• Axios: Joe Biden Is Like FDR

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 1:24pm EDT

    I nearly fell out of my chair this morning when I saw this. Axios: “President Biden recently held an undisclosed East Room session with historians that included discussion of how big is too big — and how fast is too fast — to jam through once-in-a-lifetime historic changes to America. … Presidential historian Michael Beschloss told […]

  • Poll: Democrats Are Losing On Immigration

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 12:12pm EDT

    The Democrats have come up with a winning strategy for the 2022 midterms. The strategy is to allow the Mexican border to collapse so that Joe can become Angela Merkel in his first 100 days. Yahoo News: “Americans’ support for providing a pathway to citizenship has plummeted since President Joe Biden took office in January […]

  • Is There Still A Center?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 11:30am EDT

    I reject the term “far right.” Obviously, I consider myself a centrist, a moderate, an economic populist, a nationalist, a social conservative and an advocate of restraint and non-intervention in foreign policy. I’m an Independent voter. This is the perspective that I have always written from on this blog. New York Times: “Does Joe Biden’s […]

  • The Corporate Media Is Anti-White and Anti-Christian

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 9:59am EDT

    Rod Dreher makes a good point. TAC: “Here is what we are not seeing from the media: rash speculation about whether Islam drove him to murder, or whether Trump Derangement Syndrome had anything to do with this attack. All ten of Ahmad Alissa’s victims are white. We are seeing no speculation as to whether or […]

  • 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 […]

  • Politico: DHS Looking At Tracking Travel Of “Domestic Extremists”

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 23rd 2021 9:32pm EDT

    After allowing the Mexican border to collapse, Alejandro N. Mayorkas’s DHS is considering “monitoring the travel of domestic extremists” and “expanding its use of the No Fly List.” Politico: “The Department of Homeland Security is considering monitoring the travel of domestic extremists and expanding its use of the No Fly List, law enforcement sources told […]

  • Rising: Joe Biden Isn’t Bringing Us Social Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 23rd 2021 3:26pm EDT

    I’ve already shared my thoughts on this issue. From my perspective, it is specifically the race and culture war rhetoric of the Democrats that is the problem. In the last week, Joe Biden has alternated between selling his COVID relief bill while pushing the Democrat narrative that the Atlanta shooting was about “white supremacy,” presiding […]

  • Joe Biden Calls For Assault Weapons Ban After Mass Shooting In Boulder

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 23rd 2021 1:22pm EDT

    BIDEN: “We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again. I got that done when I was a senator. It passed, it was the law for the longest time and it brought down these mass killings. We should do it again.” pic.twitter.com/mhZ4ANbhT3 — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) March 23, 2021 BREAKING: The suspect […]

  • Five Thirty Eight: How Cancel Culture Became An Issue For Young Republicans

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 7:10pm EDT

    Vote Red. We’re not those people … the brats. We’re not the ones who will come after you and “get” you for saying the wrong word, asking questions or having politically incorrect thoughts, etc. This could be a winning message for Republicans especially with older moderate voters who don’t understand the religion of woke supremacy. […]

  • Poll: 76% Of Americans Say Border Surge Is A Crisis

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 5:56pm EDT

    The other 24% are libtards. In his first 100 days, Joe has become Angela Merkel in 2015 thanks to stupid slogans from progressive activists. He accomplished one thing and then this stepped all over it.

  • Hillary Clinton Speaks With Council On Foreign Relations

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 5:07pm EDT

    This is why Trump was elected president. It had nothing to with a vast Russian conspiracy. Hillary is really just that irritating. After eight years of Barack Obama, there were a lot of Democrats who just couldn’t stomach another neoliberal establishment president. Back in 2016, Trump at least sounded like he was challenging the status […]

  • Rising: Why Democrats and Republicans Hate Each Other And Why It Will Get Much Worse

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 3:55pm EDT

    I enjoyed this segment. I’m like the polar opposite of our woke progressive overlords. I suppose that you could say that I am a college-educated knowledge worker too, but unlike those people I prefer to work remotely and carry on the culture war from rural Alabama where my family has lived since the 1830s. You […]

  • Morning Joe: President Biden “Faces Challenges” At The Southern Border

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 11:46am EDT

    The real challenge is coming from within the Democratic Party. Progressive activists believe that stupid slogans like “Abolish ICE” and “Defund the Police” should become national policy. It was these people who dragged the rest of the Democratic Party to the Far Left on immigration and crime. As a result, the border is now predictably […]

  • How People Think You Stop Bigotry

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 9:48am EDT

    The best part is that those who diagnose others with “bigotry” have zero tolerance for anyone who disagrees with their own opinions and like to destroy the lives of other people for the sport of doing so.

  • Washington Post: Substack’s Controversy Bigger Story

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 12:59am EDT

    How big is the “far right” vote in 2021? The “far right” is now at least half of Trump voters. These people are also distinct from another 35% of Trump voters – the people who used to be the Republican base before the Trump presidency – who share the same view on political correctness/wokeness and […]

  • DHS Chief: Domestic Extremism Is “Single Greatest Terrorism-Related Threat” In America

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 21st 2021 6:51pm EDT

    The guy who has allowed the Mexican border to collapse to appease progressive activist groups who want to “Abolish ICE” was on ABC News this morning to explain that the single greatest terrorist threat facing the United States isn’t coming from the two million or so people heading toward our border. The real threat to […]

  • Why Culture War Is Supreme (And Will Intensify)

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 21st 2021 6:08pm EDT

    What is the most important issue facing the country? What is the thing that most determines who you are willing to vote for in elections? What is the most bitter grievance and resentment that animates the so-called “far right”? After examining all of these polls and studies, it occurred to me that I should ask […]

    I normally don’t watch any of this content. I don’t watch things like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes or Academy Awards. I don’t watch any of the late night comedy shows. There are people in this country who watch Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and SNL though and who actually think their content is […]

  • Why Democrats Without Reform Are Probably Doomed In The House

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 21st 2021 9:17am EDT

    David Shor has recently become the nerd that everyone in politics wants to talk to since he was crucified by his fellow progressives last summer for piping up and having the audacity to suggest that nationwide violent riots by woke brats would hurt the Democrats in the 2020 election. The clock is ticking for the […]

  • 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 […]

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 20th 2021 5:18pm EDT

    It is true that lots of us supported Andrew Yang. We supported Universal Basic Income before Bernie Sanders or anyone else in the Democratic Party. Huey Long supported Universal Basic Income during the Great Depression. It was part of his Share Our Wealth program along with Universal Maximum Income. Social Justice was also our idea […]
