  • Jacobin: Republicans and Industrial Policy After Trump

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 15th 2020 2:58pm EST

    It didn’t come as a surprise to White populists when Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. I predicted the outcome and gave the following reasons on this website well over a year ago: Donald Trump Loses The 2020 Election “If I had to bet on the outcome of the 2020 election, I would predict that […]

  • TAC: What Happened

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 14th 2020 1:21pm EST

    LISTEN HERE. Along with Eric Striker, I keep tabs on the TAC podcast, particularly when populist issues are discussed. In this episode, Arthur Bloom, Oren Cass, Rachel Bovard and Ross Douthat discuss what went wrong with the Trump presidency or basically how it lost its populist veneer. SPOILER: what went wrong is that populist voters […]

  • Nick Fuentes: Stop The Steal Is Largely Run By Grifters

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 13th 2020 7:49pm EST

    H/T Autismo I agree with Nick Fuentes. Is he referring to Ali Alexander? Back in 2016, Ali was trying to steal the delegates for Ted Cruz. Nick is lucky that he wasn’t allowed on stage with the rest of the cranks and grifters at the Jericho March. It struck me as less of a Trump […]

  • The Working Class Party Myth

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 13th 2020 5:53pm EST

    There were a lot of surprises in 2020, but I’d put the vastly reduced salience of immigration in this election v. ’18 and ’20 on the list. Immigration wasn’t even mentioned in the first debate, and the exit poll didn’t bother to ask about it, either— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) December 13, 2020 George Hawley and […]

  • The Jericho March

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 12th 2020 7:31pm EST

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Rod Dreher live tweeted the whole event. There’s some large guy onstage at the DC rally named “Shofar So Great” (https://t.co/rB4DIPCf1r) claiming to be an Orthodox Jew who says his rabbi in Israel gave him permission to break Shabbat to support Donald Trump and blow the shofar […]

  • Jacobin: The Siren Song of “Pro-Worker” Conservatism

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 11th 2020 1:27pm EST

    Interesting article. Basically, I agree that the ideal of a pro-White, pro-Western, pro-working class National Populist version of conservatism taking root in the Republican Party is a mirage. Jacobin: “There’s a new, increasingly assertive, tendency on the Right. These conservatives are not rabid free marketeers, hawkish neocons, or religious fundamentalists. They hate Beltway elitism and […]

  • Conservatives Debate The Post-Trump Future

    Charles C.W. Cooke, the editor of National Review, speaks for the Free Marketeers and defends Zombie Conservatism. Newsweek: “For a “dead” consensus, traditional conservative fusionism sure looks healthy, doesn’t it? I can only hope that, when my time comes, I look as fresh in the grave.

  • Why Conservative Populism Failed

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 9th 2020 1:01pm EST

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Strange.Why isn’t there an essay on social identity issues? After all, this is the axis that unites GOP voters and which is the common ground between populists and conservatives. My guess is that being so cucked on race is a sensitive subject with conservatives https://t.co/ohQ3SH4gUu— Hunter Wallace […]

  • Trump’s Populist Record

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 8th 2020 11:10am EST

    Even this is painting an overly rosy picture of Trump’s populist record. TAC: “Although Joe Biden advertised himself as a “transitional candidate” during the 2020 campaign, Donald Trump will probably be remembered as the transitional president. The issues his 2016 campaign raised, such as deindustrialization and competition with China, will continue to shape policy for […]

    Jonathon von Maren seems to have left out a few important things.

It is hard to tell who speaks for the president and who doesn’t these days, […]

    LMAO. I strongly disagree with this study. CSPI Center: “During the Trump presidency, some of the most interesting and innovative thinking on the center right has come from writers and politicians sometimes called “national populists.” This group challenges Republican orthodoxy on questions of economics and suggests that a new policy agenda, focused more on working-class […]

    Occidental Dissent - Dec 2nd 2020 3:38pm EST

    If Donald Trump had succeeded in moving the ball on nationalist and populist issues, we wouldn’t have been so bitterly disappointed with his presidency. Instead, he sold out to the Republican donor class and continued Zombie Reaganism, which he had been given a mandate to break with. National Review: “Since the Trump revolution, there has […]
