Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson said Thursday that while the Democratic Party appears to be “hemorrhaging,” he believes they don’t fully grasp how much the “new left” within their coalition is “despised” by voters.

Throughout Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign against President-elect Donald Trump, Democrats and corporate media escalated their rhetoric, even labeling Trump a “fascist” at one point. On The Victor Davis Hanson Show, Hanson highlighted how “bulletproof” Trump seems to be against these name-calling attacks, suggesting that voters’ frustration with “the establishment” is a major factor in their support for the former president, the Daily Caller reported.

“That’s why Donald Trump is bulletproof. That’s not a good metaphor after the two [assassination attempts], but my point is that they can’t, they thought that, they don’t understand, it’s even weirder than that,” Hanson said. “When they go after him and call him a fascist and a dictator, and they melt down, it’s not that that has no influence upon him. That makes Donald Trump more sympathetic, and people like to hear that about him, that he gets such a rush out of these awful people. That helps him.”

“The antithesis is true too,” he continued. “I didn’t think it was, but I’m beginning to think it is, that when Donald Trump says things that you’re not supposed to say, you know, like, ‘Kamala Harris was a low knowledge voter, low IQ’ or something, or ‘dumb as a post,’ … When Trump gets out of hand, people are so angry at the establishment.”

“If they hear Trump say something out there, and they think that’s going to make the establishment angry, then that’s fine with them,” Hanson added.

Hanson also pointed out that he doesn’t believe Democrats realize that not only is the Republican Party “happy” with its current direction, but it’s the “new left” that has turned the Democratic Party into something more “anarchist.”

“I don’t think the left have any idea — this new left — how despised they are by the majority of people. They don’t understand the more they talk about ‘the Republican Party has been hijacked,’ the party, 94% of the Republican Party are happy where it is now,” Hanson said.

“It’s the party that’s changed, the Democratic Party. It’s the one that’s hemorrhaging because it doesn’t even look like anything close to the old Democratic Party. It’s a full-blown, neo-socialist, anarchist party,” Hanson concluded.
