Conservative professor and historian Victor Davis Hanson recently appeared on the Piers Morgan show to discuss the 2024 election and how Trump won.
Hanson points specifically to the massive gains that Trump made with minority voters and suggests that had Trump not done that, he would not have won. He says that Trump won these voters by reminding them that they are Americans first and have more in common with each other than Democrats and the media would have people believe.
Hanson is directly implying that this election was a flat-out rejection of the left’s obsession with identity politics. As an example, he mentions the moment when Obama showed up in Pennsylvania to scold black men for not voting for Kamala Harris.
Partial transcript via the Western Lensman on Twitter/X:
“He was able, for the first time in my lifetime, to replace racial tribalism with class solidarity…and that’s what they do not want to confront.”
“In other words, he said to people, if you’re a Mexican-American truck driver, if you’re a black electrician, if you’re a poor white carpenter, you have more in common with each other than you do with your elites on the bicoastal, domain. In other words, the people at Stanford University do not, represent the working man at, in Michigan or the Latino La Raza Latinx media spokesperson does not represent the people I’m living around right now here in the San Joaquin Valley.”
“And that was a radical idea.”
“Where he made unbelievable gains were in Mexican-Americans, Native Americans, Asians and African Americans.”
“And had he not made those gains, he would not have won. And that’s what they do not want to confront, because that’s the keystone of the Democratic Party. Victim, victimization, victimizers oppressor, oppressed. And they have this kind of Marxist binary. And people don’t buy into it, and especially minorities don’t buy it.”

Hanson is a brilliant man. Trump would be wise to find a role for him in the new administration.
