  • Republican Leadership Cucks Out On “America First Caucus”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 18th 2021 12:02am EDT

    Editor’s Note: In light of the ongoing debate over the allegedly ominous lessons of Jim Crow and voter suppression, I have uploaded “Jim Eagle” himself as our new banner. “Pitchfork” Ben Tillman wasn’t politically correct. He never backed down from a fight. Sadly, there aren’t any of his kind in Congress these days. They don’t […]

  • George W. Bush: We Need To Increase Legal Immigration and Pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 16th 2021 10:47am EDT

    I know it feels at times like we aren’t making any progress. It is easy to get frustrated and depressed, to exaggerate the strength of our opposition and the imbeciles in Der Movement and to conclude that all is lost and that “there is no political solution.” George W. Bush has a penned a new […]

  • Can the Libertarian Party Become a Popular Vanguard?

    Counter Currents - Apr 14th 2021 6:45am EDT

    3,437 words Could it be time for an alternative to the two-party system? For anyone who hasn’t yet got the memo, it’s time to stop holding out hope for the Republican Party. As conservatives, they couldn’t even conserve the women’s bathroom. Worse, they’ve failed to do anything about population replacement migration; even though they should know very […]

  • Podcast: The Post-Trump GOP

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 11th 2021 10:34am EDT

    LISTEN HERE In sum, we are monitoring some interesting trends going on among Republican and Independent voters and the realignment of the electorate, BUT whether this will translate into any meaningful policy changes among elected officials at least in the immediate future is a different story. My view is that we have already entered a […]

  • Levi Strauss & Co. CEO: Election Integrity Laws Are Racist

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 5:19pm EDT

    Listen up. Chip Bergh is the boss. He doesn’t support a 28% corporate tax rate. Your royal highness also calls the shots around here, not elected governors, state legislatures, city governments or voters. Levi Strauss & Co. are willing to pay their fair share though. Donald Trump’s major legislative accomplishment was cutting the corporate tax […]

  • New York Times: How a Defeated Trump Is Making a Muddle of the GOP

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 3:20pm EDT

    Just follow our lead. We will spell it out and make it super duper easy for them. We’re heading back to a populist and nationalist vs. progressive alignment in American politics like we had with Jackson in the antebellum era or the Bryan era during the early 20th century. This is what the Biden administration […]

  • Max Boot: What Does The GOP Even Stand For?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 2:39pm EDT

    Talking on @Morning_Joe about my @PostOpinions column: “The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans.” (https://t.co/uMK8qEwNaD) I compare the Biden Republicans to the Reagan Democrats of the 1980s and suggest they could transform politics. pic.twitter.com/lydFqXBXpn — Max Boot (@MaxBoot) April 8, 2021 I’m a populist and nationalist voter. I’ve never been […]

  • Tucker Carlson Interviews Gov. Asa Hutchinson

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 9:17pm EDT

    Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you … True Conservatism. We can’t stop children in Arkansas from getting permanent gender reassignment surgery based on fashionable nonsense which has been spread on websites like Tumblr over the last decade. This would be a bridge too far and a violation of our “limited government” principles. A few […]

  • The Atlantic: Woke Capital Doesn’t Exist

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 6:38pm EDT

    Don’t believe your lying eyes. You are imagining that woke progressive activists have hijacked Corporate America and have been using HR departments to enforce a cultural and political orthodoxy and the concentrated economic power of these corporations as a weapon to force their unpopular cultural views on recalcitrant state governments. There is actually no bullying […]

  • Rising: How Trump Fleeced His Own Supporters Out Of Hundreds Of Millions

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 5th 2021 5:25pm EDT

    I tried to warn you. I told you to stay away from the Grift Right. In the 2020 election, I would get like a dozen texts a day from the Trump campaign asking for money. It became a running joke on this website. The texts didn’t stop coming until after the Stop the Steal rally […]

  • New York Times: Inside Corporate America’s Frantic Response to the Georgia Voting Law

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 5th 2021 9:42am EDT

    I’m enjoying this dynamic. Progressive activists who are 8% of the American population are forcing multinational corporations to take polarizing stands on controversial social issues. They can’t do this without alienating populist and conservative voters and creating a backlash that pushes people in our direction. New York Times: “On March 11, Delta Air Lines dedicated […]

  • Harry Enten: Why Republicans Can Claim To Be The Party Of The White Working Class

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 9:01pm EDT

    Unfortunately, they aren’t acting like it. Conservatism, Inc. and the Republican policy agenda hasn’t caught up yet with the reality of who Republican voters are these days. The GOP establishment wing of suburban moderates has been reduced to a disaffected rump. PMCs are no longer equally split between the two parties. CNN: “(CNN) – Iowa […]

  • Rising: How Trump Fleeced Supporters For Millions On Election Fraud

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 4th 2021 4:28pm EDT

    I’m not the biggest fan of Donald Trump. I got so much grief for this stance in the Trump years. I smelled a rat even before he was sworn in as president when he started making big moves like appointing Gary Cohn as his chief economic adviser. Throughout the whole Trump era, I was extremely […]

  • Donald Trump: Boycott Major League Baseball

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 3rd 2021 11:48am EDT

    I’m just laughing at this. It has gotten to the point where baseball is polarizing. FOX News: “Former President Donald Trump fired a high, hard fastball at Major League Baseball on Friday night, urging fans to boycott the “national pastime” over its decision to pull this year’s All-Star Game from the Atlanta area. Trump asserted that MLB’s leadership was […]

  • Rising: Oren Cass Reveals The Truth Behind Wall Street’s Claim That They Add Value To The American Economy

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 2:37pm EDT

    Oren Cass was on Rising this morning to share the findings of a recent American Compass study which showed that the Republicans are now the Democrats.

  • Charlie Sykes: Yes, Cancel Stephen Miller

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 1:46pm EDT

    As Thomas Frank predicted, the Democrats have finally become the party of the wealthy and the self-righteous suburban professionals. The Bulwark: “Reasonable people can disagree about the metrics of redemption for Trump era collaborators, enablers, and rationalizers. How long did they stay? Are they willing to speak out now? How much damage did they do? […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Joe Biden Raises Your Taxes While He Dodges His Own

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 1st 2021 9:37pm EDT

    I got to say … I winced. Eric Levitz of all people makes a good point. New York Magazine: “Donald Trump believes that tailoring U.S. tax policy to the preferences of the American people — rather than to those of multinational corporations and their lobbyists — constitutes a “globalist betrayal” of the United States and […]

  • Thomas Frank Predicted This

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 1st 2021 4:12pm EDT

    Interesting. Years ago, I bought and read Thomas Frank’s book What’s The Matter With Kansas? when it came out in the 2000s when George W. Bush was president. I agreed with Frank’s critique of mainstream conservatism. Just read what I wrote about the Trump presidency for four years. It is basically the same idea. I […]

  • Rising: The Matt Gaetz Gossip

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 4:59pm EDT

    I’ve never had any interest in Matt Gaetz. I think this episode is highlighting a big cultural disconnect though. Even if the allegation is true that Matt Gaetz dated a 17-year-old woman, the idea that this is a scandal, but the celebration of homosexuality, gender fluidity and transgenderism is not scandalous and that people in […]

  • Paul Krugman: Why Can’t Republicans Be Populists?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 3:12pm EDT

    Paul Krugman is right. The GOP is held back by its antiquated economic policy agenda. New York Times: “President Biden’s American Rescue Plan is incredibly popular, even among Republican voters. We don’t have details yet on the next big Democratic initiative, but we can expect it to poll well, because we know that it will […]

  • House GOP Memo: Cementing GOP As The Working Class Party

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 10:45am EDT

    Well, I must say this is an interesting development. Axios: “On a flight Tuesday from Indianapolis to Fort Wayne, Ind., two leaders in the House Republican conference discussed a memo that argues that their party’s future demands they “embrace our new coalition” because “President Trump’s gift didn’t come with a receipt.” Why it matters: The document, titled “Cementing […]

  • Making Lions out of Lambs: A Response to Max Morton of American Greatness

    Counter Currents - Mar 31st 2021 6:45am EDT

    1,671 words Two kinds of conservatives constitute the mainstream Right: those who take conservatism seriously as a political creed, and those who are merely conservative liberals, or, as the Z-Man once called them, the rearguard of the Left. The latter, as we all know, may as well be the enemy of the Right and deserve […]

  • Secular Talk: Republicans Lose It Over Lil Nas X Satan Shoes
