A recurring theme in Hanson’s analysis is the importance of reaffirming American identity and values. He argues that immigration should come with a commitment to integration—learning the language, understanding American history, and embracing the American Dream. Without this, society risks degradation into factions that prioritize ideological divides over shared national principles.
Mamdani’s victory, from this perspective, exemplifies the consequence of a divided society where cultural and ideological values are at odds. Hanson calls for a return to the core principles rooted in Judeo-Christian ethics and constitutional democracy—values that have historically undergirded American society.
