The Biden administration's agendas may have fundamentally changed the country for decades, if not longer—and will require tough remedies that may be almost as unpopular as the wreckage they wrought. Most Americans believe it is unhinged to deliberately destroy the border and allow 10 million illegal aliens to enter the country without background audits, means of support, any claims to legal residency, and definable skills. And worse still, why would federal authorities be ordered to release repeat violent felons who have gone on to commit horrendous crimes against American citizens?

As usual, VDH hits the nail on the head. The salvation of the USA will be touch-and-go in the next few years.

And the Left counts on our side being 'civil' or religious enough not to 'silence' them all. When in the course of human events.......

The logic is very simple. The actions by Biden and the Democrats are designed to harm and destroy the economic, military, judicial, and daily life needs of the citizens of this country and to import a replacement population to accelerate and assist in that objective.
It is impossible to come to any other logical conclusion. Now, what are the current citizens going to do about that?

For a start, deport the illegals and adopt Argentina's Milei policy of getting rid of 50% of government departments. Then move onto the hard stuff.

Evil Obama scum and his evil minions are really trying to destroy the USA and collapse the system. They are happy to have a collapsed, dysfunctional disaster. Their WEF buddies will find a destroyed and weakened and destitute USA easier to take over.

The only good thing about all of this is by the time it is completed I'll be on the shady side of the grass. I pity who ever or what ever is left. This country faces annihilation unless we can rid ourselves of Hussein the Horrible and his Court Jester The Delaware Dummy.

I am not pessimistic about the time restoration will require. What I am pessimistic about (especially after the Trump trial) is the corrupt courts doing their duty.

The first step in solving a problem is acknowledging one exists. The second is to find the root cause. VDH has accomplished both steps.
There’s a Jesuit saying “ It’s better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness. “
We each need to light our metaphorical candle and be prepared to do our part to take our country back and to rebuild it to the country the founders intended it to be.
Considering how racist and misogynistic the DemoniKKKRat party is, it should be outlawed and banished from these United States of America!

FTA, the last paragraph - "The Biden years did the country great damage and rendered Biden himself one of the most unpopular incumbent presidents in American history. But his agendas may have fundamentally changed the country for decades, if not longer—and will require tough remedies that may be almost as unpopular as the wreckage they wrought."
Most sadly, too many Americans let Obie's transformation of America happen out in the open and right before their very eyes. And the 30 million+ illegals couldn't be happier. As for the supposed 40 percent of American citizens who still support and will vote for biden the cheater and the dims...

We can work for years to carefully dismantle all that the traitors within our government have accomplished against our will or we can do it the easier and faster way, all-out war that will correct the damage and destroy the evil ones in the process. I'm leaning toward Plan B, which can be dubbed "the 1776 solution."

#8, you might want to rethink that. 45 years later, we and the entire planet are still suffering the effects of the Carter administration. Every terrorist attack since the taking hostage our embassy personnel in Tehran can be laid right at Carter’s heinous feet. If we survive, I fear that my great grandchildren will still be suffering the evil of 0bama and his cabal.

Everything VDH said is absolutely true.
The question: Who is behind it? Biden? Nope. He's a puppet. Obama? In many ways, he is a puppet too. Who benefits from these policies? These policies seem designed to cause more harm than good. Who would do that? First suspects are foreign adversaries that want us dead. China, Russia, and Iran come immediately to mind. Problem is they cannot directly influence policy. Or can they? Propaganda and influence are cornerstones of how they 'govern'. They are absolutely influencing our country. Also, there is such a thing as an economic war. The other group is billionaire looter tyrants who are bleeding the country dry for their own personal benefit. Some of those billionaires aren't even American. They are the globalists seeking after world power.
What can be done about it? Not sure it can be fixed. You cannot repair corruption. It has to be torn down. You cannot fix stupid either. So many people have been dumbed down and divided. Go ahead and try to reform the government. We might get lucky. Meanwhile, protect yourself and the loved ones around you as best you can. Things will get worse before they get better. We will probably see 50 trillion in federal debt before this turns around.

I don't think it will take that long...I think a real man at the helm like President Trump will get it done quickly...

An excellent comment appears below Hanson's article, worth quoting in its entirety:
"Maximus-Cassius
"Totally agree with Professor Hanson’s analysis. When someone hates you (as Obama hates this country) and tells you they will hurt or even kill you (what does “fundamental transformation” mean other than fundamental), it is a very good idea to believe them.
"So the overall summation of VDH’s article is Cloward-Piven; the use of government policies and regulations to overwhelm, degrade and destroy the American economy, culture, armed forces, and legal system in order to create a dystopian nightmare. In this regard, I’d say Obama and the Democrats (with considerable help from DC Republicans) have been quite successful."
