  • The Atlantic: How Manchin and Sinema Completed a Conservative Vision

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 18th 2022 10:28am EST

    “The question for Republicans is: why not make voting easier for your voters and everyone else’s?” “Do their explanations hold up under scrutiny?”@jayrosen_nyu urges the media to stop treating GOP restrictions on voting rights as beyond examination:https://t.co/VKYYVAYavZ — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) January 18, 2022 I don’t see it happening.

  • Joe Biden’s Economy

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2022 10:50pm EST

    WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? JOHN LEWIS OR GEORGE WALLACE? DEMOCRACY OR AUTOCRACY? Note: Is what has pissed off all the normies?

  • National Review: Did Republicans Pick The Right Time To Lose?

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2022 2:03pm EST

    It wasn’t blind luck, Charlie. The 5% had the foresight to anticipate what you couldn’t see which was that Trump and the GOP losing the 2020 election so narrowly and allowing Joe Biden to become president and thereby empowering the brats to “pull the pin on the grenade” would discredit progressivism for a generation. National […]

  • Kamala Harris Waits At Podium For Ten Minutes Before Giving MLK Day Speech

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2022 12:57pm EST

    Kamala Harris is the embodiment of affirmative action.

  • Joe Biden: “Whose Side Are You On?”

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2022 11:23am EST

    The choice is clear. Whose side are you on? You’re either with Joe Biden, John Lewis, MLK III, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Ibram X. Kendi and “democracy” or with George Wallace, Bull Connor, Jefferson Davis, Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, the Republican Party and all of the “domestic enemies” who oppose “our democracy.”

  • MLK III Reflects On His Father’s Fading Legacy

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2022 10:16am EST

    Today is MLK Day. It was also the deadline to pass voting rights reform. It turns out that this deadline has gone the way of Thanksgiving which was supposed to be the deadline to pass Build Back Better. Pramilya Jayapal looked Joe Manchin in the eye and got a guarantee that something would happen. Nothing […]

  • Poll Watch: U.S. Political Preferences Shifted Greatly During 2021

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2022 9:06am EST

    As Joe Lockhart lamented yesterday on Reliable Sources, a year of obsessive 1/6 coverage by East Coast elite journos has failed to return a “dividend” for Joe Biden and the Democrats. Instead, Americans have responded negatively to the incompetence, inflation and witch hunting that has been on such prominent display all year coming out of […]

  • Jonathan Capehart Explains Why He Is Worried About Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2022 4:09pm EST

    I highly recommend listening to that Counter-Currents podcast with Gregory Hood. The Orwellian phrase “our democracy” essentially means rule by libtards, technocrats, woke professionals, the shitlibs, coastal elites, the PMCs, etc. It means rule by this class of people who you see featured on television. Jake Tapper is Jewish. Brian Stelter is White. Jonathan Capehart […]

  • Brian Stelter: OAN Just Got Deplatformed By DirecTV

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2022 1:17pm EST

    CNN’s Brian Stelter says Trump’s rallies are “becoming a show of weakness” as his influence wanes. “When even Fox refuses to carry a Trump rally at the start of the midterm year, you know something’s going on. That’s not strength, that’s a weakness for the former president.” pic.twitter.com/1uMtUxR67a — Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) January 16, 2022 […]

  • Jake Tapper Reveals The Real Reason Trump Went To Arizona

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2022 12:51pm EST

    To sum up this fight: Democrats used COVID as an excuse to temporarily change election laws in key swing states before the 2020 election This happened well in advance of the election in plain sight Trump claims the 2020 election was stolen from him, which isn’t exactly true, but things like ballot harvesting and increased […]

  • Poll Watch: Joe Biden At Year One

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2022 11:06am EST

    BREAKING: We have a new poll out. We also know how much our friends in DC follow the polls. Americans weren’t impressed by Dementia Joe’s outburst in Georgia. CBS News:

  • Ruy Teixeira: The Democrats’ Voting Rights Chimera

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 15th 2022 12:41pm EST

    Top Democratic strategists are hostages of these people who are driving the clown car over the cliff. Substack: “The Democratic focus in the new year has been on trying to pass some version of voting rights reform. President Biden went down to Georgia and put the effort in stark terms: “Do you want to be […]

  • Martin Luther King III: Sinema ‘Siding With Legacy Of Bull Connor’

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2022 5:53pm EST

    Speaking of inflation … Huffington Post: “Martin Luther King III blasted Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) after her Thursday speech announcing that she wouldn’t support changes to Senate rules to pass Democrats’ major voting rights bills, accusing the Arizona lawmaker of “siding with the legacy” of prominent segregationists and white supremacists over that of his father, the late civil […]

  • Mehdi Hasan: Is It Game Over For American Democracy?

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2022 3:23pm EST

    Sadly, yes. It is game over man. We’re an “anocracy” now. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin have murdered American democracy. They are standing with the likes of Ben Sasse and Mitt Romney and Bull Connor, George Wallace and Jefferson Davis.

  • Most Politically Engaged Americans Are Also The Most Ideologically Extreme

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2022 1:57pm EST

    This is pretty much what I saying in the previous post. If you have a blue check on Twitter and you are tweeting more than two or three times a day about the imminent death of “democracy,” chances are you are the extremist who is living in a bubble. Your views are probably much further […]

  • SH!TPOST: Rejecting The Bystander Effect In American Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2022 12:44pm EST

    I disagree with Jared Holt’s latest article on the SH!TPOST this morning. SH!TPOST: “I worry about whether the United States political system is experiencing a type of bystander effect. The term is typically invoked in medical and psychological fields to describe why individuals are so less likely to assist others while part of a crowd. (In […]

  • Oathcucks Hit With Seditious Conspiracy Charges Over 1/6

    Fortunately, we learned our lesson and got off the Trump Train years before we ended up like these guys.

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 13th 2022 4:30pm EST

  • Secular Talk: FDR Speech Exposes Rot Of Today’s Democrats

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2022 6:10pm EST

    I happen to like some people who are liberals who I feature all the time here. Kyle, for example, is a good communicator who seems like an intelligent, informed and normal person. The PMCs, shitlibs and other assorted Brahmin Left weirdos in his camp though repulse millions of working class people like a magnet who […]

  • Harry Enten: Why Republicans Aren’t Likely To Lose Any Senate Seats In 2022

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2022 3:23pm EST

    Harry Enten has become like the undertaker of false hope in 2021 and 2022. CNN: “(CNN) Wisconsin’s Republican Sen. Ron Johnson announced he was running for reelection on Sunday. That should be viewed as good news by Republicans, who need a net gain of just one seat in this year’s midterm elections to wrestle Senate control […]

  • Thomas Edsall: The Gender Gap Is Taking Us To Unexpected Places

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2022 1:16pm EST

    As we approach Civil War 2 on the East Coast, this would appear to be relevant. The Democrats are the party of the White minority and specifically the college-educated, professional class White woman whose daughters in the Acela Corridor will doubtlessly half to be drafted and sent into the warzone against the most heavily armed […]

  • Fareed Zakaria: The Narrow Path To Liberal Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2022 12:34pm EST

    I actually agree with something Fareed Zakaria says here. Twitter is a glorified chat room. No one watches cable television. It is political junkies who dominate both and who live in bubbles. The rise of Dump makes sense in this carnival landscape. Mainstream politics is fake and mostly performance art. The policies are sold to […]

  • Tucker Carlson: “Defending Our Democracy”

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2022 11:35am EST

    Good monologue. If you oppose giving the ruling class in Washington total control over state and local elections and allowing Democrats to permanently use the same bag of tricks that they used in 2020 on the basis of COVID being a national emergency, well, you are an enemy of democracy and basically a domestic terrorist […]
