Hanson proposes a very different response to the Progressive Project and the Trump administration. As noted earlier, Hanson declared that we are in a “larger existential war for the soul of America.” Further, he states, “warts and all, the Trump presidency on all fronts is all that now stands in the way of what was started in 2009” (Obama’s “fundamental transformation of the United States of America.”)

“The Marquess of Queensberry world of John McCain and Mitt Romney,” Hanson tells us, will not halt the march of the Progressive Left, a form of disruption is required. “Either Trump will restore economic growth, national security, the melting pot, legality, and individual liberty or he will fail and we will go the way of Europe,” Hanson writes. “For now, there is no one else in the opposition standing in the way of radical progressivism.”
A lot to digest but worth the read.

I’m a Classic Liberal or Libertarian before it became a bad Conservative. I lean right of center but believe people should enjoy all that is available to us as free citizens and should chart our own destiny. Work hard enjoy the fruits of our labor and play harder. I’m am extremely supportive of the Constitution and believe the Founding Fathers understood better than anyone before or since then the simplicity of the principles of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

I’d lean in favor of Hanson’s theory that we are in an existential fight for The American Way of Life. If that’s American Exceptionalism then I will fight and perhaps die to protect it.

When does the shooting start? (ETA: Some days I wish I was single and without child. Responsibility for others is a bitch! - Sig line in yellow.)
