Victor Davis Hanson argues that Europe’s backlash against mass immigration is gaining momentum, pointing to Alternative for Germany’s electoral gains as evidence of growing dissatisfaction with established parties. He links that discontent to immigration policies, energy costs, and distrust of European Union leadership, predicting further political upheaval across the continent.

Hanson contends that efforts to exclude populist parties from power could strengthen their support. The discussion also turns to assimilation and ethnic tensions in the United States, where he argues that a shared national identity is necessary to prevent social fragmentation.
