The Washington Post: Can Democrats Be The Party of PMCs and Blue Collar Workers?
Occidental Dissent - Jan 11th 2022 3:18pm ESTThe Democratic Party is shaped like an hourglass. It is an unstable top-bottom coalition of White college educated PMCs and multiracial working class voters. I have been saying for over a year now that we ought to focus on fire on the PMCs. Washington Post: “Professionals and managers are trending left. Blue-collar workers are not. […]
Breaking Points: Dems Flee Congress As Polls Show Armageddon For Biden
Occidental Dissent - Jan 11th 2022 1:37pm ESTWhat should you do in 2022? Everyone knows the ship is sinking. You should probably stay home and watch and laugh. Better yet, you might want to run for office and ride the wave of backlash politics. This is an unprecedented opportunity to win a state or local office.
Former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe Compares Trump Voters To Terrorists
Occidental Dissent - Jan 11th 2022 12:42pm ESTIt is their democracy. No one else who lives here are citizens with constitutional rights. They are dangerous “domestic extremists” whose existence poses an existential national security threat.
Tucker Carlson: This Is Collective Punishment
Occidental Dissent - Jan 10th 2022 9:58pm ESTI’m on Team Tucker. I happen to think this is great for us. I’m old enough to remember when “journalists” and the “watchdog organizations” like the ADL and SPLC could get people purged from mainstream conservatism for talking about these issues. As the recent interview with Ted Cruz showed, Tucker is now too big and […]
Pew Research Center: Americans At End of Ideological Spectrum Are The Most Active In National Politics
Occidental Dissent - Jan 10th 2022 10:13am ESTI spend a large amount of time these days watching, studying and mocking all of these hysterical idiots in the Acela Corridor who are on Twitter. It was “1/6” last Thursday in their bubble and “our democracy” was teetering on the brink of collapse. Civil War 2 was about to break out. Anyway, we all […]
David French: A Nation of Christians Is Not Necessarily a Christian Nation
Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2022 7:44pm ESTHere’s a challenging reality: America has become more just (and thus closer to the ideals one expects of a Christian nation) as white Protestant power has waned. Thoughts on America as a “Christian nation” and misplaced longing for a misremembered past. https://t.co/YIY6ERNYxK — David French (@DavidAFrench) January 9, 2022 Virtually everyone sees it now. I […]
David Blight: Trump Has Birthed a Dangerous New Lost Cause Myth. We Must Fight It
Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2022 5:34pm ESTHere we go again. The Guardian: “American democracy is in peril and nearly everyone paying attention is trying to find the best way to say so. Should we in the intellectual classes position our warnings in satire, in jeremiads, in social scientific data, in historical analogy, in philosophical wisdom we glean from so many who […]

Jake Tapper Calls Out Eric Adams
Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2022 4:15pm ESTNo matter how you slice it or try to explain it, the fact of the matter is having non citizens voting in U.S. elections doesn’t make one bit of sense. Even CNN’s Jake Tapper couldn’t get the NYC Mayor to make sense of this dangerous legislation. pic.twitter.com/YslRhVYNtT — PARIS (@PARISDENNARD) January 9, 2022 I LOL’d. […]
Ezra Klein: Steve Bannon Is Onto Something
Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2022 2:50pm ESTEzra Klein thinks Sloppy Steve has the right strategy. For once, I agree that Steve Bannon is pointing us in the right direction. The libs are going to get owned in the 2022 midterms in what is sure to be a wave of pure kneejerk backlash politics. The polls also show that the taboos have […]
The Washington Post: Democracy Is On The Brink Of Disaster. For Voters, It’s Politics As Usual
Occidental Dissent - Jan 9th 2022 10:57am ESTAs much as I enjoy ridiculing “our democracy” which is poised to die at any minute from the triumph of “authoritarianism” and literal “fascism” at the polls, I am honestly enjoying the ride. When I look at these people, I see a distinct social class with professional class jobs that lives in metro areas on […]
Joe Biden’s Disapproval Rating Hits All-time High
Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2022 3:02pm ESTI feel like it is 1/6 all over again. This is a five alarm fire for “our democracy.” Democrats need to break the glass. “Authoritarianism” is sweeping the nation. This is voter suppression!
1/6 Coverage Flopped
Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2022 12:05pm ESTFor a peculiar type of sanctimonious American who have college degrees and professional class jobs and who are libtards who live back East and who have the “moral clarity” to stand in the breach with Joe Biden against “the dagger aimed at the throat of democracy,” Thursday was “1/6.” Newsbusters: “According to a Fox News […]
MSNBC: Trump Victim Act Follows Authoritarian Playbook Drawing In Fanatical Supporters
Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2022 10:20am ESTI’m noticing a pattern here. Lives in New York City in Acela Corridor Lives near the Atlantic coast Professor at New York University Female Half Jewish PhD in comparative history PMC This is who is unironically watching this content and absorbing it too. The people who are the most radicalized and detached from reality and […]
Tucker Carlson: What Happened To NPR?
Occidental Dissent - Jan 7th 2022 10:04pm ESTI approve of this. This is exactly who I said we should be focusing on. As they say on MSNBC, this is “who we are.” They are the woke professional class. They are coastal libtards with graduate degrees who live in the Acela Corridor. They are the PMCs or the Brahmin Left. That’s who is […]
The Washington Post: The Rise of a Pro-Democracy Media
Occidental Dissent - Jan 7th 2022 11:07am ESTPerry Bacon, Jr. is clearly excited about this. “Journalists” are rising to the occasion to defend “our democracy.” They are finally showing the “moral clarity” to reject “both sides-ism.” This could work! The Washington Post: “America’s news media is increasingly covering the growing radicalism of the Republican Party and its democracy-eroding behavior. That’s a welcome […]
Rachel Maddow: The Caning of Charles Sumner
Occidental Dissent - Jan 7th 2022 9:09am ESTEditor’s Note: It seems to be Civil War 2 week in the liberal media. Excellent monologue from Rachel Maddow! Here is what Preston Brooks said to Charles Sumner before walloping that insufferable, sanctimonious Yankee bastard on the floor of Congress in 1856: “Mr. Sumner, I have read your speech twice over carefully. It is a […]
Politico: 1/6 Didn’t Set Off a Wave of Rightwing Terrorism
Occidental Dissent - Jan 6th 2022 4:27pm ESTI spent all of 2021 on this website describing what was actually going on. The combination of COVID, the George Floyd riots, the heady embrace of Ibram X. Kendism and systematic racism, Dump losing the 2020 election and the Biden presidency was the tipping point. Politico: “One year out from the Capitol insurrection of Jan. 6, […]
Jake Tapper’s Plea To Republicans
Occidental Dissent - Jan 6th 2022 12:47pm ESTWe’re begging you. The Constitution is an antiquated relic of “white supremacy.” Please bail us out. The survival of “our democracy” depends on packing the courts and getting rid of the filibuster, the Senate, the Electoral College and the Bill of Rights!
Politico: We Are In a New Civil War … About What Exactly?
Occidental Dissent - Jan 6th 2022 10:57am ESTIt doesn’t look all that mysterious to me. The most bitter divide is within White America. It is cultural, not economic. It is a rural vs. urban geographic division. The rift also opened up and has been steadily widening since the 1920s. It is rooted in the rise of the professional managerial class and their […]
Joe Biden’s 1/6 Speech
Occidental Dissent - Jan 6th 2022 9:42am ESTYawns. The Preacher-in-Chief who otherwise appears to have nothing else to do these days is giving a longwinded, sanctimonious speech about 1/6.

She has an important new article up about “domestic extremism” in the New York Times and was on MSNBC this afternoon with Chuck Todd to talk about it. Do you know who is the best qualified person to stop the rise of “domestic extremism” in the United States? I’m going […]
Politico: Republicans Are Moving Rapidly To Cement Minority Rule. Blame The Constitution
Occidental Dissent - Jan 5th 2022 11:38am ESTThis is a beautiful illustration of what I said earlier this morning. If you tried, could you have written a more sanctimonious, hypocritical or hysterical headline than this one in Politico magazine? It turns out that redistricting is looking like a wash for both parties. Democrats have gerrymandered as aggressively as Republicans in states like […]
Thomas Edsall: The Law of Unintended Political Consequences Strikes Again
Occidental Dissent - Jan 5th 2022 10:19am ESTVery insightful new column from Thomas Edsall. At the apex of the Democratic Party, you have the oligarchs who are like royalty in the party. These are people like Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, Bill Gates, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg and so forth. The donor class is generally far to the left of the median Democratic […]
Michael Anton: Blue America’s Messaging Problem
Occidental Dissent - Jan 5th 2022 9:16am ESTMichael Anton has a good new article this morning. As a close observer, I have come up with a short list of qualities that I associate with the coastal shitlibs or PMCs who run the Democratic Party who I read, watch and study on a daily basis: Sanctimony Hypocrisy Self-righteousness Self-absorption Ruthlessness Hysteria Read Dana […]
