Victor Davis Hanson: Snarky Europeans Scowl At Truth-teller Vance

Snarky Europeans Scowl At Truth-teller Vance.

Europeans sat aghast after Vice-President J.D. Vance dared to suggest that their socialist democracies have become illiberal, intolerant, authoritarian—and on the wrong side of global populism.

Like some addict that knows his habit is killing him, and yet who cannot resist another fix, so the Euros war on fossil fuels and hollow out their middle classes.

They keep borders open to massive, illiberal illegal immigration. Yet they know the result bankrupts social services, spikes crime, and turns “diversity” into dangerous ethnic and religious chauvinism and contempt for generous host countries.

The recent Euro Ministers in Vance’s audience both publicly and to their leftwing monopolistic media complained bitterly about the American’s “interference” in their internal affairs.
