Part 2/7:
Hansen opens his discussion by referencing the last decade marked by multiple controversies surrounding Trump, including allegations of Russian collusion, incessant lawsuits, and a staggering number of indictments. Collectively, these accusations have produced two significant outcomes: public fatigue and a reliance on sensational drama as a substitute for meaningful debate.
He draws a parallel to the historical reflections of the French Foreign Secretary Talleyrand, who famously stated that after the restoration of the French monarchs, they had "forgotten nothing and learned nothing." Hansen posits that the modern left reflects this sentiment through its inability to evolve beyond tactics that have not effectively served their agenda.
