  • 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. […]

  • 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 […]

  • White Supremacist Attacks Elderly Asian Man On New York City Subway

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 22nd 2021 10:35am EDT

    As Woke Joe said in Atlanta, our silence is our complicity. Thus, we should all be talking about this anti-Asian hate crime. There is a wave of anti-Asian violence going on around the country. Daily Mail: “A 68-year-old man Asian man has been violently assaulted on the New York City subway by an assailant shouting racial insults, […]

  • 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 […]

  • Stephen Colbert: Trump’s Racist Rhetoric Led Directly To Hate Crimes Against The AAPI Community

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 21st 2021 9:59am EDT

    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 […]

  • Politico Smears Andrew Yang

    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 […]

  • The Week: Beware The Lonely, Angry Men

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 19th 2021 3:19pm EDT

    Damon Linker’s has a new take on the Atlanta shooting that focuses on the real issue it has revealed instead of the contrived “white supremacy” narrative. The Week: “We have so many mass shootings in this country, and so much gun violence in general, that those who come to a sweeping conclusion on the basis […]

  • NY Mag: Is ‘Anti-Wokeness’ the New Ideology of the Republican Party?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 19th 2021 10:33am EDT

    The GOP would be wise to listen to us. We need three things from them. We need them to stand firm on immigration, block the Joe Biden amnesties and focus like a laser on the border crisis. We need them to find a way to uncensor the internet. We need them to decriminalize whiteness by […]

  • House Passes Violence Against Women Act and Gun Control

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 8:35pm EDT

    Even though it mostly sucks, Democrats push their agenda. Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats don’t waste any time doing awful shit. Joe signed something like 50 executive orders in 10 days. Violence Against Women Act: Gun Control: In order for any of this to pass the Senate, the bar is either 1.) getting 10 Republican […]

  • House Passes Amnesties For DREAMers and Farmworkers

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 8:21pm EDT

    Why are you so focused on the culture war? The Democrats are focused on economic populism now. That’s why House Democrats have passed HR 1, the Equality Act, the Violence Against Women Act, gun control legislation and now two amnesties. In addition, Joe has signed executive orders on woke, trans, climate change and open borders […]

  • The Hill: The Democrats Bid To Reclaim Economic Populism

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 7:31pm EDT

    These two things are mutually exclusive. Populism and wokeness are mortal enemies. They are irreconcilable. The Hill: “With the passage of President Biden’s coronavirus relief bill, Democrats are setting out to reclaim their populist birthright. And, they hope, reverse their losses among white working-class voters. The new law is being called “transformational” for a reason. It […]

  • Woke Supremacy Reigns Supreme At Teen Vogue

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 18th 2021 6:44pm EDT

    The staff of Teen Vogue successfully blocked an extremely well qualified Black woman from becoming its next editor in chief over tweets from when she was a teen that she apologized for years ago. https://t.co/0tpA4wuQro — Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) March 18, 2021 You’re laughing. The brats have cost a young woman of color her job. […]

  • Liberal Larry: Time To Rid The Country of the ULTIMATE Symbol of Racism

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 17th 2021 3:19pm EDT

    Larry makes a good point. The “White House” is the ultimate symbol of white supremacy. It is offensive to BIPOC people. It ought to be renamed the Black House and reparations should be paid to Black people.

  • Democrats Can’t Duck The Culture War

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 17th 2021 9:36am EDT

    Thomas Edsall thinks that Joe Biden and the Democrats can somehow duck the culture war now after intentionally dialing it up a thousand notches over the past four years. New York Times: “The Biden administration appears to have adopted a two-pronged strategy to reduce the corrosive impact of hot-button social, cultural and racial issues: first […]

  • John Oliver Destroys Tucker Carlson

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 15th 2021 2:19pm EDT

    LMAO. I don’t know. I think Tucker Carlson won this one. John Oliver only appeals to a certain kind of politically correct White liberal urban professional. I’ve been writing a lot more about these people. Tucker has started calling them woke professionals. It didn’t occur to me that … oh yeah, John Oliver is the […]

  • Stacey Abrams: Republicans Are Our “Domestic Enemies”

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 14th 2021 3:04pm EDT

    This seems a little … extreme. Note: I don’t see how election integrity laws does anything to stop True Cons voters in the Atlanta suburbs from voting for Democrats.
