  • Donald Trump’s Second Impeachment Trial

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 9th 2021 9:22pm EST

    2nd acquittal coming … all the rest is just laughable, embarrassing Kabuki theater.— Catturd (@catturd2) February 9, 2021 The political/media system is once again consumed with debating the personal conduct of Trump. As with any chemical dependency, withdrawal is really hard and sometimes you go backward— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) February 9, 2021 “They could have […]

  • The Trump Coalition Is Still Intact

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 9th 2021 11:47am EST

    Shortly after the 2020 election, Ann Coulter gave a speech about Donald Trump that hit the nail on the head. She was also viciously attacked by the personality cultists for pointing out the obvious flaws of his leadership and how we wouldn’t reap the benefits of his legacy until he was gone. Breitbart: “The reason […]

  • The Week: The Realignment That Wasn’t

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 1:45pm EST

    I’ve concluded there was a realignment. The 2016 election fundamentally changed the Republican Party. The composition of the Republican base looks different now. The Trump voters came into the Republican Party in 2016 and knocked other people out of the party and the process continued in the 2020 election. The establishment wing of the party […]

  • Chris Hayes: The Republican Party Is Radicalizing Against Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 11:45am EST

    Tried to order my thoughts on where things stand politically right now. My basic takeaway: the entire ideological basis of post Reagan conservatism has crumbled. It’s left the GOP with no real coherent program other than retaining power at all costs. https://t.co/INIHV8X87t— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) February 8, 2021 I enjoyed this article. It helped me […]

  • Smash Big Tech

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 1:16am EST

    If you are still under the delusion that you can bargain with Big Tech or that the free market will fix this problem, I don’t know what to say to you. Your autistic ideology has been discredited. TAC: “I want to put an end to cancel culture like every other freedom-loving American, but I certainly […]

  • White Populism Is The Future Of The GOP

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2021 4:07pm EST

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. .@Liz_Cheney: Donald Trump “does not have a role as a leader of our party going forward…We should not be embracing the former president.” pic.twitter.com/c0M7iFkfO4— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) February 7, 2021 Well, this one went off the rails a bit — okay, a lot — but in a […]

  • Sen. Ben Sasse: Message To Nebraska GOP State Central Committee

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2021 10:54am EST

    Donald Trump isn’t the president anymore. What effect is that having on his voters though? Are they becoming more radical with him gone? In my view, Trump was always a soothing influence on them. They literally “trusted the plan” and went to sleep for four years. It is obviously the Democrats and the media who […]

  • PMC Hysteria

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 8:40pm EST

    So many targets. Now that Donald Trump is gone, what is there to fight about? Personally, I didn’t think he was doing a good job, but he is no longer the president. Joe is the president. PBS: “As Republicans adjust to their diminished stature in Washington, they have been consumed by infighting over the party’s […]

  • Donald Trump’s Own Pollster Reveals Why He Lost

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 6:14pm EST

    I feel like a load has been dropped. In my view, Donald Trump was simply the material that was available that a rising tide of populism latched onto in the 2016 election. It wasn’t the man himself who brought all of those people into the GOP. It was the message that he ran on which […]

  • AEI: Donald Trump and the Future of the GOP

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 1:02pm EST

    This is excellent. I feel vindicated by this survey. Donald Trump won in 2016 by running as a moderate, a populist and a nationalist and away from “True Conservatism.” He won by leaning into the disaffected Center which is the reason why he electrified the Alt-Right. The so-called “far right” was the big block of […]

  • House Votes To Remove Marjorie Taylor Greene From Committee Assignments

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 4th 2021 7:37pm EST

    Glorious. pic.twitter.com/BGIZGeRBUQ— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) February 4, 2021 In 2018, Rep Greene approvingly shared a white supremacist video claiming that “an unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists and Zionist supremacists has schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation, with the deliberate aim of breeding us out of existence in our own homelands”— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) February 4, […]

  • Mitt Romney Proposes $350 Monthly Payments For Children

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 4th 2021 1:46pm EST

    What is happening? Who reprogrammed Mitt Romney? Why does Mitt Romney suddenly want to give us money? Does Mitt know something that we don’t know about the politics of wealth redistribution? Forbes: “If Mitt Romney’s new plan becomes law, you may get up to $350 cash each month for every child that you have. Here’s […]

  • Washington Examiner: Donald Trump Voters Are Domestic Terrorists

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 7:06pm EST

    There is an “enemy within.” I don’t think it is the QAnon Shaman or Baked F**king Alaska though. It is hysterical people who live in a bubble, who are drunk on power and who talk like this about American citizens. Washington Examiner: “First, bring the heaviest felony charges possible on as many participants in the […]

  • GOP Proposes $1,000 Stimulus Checks

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 1:03pm EST

    Apparently, the Republican Senate still hasn’t learned its lesson. CNBC: “The next stimulus checks could be smaller than $1,400 and reach fewer people if a new plan put forward by some Republican senators is approved. The new proposal from a group of 10 GOP lawmakers calls for $1,000 checks per person, rather than the $1,400 sum […]

  • Donald Trump Wins Impeachment Battle

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 27th 2021 9:32am EST

    As should have been clear by his rapid recovery in the polls, there aren’t anywhere close to enough Republican votes in the Senate to convict Donald Trump. As with Charlottesville, a bad new cycle wasn’t the end of the world and was quickly overshadowed by Neoliberal Joe’s culture war agenda. Politico: “For a moment, it […]

  • Sen. Josh Hawley: It’s Time To Stand Up Against The Muzzling of America

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 25th 2021 8:56am EST

    I agree with Sen. Josh Hawley on standing up to Big Tech. I’ve been blacklisted from countless Big Tech platforms – PayPal, Stripe, and Google Pay, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube – including those that I never used because of my populist political beliefs. I was banned from YouTube which I only used to watch history […]

  • Why McConnell Dumped Trump

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 24th 2021 10:05am EST

    I’m of two minds on impeaching Trump a second time. The New Yorker: “For four years, McConnell and others in the establishment wing of the Republican Party embraced the conceit that they could temper Trump’s behavior, exploit his popularity, and ignore the racist, violent, and corrupt forces he unleashed. Ornstein observed that McConnell, in a […]

  • The Dead Consensus Is Even Deader

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 22nd 2021 2:24pm EST

    Who is more delusional? Is it the QAnon crowd or the Reaganite dead enders? National Review: “Trump exposed the dead consensus and rot within the Republican Party, opening the door for a new, more populist GOP.” It’s the mantra of a certain kind of conservative, and their favorite piece of evidence is the following scatterplot […]

  • Joseph Cotto Slams Longism

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 20th 2021 10:38pm EST

    I love this speech because Huey drunk off his ass ranting to the crowd is just so relatable pic.twitter.com/EBdSUpf2Qr— Queenfish Sadie Long (@MrsHueyLong) January 19, 2021 The anti-commerce, pro-big government, anti-individualism, anti-wealth building so-called populist right, which prefers Huey Long to Donald Trump, is one of the cringeworthiest things I have ever laid eyes on.

  • Republicans Split On COVID-19 Relief Package

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 19th 2021 8:56pm EST

    In a nutshell, this poll explains why Trump was a failed president, why the Republican Party lost control of both the White House and Congress and why the attempt to rebrand as the “party of the multiracial, multiethnic working class” is running into such strong headwinds. The Republicans are represented by a bunch of old […]

  • Punished Blumpf’s Farewell Address

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 19th 2021 6:25pm EST

    Here are a few of his most memorable lines: “All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.” “We reignited America’s job creation and achieved record-low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women — almost everyone.” […]

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 19th 2021 4:15pm EST
