  • Biden Justice Department Continues To Persecute Julian Assange

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 13th 2021 10:14am EST

    Donald Trump wasn’t any better on this front. Instead of pardoning Julian Assange and his own supporters like the QAnon Shaman and Baked Alaska who got themselves in trouble for his sake, Trump pardoned Kwame Kilpatrick, Lil Wayne and Kodak Black and a bunch of other scummy people with connections to Jared Kushner. New York […]

  • 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 […]

  • GOP Exodus

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2021 5:32pm EST

    The good news keeps rolling in. New York Times: “In the days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the phone lines and websites of local election officials across the country were jumping: Tens of thousands of Republicans were calling or logging on to switch their party affiliations. In California, more than 33,000 registered […]

  • The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Has Embraced Neoliberal Joe

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2021 1:06pm EST

    Good riddance. This is a huge win for Republicans. Politico: “Washington’s most powerful trade group is having a political identity crisis. Over the past month, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has taken a series of steps that have enraged its traditional Republican allies. It applauded much of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion plan to Covid […]

  • TAC: Conservatives Need A Pro-Family Agenda Beyond Tax Credits

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2021 10:21am EST

    Thumbs up. TAC: “All of these pushes faced strong political headwinds from self-proclaimed conservative gatekeepers at the time. But the post-Trump landscape is opening up new possibilities for ideas once thought heterodox. The recent introduction of Senator Mitt Romney’s “Family Security Act”—which would provide a universal child allowance for all families, regardless of income—was an […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Oligarchs Want To Shut Down FOX News

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2021 9:25am EST

    Fascinating comments about Fox News just now from Fox CO Lachlan Murdoch: “We believe that where we are targeted, to the center-right, is where we should be targeted. We don’t believe we should go further right… and absolutely we won’t go to the left.”— Alex Weprin (@alexweprin) February 9, 2021 There is only so far […]

  • 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 […]

  • The Next Huey Long

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2021 11:09am EST

    “Populist Left” is an oxymoron. If you are a Leftist you are an instrument and an ally of the regime.— Nicholas J. Fuentes (@NickJFuentes) February 11, 2021 “Working-age mortality rates have increased in 48 states since 2010. The Rust Belt and Appalachia have seen some of the most dramatic increases in death rates for Americans, […]

  • Reuters: Dozens of Former Republican Officials In Talks To Form True Cons Third Party

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2021 12:22am EST

    This is fantastic news. It is the best news since that poll came out which showed 64% of Trump voters now believe that their race is very, extremely or somewhat important to their identity. Reuters: “(Reuters) – Dozens of former Republican officials, who view the party as unwilling to stand up to former President Donald […]

  • House Impeachment Manager Chokes Up Recounting Capitol Siege

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 6:44pm EST

    Impeachment manager / actor Madeleine Dean’s weepy voice-quivering comes across as particularly calculated— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) February 10, 2021 Because the “emoting” is always ultimately a power play, even if unconsciously. It’s intended to place primacy on their “experience” for the purpose of demanding compensation, whether it be via cultural cache or various political outcomeshttps://t.co/G91MPEZ179— […]

  • Globalist Joe Imposes Sanctions On Myanmar

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 5:47pm EST

    I would love to see a poll on this issue. How many Joe Biden voters can find Myanmar on a map? I’m among the 3% of the population who knows the answer. I don’t give a shit about what is going on there. It is none of my concern.

  • GOP Eyes Working Class Future

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 5:02pm EST

    I used to laugh at the idea of a multiracial, working class, populist Republican Party. I thought there is no way that something like that could work. I’m not so sure now though. Axios: “Republicans, long reliant on big business and the rich, see a post-Trump future centered on working class white, Hispanic and Black […]

  • Poll: Trump Voters Control The GOP

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 2:24pm EST

    Donald Trump is gone. Trump voters are a different story. VOX: “A new poll hints at one potential reason so many Republican lawmakers remain wary of distancing themselves from former President Donald Trump and seem reluctant to convict him in the Senate’s impeachment trial: There’s a real possibility they’d endanger their electoral prospects. In a […]

  • The Second New Deal: FDR Turns Populist to Stop the Rise of Huey Long

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 10th 2021 10:00am EST

    Huey 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 EST

    New from me: @MorningConsult has polled 28 executive actions issued by @POTUS since Jan. 20.

  • 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.

  • 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 […]

  • Neoliberal Joe Begins To Retreat On Economic Promises

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2021 5:46pm EST

    Who 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 […]
