We’ve all heard the Democrat talking points ad nauseam—from the Epstein files to Obamacare, from Trump’s health and MRI to inflation, affordability, and Biden-era policies. 

But what’s the strategy behind focusing so heavily on their GOP opponents instead of the bigger picture? Victor Davis Hanson says it’s “just an excuse for the lack of a serious agenda”—and Democrat voters don’t seem to mind. Hanson breaks down these Democrat narratives and what it means for 2026 and beyond on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

“Do they say, ‘Here's my alternate plan for immigration. I want one million, two million, three million illegal. I want to go back to the Biden [administration] , two million illegal aliens a year’? No, nothing. ‘Obamacare: Here's how we're going to solve it so we don't need subsidies. A, B, C.’ Nothing.”
