  • TAC: The Right Kind Of Realignment

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 12:25pm EDT

    Jack “The Cucked Avenger” Hunter is back with a brand new essay at The American Conservative on the realignment of the electorate and the future of the Right. TAC: “Such an agenda would be similar to how former Republican congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul, who inspired a libertarian populist movement during the 2008 and […]

  • Dallas Morning News: America Needs A Strong, Compassionate Conservative Voice

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 28th 2021 12:49pm EDT

    Kenneth Hersh is the chief executive of the George W. Bush Presidential Center Dallas Morning News: “Freedom. Opportunity. Accountability. Compassion. It is time for the right side of the aisle to focus on timeless principles. As mortals, it is critical to understand our role is as mere custodians of these ideals. Men and women have […]

  • Poll: Record High Worry In U.S. About Hunger, Race Relations

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 3:13pm EDT

    Republicans lost control of the Senate because of that $600 stimulus check. They also lost control of the House because of Ryancare and the Trump tax cuts. Gallup: “WASHINGTON, D.C. — One year after the coronavirus pandemic upended Americans’ lives and caused an economic crisis, worry about hunger and homelessness in the country eclipses concerns […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Military Brass Has Gone Woke

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 9:22am EDT

    Why are these generals never fired for insubordination? Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the military? It seems like progressives are more interested in using the military against us than in fighting and winning wars against any foreign adversary. Note: As with corporate tax cuts for Amazon or more guest workers […]

  • Podcast: A Top GOP Pollster On Trump 2024, QAnon and What Republicans Really Want

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 9:21am EDT

    I covered that poll earlier this month when it was released. New York Times: “In the aftermath of the Capitol attack, the polling firm Echelon Insights decided to ask voters a simple question: Do they think the goal of politics is more about “enacting good public policy” or “ensuring the country’s survival as we know it?” […]

  • Poll: Republicans Believe They Experience More Discrimination Than Blacks These Days

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 25th 2021 12:11pm EDT

    I don’t see how anyone could believe otherwise. Newsweek: “Republicans feel conservatives face more discrimination than Black people do in America, according to a recent poll. In a The Economist/YouGov poll, respondents were presented with several groups and asked: “How much discrimination do the following people face in America today?” Conservatives was one of those and […]

  • Tucker Carlson Calls Out Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s Anti-White Racism

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 8:54pm EDT

    Tucker Carlson is delicately trying to uncuck the Republican Party. It took him a while to get to the point in his monologue tonight. He tossed the pitch to Matt Walsh who used the phrase “anti-white racism.” It is too bad the show doesn’t have a super chat feature because the audience wouldn’t have been […]

  • Poll: Republican Support For Gun Control Plummets After Atlanta and Boulder

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 5:14pm EDT

    I’m shocked. USA Today: “In the poll, taken in the wake of two mass shootings in the span of a week, 65% overall say gun laws should be stricter – a sizable majority but one that has fallen by 7 percentage points from a USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll taken in August 2019. The 54% support among Republicans two […]

  • Poll: FOX News Audience Leans Multiracial and Working Class

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 8:44am EDT

    This is interesting. As David Shor has explained, Whites are intensely polarized. Virtually all White libs are Democrats and virtually all White conservatives are Republicans. White moderates are cross-pressured. Blacks, Hispanics and Asians are also divided by values and ideology. There are black libs, black moderates and black conservatives. The difference is that non-White voters […]

  • NY Mag: George W. Bush Is Now Too Liberal For His Party

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 20th 2021 9:29pm EDT

    After the Bourbon Democrats were overthrown, conservatism never really recovered its former standing in the Democratic Party. NY Mag: “George W. Bush (who congratulated Joe Biden for his victory the very day the TV networks called the presidential race for him) emphatically rejected the idea that the 2020 election was “stolen,” said the January 6 Capitol […]

  • J.D. Vance For Ohio Senate?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 19th 2021 5:32pm EDT

    I’m familiar with J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance is the Hillbilly Elegy guy. J.D. Vance is or was more of a mainstream conservative. J.D. Vance has ties to Yoram Hazony’s “National Conservatism” clique. For all of these reasons, I am suspicious of J.D. Vance although it appears that the alternative in the upcoming Ohio Senate race […]

  • Niskanen Center: The Next Battle For American Democracy Is Around The Corner

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 19th 2021 1:11pm EDT

    We want to fight these people. If the GOP would get out of our way and let us fight them, it would be a win-win for both of us. Unfortunately, Conservatism, Inc. is hopelessly antiquated and out of touch and more so now than ever because the internal demographics of the Republican Party have shifted […]

  • Thwarting Jewish Conquest: Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together Part 6 of 6

    Counter Currents - Mar 19th 2021 6:15am EDT

    3,162 words Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, Part 4 here, Part 5 here Much of the tremendous value of Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together rests in how it was written completely without rancor. Only a highly cynical or unreasonable person could call it anti-Semitic — that is, a work that professes animosity or […]

  • National Review: Working-Class Reds

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 19th 2021 1:02am EDT

    Who are the Trumpists? National Review: “In the course of a few weeks early in the Biden administration, Republicans have been making a rapid shift in their agenda, message, and perhaps philosophy. Senator Mitt Romney (R., Utah) proposed an ambitious plan to send checks from the federal government to parents. With Senator Tom Cotton (R., […]

  • Why Conservatism, Inc. Failed

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 5:00pm EDT

    I now understand why Conservatism, Inc. failed. It failed because it selected far too many people like “political strategist” Tim Miller here. Conservatism, Inc. is drawn from people who are disproportionately White college-educated, upper middle class urbanites and suburbanites from Blue States who are professionals with modernist and cosmopolitan values. These people are also too […]

  • Nick Fuentes Is a Zoomer Paleocon

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 3:14pm EDT

    The Trump Revolution was not exclusively or even primarily about “economic populism,” it was about native American revanchism. Many who now claim the mantle of the Trump legacy focus solely on economics and ignore or condemn the identity/culture aspect entirely. — Nicholas J. Fuentes (@NickJFuentes) March 18, 2021 Remember that Donald Trump only grew more […]

  • The COVID Class War Heats Up

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 12:51pm EDT

    Michael Lind is always a delight to read. He is from Texas. He is an economic progressive. He also reflexively writes from a historical perspective like I do. This is a great take on what is going on with contemporary progressivism, the lockdowns which devastated the economy and the realignment of the two parties. Tablet […]

  • Karl Rove: People Don’t Even WANT $1,400 Checks!

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 7:52pm EDT

    LMAO. Who supports $1,400 checks? We know exactly who the Republicans are who support the $1,400 checks. It is the “Right Populists.” The people who are opposed to it the strongest are the Never Trump True Cons or Free Marketeers and to a somewhat lesser degree what used to be the old Republican base before […]

  • FOX News Is Trying To Win Back The Red Dogs

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 16th 2021 9:55am EDT

    This appears to be the strategy. I don’t think it is a bad strategy in light of what Joe is doing. FOX News is trying to appeal to Trumpists with political correctness/wokeness and immigration and Red Dogs with fiscal conservatism. There is enough there for both of these factions to be pissed off with the […]

  • The Rad Con Future

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 15th 2021 7:52pm EDT

    Here are my thoughts: In 2021, the Republican Party is two parties. It is the Trump Party and the Republican Party. Republican voters are split about 50/50 between people who identify more as traditional Republicans and Trump supporters. The strongest Republican voters are now the newcomers. Approximately half of the Republican Party is what I […]
