The Second New Deal: FDR Turns Populist to Stop the Rise of Huey Long
Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 10:00am ESTHuey Long was the populist that progressives like to pretend FDR was as president. Even to this day, they run on watered down versions of his ideas.

Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 9:06am ESTNew from me: @MorningConsult has polled 28 executive actions issued by @POTUS since Jan. 20.

The Trump Coalition Is Still Intact
Occidental Dissent - Feb 9th 2021 11:47am ESTShortly 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 […]
AP Poll: Few Americans Say Democracy Is Working
Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 10:34pm ESTI had a good laugh watching the show tonight. AP: “WASHINGTON (AP) — Only a fragment of Americans believe democracy is thriving in the U.S., even as broad majorities agree that representative government is one of the country’s bedrock principles, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Just 16% […]
Neoliberal Joe Begins To Retreat On Economic Promises
Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 5:46pm ESTWho could have ever predicted that? How did you just know that the issues where Joe Biden would disappoint his base would be the $2,000 stimulus checks, the $15 minimum wage, free college and the $50,000 of student loan debt relief and Universal Health Care? How did you know that he would come out of […]
The Bellows: Technopopulism and the Online Class War
Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 4:42pm ESTThe front page article on TAC last night was a plea from Rick Santorum for conservatives not use state power to crackdown on Big Tech. The Bellows: “The events of recent months contain many lessons for popular political movements in the future. In the age of COVID-19, much of American politics has migrated from “real […]
The Week: The Realignment That Wasn’t
Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 1:45pm ESTI’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 ESTTried 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 ESTIf 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 […]
Democrats Considering Lowering Eligibility Of $1,400 Checks
Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2021 9:50pm ESTUnbelievable. There are some Dems who want to lower the income eligibility for direct payments from $75,000 to $50,000 for individuals, and $150,000 to $100,000 for couples. In other words, working class people who got checks from Trump would not get them from Biden. Brilliant!— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) February 7, 2021 It is absurd that […]

Jesse Ventura Calls For Huey Long’s Wealth Cap
Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2021 11:53am ESTJesse Ventura’s epic rant against billionaires:“There shouldn’t be ONE billionaire… The older I get, the more flaws I see in capitalism, and the more good things I see in socialism.”–@GovJVentura pic.twitter.com/Sdst8uUJH2— The Vanguard (@vanguard_pod) January 31, 2021 Huey Long best clips 4/13 pic.twitter.com/4c3JpylAdv— Queenfish Sadie Long (@MrsHueyLong) January 19, 2021 Huey Long best clips 5/13 […]
Sen. Ben Sasse: Message To Nebraska GOP State Central Committee
Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2021 10:54am ESTDonald 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 […]
The YouGov Survey Is Wild
Occidental Dissent - Feb 6th 2021 2:12pm ESTEditor’s Note: This is a YouGov survey of Trump voters from January. Republicans who didn’t vote for Trump are not included in the poll. You got to take a look at this. If not “White Nationalism” which I would define as racial separatism and advocation of an ethnostate, then something like “White Populism” is very […]
Huey Long: Evangeline Speech
Occidental Dissent - Feb 6th 2021 11:45am ESTWhy are we reviving interest in Huey Long? Donald Trump was the first demagogue to be elected president. American history is full of colorful demagogues though especially in the South. Trump basically maintained the status quo and made his supporters feel patriotic while feeding them a diet of empty performance art and conspiracies to keep […]
PMC Hysteria
Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 8:40pm ESTSo 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 ESTI 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 […]
President Biden Lays Out His American Rescue Plan
Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 3:43pm ESTI’m on board with this. President Biden is giving us our money. Washington Post: “President Biden promised to get more relief to Americans quickly to help people survive financially until the pandemic is under control. A key part of Biden’s proposal is to send another round of cash payments directly to U.S. households. Some economists, […]
AEI: Donald Trump and the Future of the GOP
Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2021 1:02pm ESTThis 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 […]
