around in bedsheets for decades prior really loved them some Jews. Democrats certainly didn’t reject their segregationists views either. They took part in the longest filibuster in congressional history to oppose the civil rights act. It was Republicans who rammed it through.

When you hear a Democrat lecturing you about Jim Crow 2.0, a Poll tax, and voter intimidation at the polls. You should listen intently…these frickers know what they’re talking about.

Wait what……

In late 2025, Maine Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner faced scrutiny over a chest tattoo resembling the Nazi Totenkopf (death's head) symbol, which he subsequently had covered up

"Anti-semitism" isnt in the f'ng top 20 concerns of your average conservative trying to make a living, provide for his family and keep their kids safe and away from kids with parents not concerned about education. What a joke.

Bill Clinton started this ball rolling for where the Democrat Party is today. What Clinton did was fool people like you into actually believing he was a moderate. Look at who he was married to and it wasn't a marriage based on love it was purely political. Bill and Hillary are communist and they fooled everyone. NAFTA is Bill's baby along with paying black women to pop out babies without a daddy, he was wonderful for this country.

They’re definitely a Marxist party now.

Back then? Yes.
But, the Clintons endorsed Mamdani. As usual, they do whatever is best for them.

I remember quite well the old Democrat party as the party of street level working Americans.....that was well over 25 years ago.

100% and it’s exhausting.

Yet Bill Clinton is eerily silent on the direction of his party.

Exactly. Bill Clinton was no moderate. Look no further than those he appointed to the federal bench and to run his agencies, particularly the little runt Robert Reich.

They milked that group dry. Hispanics are the new majority-minority, so they pivot to the "no one is illegal" bullshite. Blacks are very slowly coming around to the realization that they have been played as a pawn for a very long time.
