  • The PMC Problem In Left-Leaning Media

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 22nd 2021 10:20am EST

    Have you ever wondered who is watching this shit on CNN and MSNBC? Who is losing their minds about “white supremacy”? Journalism.org: “There is little difference among Republicans in educational attainment across these news consumption groupings. That is not the case, however, among Democrats. Democrats who consistently used only news outlets with left-leaning audiences to […]

  • The GOP Is Becoming The Blue Collar Party

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 21st 2021 10:39pm EST

    Talk is cheap. We’re waiting to hear two things. NBC Narratives: “WASHINGTON — The exit of Donald Trump has brought back a more normal rhythm to politics in Washington, but outside the Beltway, deeper forces are reshaping the partisan landscape. Data from the NBC News poll shows that the composition of the two major parties […]

  • Poll: Trump Still Commands The Loyalty of GOP Voters

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 21st 2021 3:18pm EST

    I feel like one of those people flying above the coast in a helicopter to get a first look at the damage after Hurricane Joe made landfall. USA Today: “If there’s a civil war in the Republican Party, the voters who backed Donald Trump in November’s election are ready to choose sides. An exclusive Suffolk University/USA […]

  • Steve King Is Speaking At AFPAC II

Why was Steve King drummed out of the Republican Congress? 92% of Trump voters think the mainstream media is identical with the Democratic Party 90% of Trump voters think America is losing faith in the ideas that […]

  • Democrat Big Tent Threatens Neoliberal Joe’s Agenda

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 21st 2021 11:03am EST

    You’re laughing. Joe’s coalition is already disintegrating and you’re laughing. New York Times: “As he ran for president last year, Joseph R. Biden Jr. contorted his campaign to appease both wings of the Democratic Party, trying to excite progressives with an ambitious policy platform while assuring moderates he opposed structural changes to the political process. […]

  • The Political Cesspool: White Populism

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2021 9:10pm EST

    I would like thank James Edwards and Keith Edwards for having me on The Political Cesspool tonight. We’re trying to wrap our minds around all the good news on the explosion of White identity and populism that is showing up in recent polls since Neoliberal Joe became president. Does it make any sense to label […]

  • What Went Wrong For Democrats?

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2021 2:48pm EST

    I was dialed out of politics in 2020. From my perspective, the Democrats were running on toppling statues, censorship, Antifa and Black Lives Matter burning down cities, “Abolish ICE,” “Defund the Police,” systematic racism, open borders, trans issues, etc. The White upper middle class progressive wing of the party was losing its mind. I figured […]

  • Politico: Trump Gears Up For War With “His Own Party”

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2021 12:02pm EST

    The last four years were exhausting. In retrospect, it is obvious that a lot of mistakes were made. Hopefully, the 2020 election and the aftermath exposed most of those flaws and we can learn something from the experience and move forward again. It feels like we were stuck for four years and lost the momentum […]

  • Poll: Republicans Sour On Corporate Power

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2021 3:34am EST

    The good news keeps rolling in. Gallup: “This year’s subdued national satisfaction ratings mask sharp partisan differences. The poll, conducted during President Donald Trump’s final weeks in office, finds Republicans (including independents who lean Republican) more satisfied than Democrats (including Democratic leaners) with all but two of the items, as is typical for the party […]

  • The Bulwark: To Save Democracy, Principled Conservatives Must Ally with Democrats

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 9:36pm EST

    I totally endorse this move. We need all the virtue signaling, cosmopolitan, modernist, suburban neoliberals and neocons in one party. For the last 50 years, they have controlled both parties which has had the effect of degenerating our culture and redistributing wealth upward to themselves. The Bulwark: “Appalled by the GOP’s comprehensive degradation, a serious […]

  • Neoliberal Joe: America First Is Over

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 5:29pm EST

    Neoliberal Joe is an imperialist. The American Empire is back. Those troop withdrawals from Syria, Afghanistan and Germany ain’t happening. We’re committed to staying engaged there forever. New York Times: “For anyone looking for evidence that boasts about “America First” — and the need for America to go-it-alone — are over, President Biden’s speech to […]

  • Karl Rove: Trump Smears Don’t Diminish McConnell

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 4:07pm EST

    Donald Trump shouldn’t listen to Karl Rove. Wall Street Journal: “Donald Trump presumably liked it when Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell voted to acquit him because the senator believes impeachment of a former president is unconstitutional. But Mr. Trump had a very different reaction to Mr. McConnell’s floor speech Saturday, when he rightly said the […]

  • Donald Trump Should Finish Off Conservatism, Inc.

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 12:31pm EST

    It is difficult to exaggerate how much a political liability that Donald Trump’s deference to Conservatism, Inc., the GOP establishment and their hidebound neoliberal agenda was after he defeated them in the 2016 election. This was one of the biggest mistakes he made as president. National Review: “Well, it’s on. Donald Trump ended his post-presidency […]

  • White Saviors

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 19th 2021 9:09am EST

    BlueBoxDave grasps why the suburban realignment to the Democrats is more of a huge opportunity for Republicans. The Federalist: “There is supposedly a schism in the Republican Party. You see it on TV, you read about it in the legacy conservative journals, and you see it discussed at length on social media. It isn’t real, […]

  • Poll: Big Tech’s Public Image Has Severely Deteriorated

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 18th 2021 6:35pm EST

    I’ve already stated my view of Big Tech. Destroying Big Tech is now our top public policy priority. The Hill: “Americans’ perceptions of big tech companies have steadily deteriorated over the past 18 months as titans like Facebook, Twitter and Amazon receive an avalanche of bipartisan criticism, according to a new poll. A new Gallup poll […]

  • The Conservative Case for a $15 Minimum Age

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 18th 2021 4:36pm EST

    I support the idea in spirit. I’m not sure if $15 is the right amount for every state in the country. The federal minimum wage needs to be raised though. The ideal should be to have a Universal Basic Income that puts a floor under the working class and a Universal Maximum Income which puts […]

  • Jacobin: The Politics of a Second Gilded Age

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 18th 2021 1:40pm EST

    This is an excellent article. I’ve been thinking along the same lines. There came a point when the parallels with the bitterness and emptiness of Gilded Age politics because so blindingly obvious that it became impossible to ignore. In the last two months, we have witnessed 1.) soaring support for wealth redistribution in the polls, […]

  • Neoliberal Joe Poised To Walk Into Immigration Disaster

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 18th 2021 11:18am EST

    I’m not worried about this. It has zero chance of passing a 50/50 Senate. The Trump base is also on fire right now: 65% want to reduce immigration, 62% want to deport illegal aliens, 89% want a federal E-Verify system and 86% want to build a wall. Anyone who votes for this in the House […]

  • Is It Time For The Republican Party To Split Apart?

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 18th 2021 9:33am EST

    It seems unnecessary to me. In 2016, this was the demographics of the National Review audience. True Conservatism was in a demographic death spiral when Trump was elected president.

  • Glenn Greenwald: The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 17th 2021 10:10pm EST

    We barely survived the QAnon Shaman and Baked Alaska’s attack on “our democracy.” The “insurrectionists” left the Capitol when asked to do so after walking around, snapping selfies and touring the building. One guy even lit up a joint. The whole thing was over in less than two hours. 1776 didn’t commence again. It was […]

  • Poll: Most Alabamians, Including Half of GOP, Support Medicaid Expansion

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 17th 2021 7:16pm EST

    There is no such thing as “Right Populism.” Right Populist voters are culturally conservative, economically moderate. Their cultural views absorb all the attention of the mainstream media, but these people are actually just populist voters. Al.com: “Most Alabama voters now support expanding Medicaid to cover low-income adults under the Affordable Care Act, including 50.6 percent […]
