  • Joe Biden’s Inaugural Address

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 20th 2021 12:49pm EST

    I was willing to give Joe Biden a chance. After four years of the Trump Show, I was determined to keep an open mind and hear the man out, but my expectations were always low. Joe Biden has always been a corporate neoliberal Democrat. There was a small chance that he would govern as a […]

  • Republicans Split On COVID-19 Relief Package

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 19th 2021 8:56pm EST

    In a nutshell, this poll explains why Trump was a failed president, why the Republican Party lost control of both the White House and Congress and why the attempt to rebrand as the “party of the multiracial, multiethnic working class” is running into such strong headwinds. The Republicans are represented by a bunch of old […]

  • What We Have Just Experienced

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 19th 2021 4:15pm EST

    Imagine Biden voters, mouthpieces for establishment lies about the stolen election, & cheerleaders for the doxing & arrest of Capitol protesters becoming influential voices in post-Trumpian populism. No, I can’t imagine it either.— Counter-Currents (@NewRightAmerica) January 18, 2021 Soooooo, are they releasing the Kraken yet… pic.twitter.com/0i35C2ZQn0— Gr???????????ymond the Gr????????????????????????y (@TheGreymond) January 19, 2021 Less than […]

  • Joe Biden’s Top Priorities

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 18th 2021 11:56am EST

    The overwhelming majority of the American people continue to say in the polls that they want Joe Biden to focus on containing the spread of COVID-19, distributing the vaccine as soon as possible, passing a more substantial COVID relief package and rebuilding the economy. They are also scared and angry and worried about polarization and […]

  • Michael Brendan Dougherty: Trumpism After Trump

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 18th 2021 11:23am EST

    Michael Brendan Dougherty has a new article on the “Trumpism After Trump” or “Trumpism Without Trump” debate that has been going on within the mainstream Right which is trying to figure out a way to hold on to Donald Trump’s voters in order to sustain conservatism. National Review: “Will Trumpism survive President Donald Trump? For […]

  • Jacobin: Far Right Intellectuals Are Offering Workers a Rotten Deal

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 17th 2021 1:25pm EST

    Editor’s Note: I don’t know what “Far Right” even means. I think it means being White and being with fine with that. Donald Trump is done. Steve Bannon was done years ago and had been reduced to hosting a now defunct YouTube show while serving as Miles Guo’s butler. The Alt-Right splintered almost four years […]

  • Should The Republican Senate Convict Trump?

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2021 8:56pm EST

    Should the Republican Senate vote with Democrats to convict Blumpf? New York Times: “What McConnell has before him, then, is an opportunity to exert agency, to wield power, that is entirely unique to early 2021, and will be long gone by 2024. There is no guarantee that using it will work, but at a moment […]

  • Thomas Frank on Populism

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2021 8:01pm EST

    NEW KK&F:Thomas Frank talks about whether the GOP can survive and the danger of elites consolidating behind the supposed “party of the people.” Thomas is one of the biggest influences for both @KyleKulinski and me so this was incredible. https://t.co/btjsi3rzCv— Krystal Ball (@krystalball) January 16, 2021 None of this is news to me.

  • Donald Trump Leaves Office With His Lowest Ever Approval Rating

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2021 12:28pm EST

    pic.twitter.com/fMgmZPA1i0— The Daily Grifter (@DailyGrifter) January 12, 2021 We went through the Trump hangover in 2017. As recently as last week, millions of his followers still hadn’t accepted that the Trump Show was over and that he had lost the election. The worst is yet to come for the MAGA grassroots who set themselves on […]

  • FT: Even Richard Spencer Thinks The Right Has Gone Too Far

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 16th 2021 11:36am EST

    I can already hear it now. This is Richard Spencer being a “contrarian.” It is just another “hot take.” He is a libtard or racist liberal who voted for Joe Biden. That’s how it will be dismissed and waved away. FT: “I take Soufan’s view seriously. But I wanted to hear from someone on the […]

  • Ann Coulter: Most Disloyal Man In History Finally Finds a Cause Worth Fighting For

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2021 2:13pm EST

    This is great. For obvious reasons, Ann Coulter hates Trump more than I do. Breitbart: “Why, in the last 12 days of his presidency, did Donald Trump suddenly become the authoritarian of liberal fantasies? He sure wasn’t an authoritarian for the past four years — he was a spineless wonder. When it came to the […]

  • How Populism Got Such a Bad Name w/ Thomas Frank

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2021 1:24pm EST

    The answer is modernism. BTW, the Grift Right is doing an excellent job living up to the anti-populist stereotype of violent, reactionary, paranoid, anti-intellectual cranks and conspiratards. This is why I have criticized them for years and despise them with the burning hatred of a thousand suns. What has four years of Q prophecies and […]

  • Caleb Maupin on Huey Long

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2021 12:16pm EST

    If we could find a candidate who could fill the Huey Long lane in American politics (a true populist who is a moderate wealth redistributionist who is palatable to social conservatives and doesn’t take polarizing stands on culture war issues), he would win in a landslide in 2024.

  • Politico: Joe Biden’s Plan To Avoid Midterm Losses

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 13th 2021 3:31pm EST

    Until the Capitol Siege, I was optimistic that the next two years might not be a total waste and another polarizing shitshow of grandstanding and performance art politics. I thought that with a narrow Democratic majority in Congress that we might get some things like the $2,000 stimulus checks, the repeal of the Trump tax […]

  • Tucker Carlson Dumps Trump

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2021 10:38am EST

    Tucker Carlson deserves credit for not indulging the fraud narrative which was created solely to protect Trump’s brand, to retain control over his cult and the Republican Party and to grift off of his most deluded supporters. Fortunately, it appears that the Donald Trump show is finally over now. Note: Everything that Tucker says about […]

  • Trump Grifters Abandon Ship

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 8th 2021 9:37am EST

    To be honest, I’m relieved. I did not look forward to the next four years of watching Trump’s personality cult sop up & waste the inevitable populist backlash to Biden. Cutting his followers loose clears the way for more effective populist leaders to emerge. https://t.co/co3XbcjSCZ— Counter-Currents (@NewRightAmerica) January 8, 2021 This is good. We need […]

  • Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff Win Georgia Senate Races

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 6th 2021 10:46am EST

    Who could have predicted that? Who could have ever saw that one coming? The behavior of Turtle and the Republican Senate has been so awful since the 2020 election that even I was pushed off the fence into outright endorsing Ossoff and Warnock and making the case that a populist agenda stood a better chance […]
