Historian Victor Davis Hanson examines the erosion of American citizenship caused by economic decline, open borders, identity politics, and an expanding administrative state. He argues that these forces have weakened allegiance to the nation and personal liberty, threatening the civic foundations that sustained the republic. Drawing parallels to past revolutionary periods, Hanson calls for a conscious effort to rebuild and reclaim the ideals of citizenship before they disappear entirely.
