VDH: The Cruel Progressive Creed Undoing Civilization

The prescient Victor Davis Hansen, writing at American GreatnessThe Cruel Progressive Creed Undoing Civilization. A quote from Hansen’s essay:

“As a general rule, anytime anyone anywhere announces that he has a master plan to reorder society and “fundamentally transform” or “reset” it by creating larger government, more rules, and an elite hierarchy to oversee compliance for the recalcitrant, then run.
