  • Reports of the GOP Demise Are Greatly Exaggerated

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 15th 2021 9:55am EST

    There’s a lot in this piece about why GOP senators may have voted to save Trump. (I do think folks underestimate the possibility that many senators are fine with him.) Whatever the cause: This is Trump’s party, & he’s the 2024 GOP frontrunner for now https://t.co/32EhIeFnga— (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) February 14, 2021 Lotta talk of […]

  • Donal Tron Figured Out How To Win Latinx Voters

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 14th 2021 6:05pm EST

    How can the Republican Party win Latinx voters? It is as simple as changing their antiquated ideology and messaging. Reason: “If Hispanics swung for former President Donald Trump in some states and against him in others in the 2020 election, is there such a thing as a generic Latino vote? Among the most unorthodox answers—which […]

  • Trump Acquitted

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 13th 2021 5:42pm EST

    What exactly was accomplished by this charade? It was never realistically going to happen. It was performance art politics and a complete waste of time. It inflamed and unified Trump’s base. It confirmed Trump’s control over the Republican Party. It stepped all over Joe’s first 100 days by dragging out the Trump Show. It increased […]

  • CNBC Poll: Republicans Want Trump To Remain Head of the Party

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 13th 2021 9:28am EST

    The party of Jeff Flake is dead as a doornail. CNBC: “A CNBC survey conducted in the days before former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial finds a large share of Republicans want him to remain head of their party, but a majority of Americans want him out of politics. The CNBC All-America Economic Survey shows 54% of Americans […]

  • The GOP Should Start Acting Like a Working Class Party

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2021 2:56pm EST

    This is also my take. There has been a dramatic resorting of the electorate. Some White working class Independents and Democrats are now Republicans. Meanwhile, some suburban Republicans have now gone over to the Democrats. The PMC ratio in the Republican Party isn’t what it used to be. The voters have changed. The rhetoric and […]

  • Neoliberal Joe Ends Border National Emergency

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2021 1:24pm EST

    Joe is already off to a great start doubling down on all of the mistakes of Barack Obama’s second term that sent MAGA voters fleeing into Donald Trump’s arms. Politico: “President Joe Biden on Thursday formally terminated former President Donald Trump’s two-year-old declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, calling the order by […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • Politico: Trump Pollster Campaign Autopsy Paints Damning Picture Of Defeat

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2021 12:32pm EST

    Wow! Who saw that coming, besides EVERYONE?“The autopsy says that Trump saw the ‘greatest erosion with white voters, particularly white men.’” https://t.co/y7c4vGmrWt— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 2, 2021 This is old news. We covered it and spelled it out at length way back in November. The truth about Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • An Open Letter to Trump Supporters

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 20th 2021 4:15pm EST

    Donald Trump is gone. No storm broke. No reckoning came. There was no plan. In his place, a career politician assumed the presidency. Joe Bidenmuttered some platitudes. Most people have already forgotten them, probably including Joe Biden. We’re told the inauguration was historic and dramatic. It was banal and boring. It celebrated mediocrity. It had about […]

  • Donald Trump’s Final Pardon List

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 20th 2021 9:04am EST

    According to Andrew Anglin, we should be focused right now on remembering Donald Trump as a LEGEND. He was a SYMBOL of something. Steve Bannon who was charged with defrauding Trump supporters in a private attempt to build the wall. The rapper Lil Wayne who was facing a gun charge. The rapper Kodak Black who […]

  • 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.” […]

    Imagine Biden voters, mouthpieces for establishment lies about the stolen election, & cheerleaders for the doxing & arrest of Capitol protesters becoming influential voices in post-Trumpian populism.

  • Donald Trump’s Last Day In Office

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 19th 2021 1:12am EST

    Far-right simpletons: If we deny that what happened at the Capitol on January 6 was a riot and insist that it was a peaceful protest, no one will get into trouble.Reality: People are being arrested as we speak.

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 18th 2021 11:23am EST

    Michael Brendan Dougherty has a new article on the “Trumpism After Trump” or “Trumpism Without Trump” debate that has been going on within the mainstream Right which is trying to figure out a way to hold on to Donald Trump’s voters in order to sustain conservatism. National Review: “Will Trumpism survive President Donald Trump? For […]

  • FT: Even Richard Spencer Thinks The Right Has Gone Too Far

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2021 11:36am EST

    I can already hear it now. This is Richard Spencer being a “contrarian.” It is just another “hot take.” He is a libtard or racist liberal who voted for Joe Biden. That’s how it will be dismissed and waved away. FT: “I take Soufan’s view seriously. But I wanted to hear from someone on the […]
