Domestic Enemies

The Left is America’s oldest enemy.

It was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies.

Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning.

Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who—even two centuries ago—were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination.
 
Every significant social advancement in this country came from the left.

Abolition of slavery
Women’s rights
Worker protections
Civil Rights
Social Security and Medicare
Gay Rights
Environmental Protections
Obamacare

Conservatives opposed them all

Conservatives have done much for the wealthy
They have done nothing for the country
 
Hanson knows history best and values the book:

“In a superb analysis of the early American Left, Daniel Greenfield offers overwhelming evidence how the Left from the founding of the American republic opposed its emphasis on personal liberty and constitutional government. Our present struggle against wokism, globalism, utopianism, socialism, media bias, election rigging, racial essentialism, and the weaponization of government is hardly new. Greenfield shows how and why they were essential to the America Left and the Democratic Party from the very beginning.

A concise and lucid account of the little-known, but extremely important history of today’s American Left—and why it was and is so dangerous.”

Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover institution, Author of The Dying Citizen
 
Today’s RW has evolved from old Conservative hate groups.

The Know Nothings
John Birch Society
Tea Party

Arch Christian, anti immigrant, isolationist fear mongering
 
It ain't your great, great, great, great grandfather's democrat party. Democrats have moved so far off the political charts that issues that were once considered liberal would be condemned today as MAGA ultra conservative.
 
Social security and medicare are two of the top 5 things this nation has ever done. They have helped 10s of millions who could not retire without them because of the low wages Americans are paid.

Can you imagine being 65 and trying to get your own medical insurance on the open market?
