Conservative historian and scholar, Victor Davis Hanson, made an excellent point about the communists of the DSA last night during an appearance on the Sean Hannity Show.
Hanson pointed out that people like Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and others have come to the United States of America from failed states but seem to want to reenact the very failure that they fled from.
He also noted how ironic it is that all of the people at the top of this movement are extraordinarily wealthy. Even the influencers like Hasan Piker, who lives in a million dollar home and drives a Porsche.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, HOOVER INSTITUTION SENIOR FELLOW: Yeah, this is a top-down phenomenon, Sean. And it’s mostly 85 percent of the membership of the Democratic socialists are identify as white and the majority are — have college degrees and they’re very frustrated that their brilliance wasn’t recognized or appreciated in these very expensive urban enclaves where they live.
But they’re all wealthy. I mean, Mamdani is a single child. He grew up in privilege. His family was among the one percent in Uganda. They have a family compound on Lake Victoria.
Ro Khanna now is flirting with socialism. His wife drives a $200,000 Range Rover. He — the kids have golf courses in their names. We could go on and on and on.
Hasan Piker, he bought a almost a $3 million home in West Hollywood. He drives a Porsche.
So, it’s not coming from the working class. It’s not coming from minorities necessarily. It’s coming from an affluent group of people, and second and first generation people that are migrating — immigrating here, Chevalier, Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib who left failed states and they come over here and apparently they want to reenact the mass — the disaster they fled from.
It makes no sense, but they’re not going to identify the politician part. They don’t want to identify as socialist or communist because it’s a death knell in a race. But the people who are egging them on are the non- politician.
Hasan Piker, you know, you got to be brave. You got to tell everybody you’re a communist. See that, try that and see how you do in anywhere — outside of New York or Denver or Cambridge, Mass. I don’t think you’ll do very well.
Here’s the video:
It’s all a facade.
Victor Davis Hanson just spent nearly two minutes exposing the champagne socialists like Zohran Mamdani, Ro Khanna and Hasan Piker.

Hanson is correct about all of this. Isn’t it funny how no one in the media seems to notice any of this?
