Importantly, if he's even half right, what can be done about it?
Sadly, he is right.
If we had elected Trump in 1988 instead of GHW Bush we might have had a chance to keep our country.
We are already at least 30 million people down the road to becoming North Mexico.
I was hoping strong enforcement could reverse it.
The bitter, long-term truth. Demography is destiny.
Very favorable reviews, here and at the source.
Certainly worrisome but defeatism will only hasten I’ll keep fighting and voting. We got rid of some major losers in the senate and house. Trump ain’t quitting. I won’t either.
Mr Duke, as far as I can tell from his prior postings in Sept 2016, wasn't a fan of Trump (though he was pretty anti-Hillary). So, to me, he is suspect from the get-go. To be fair, his analysis of why Trump won was generally good. Alas, in the span of two years when lots of good things have happened (so many that Laz had to stop sending out updates), Selwyn appears to have taken the statists' bait and drunk copiously from the vat of Despair kool-aid and gone straight to surrender/guerrilla warfare. It is stunning...I wonder how this guy survived 8 years of Obama without moving into a bunker.
Yes...it was a crushing midterm election in the House. There are lots of bad signs from fraud, to losses that - prescinding from fraud - should have been wins. Antifa, the muscle wing of the DNC, camped out in front of Tucker Carlson's home. The Dems get to pick a Speaker and perhaps Ms Ocasio-Cortez may be help take back the three chambers of government.
And yet, we picked up a few Senate seats. There remains strong support for Trump - and its in-line with Obama at the 2 year point - and the #WalkAway movement, while it didn't crystallize into votes, remains vibrant. But this guy wants to pack it in, because we couldn't change a generation of cultural rot in 24 months? MAMA Mia!
On the time-series analysis of aging/dying convsevatives and fresh voting Millenials...Mr Duke seems to have forgotten that the rest of the nation aged as well. Thus, middle aged people who were mildly centrist in 2016 are more conservative in 2020. And they're probably pissed at what they see in the nation. Finally, for what it's worth, if Selwyn emerged from his safe room every now and then, he'd find that a YUGE number of Millenials aren't pod-eating snowflakes.
The core of Mr Duke's surrender is that there are lots of immigrants and 'other people' that he thinks can't be converted to liberty. I also think he doesn't want to get his hands dirty with actual work. Trump won by only 60,000 votes...we need to win over people...ya can't do that with a blog, Mr Duke and your tribal mindset guarantees us losing the nation.
The lucky thing for those of us who WANT a larger group of MAGA-loving citizens is that there ARE many people on the margins who are sick of being used and lied to. #WalkAway was one manifestation of it. The HARD WORK required to actually WIN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS is the only obstacle. It wasn't enough for the Betamax to be superior to VHS...you have to get out from behind your keyboard and meet Acutal Other People.
I've said it many, many times. I get it: maybe some people chafe at the thought of engaging with minorities, immigrants, gays, Millenials etc. And yes, some men, you can't reach. But I would rather have the likes of Peter Thiel, Candace Owens, Diamonds & Silk, and Ben Carson at my barbecue than Paul Ryan, Willard, Jeb! and George Will. The former would more likely fight NOW while the latter would surrender now and hope we win on a Hail Mary pass.
We have been entrusted with a republic - if we can keep it. Yes, the Germans have bombed Pearl Harbor but we are still alive. We have two years to reverse course and keep this train moving. Or we can give up and blog like this jack wagon.

The entirety of the rule of man on Earth is past the tipping point.
The “kingdoms of men” will cease in 6 very short years, as Yehova pours out his 10 days of bowl judgements on a very deserving populice.
What did you expect?
To be honest, I had much the same thought upon Obama’s reelection. At the time, the best I thought we could possibly hope for even as an alternative would be a Bush-McCain-Romney-type . . . marginally better. Then all of the sudden we got Trump! So you never know what’s going to happen next, might as well keep fightin’!
Peaceful revolution, which is all - at the most - Trump ever intended (if that), rarely succeeds. The other kind often fail as well, particularly when the government commands a military and police complex as technologically advanced and massive as the government class will control here. And don’t think the military or the police will, in large part, fail to follow the orders of their fascist/communist paymasters...their mortgages and pensions depend on them following orders.
This is why I’ve long felt that if dissolution comes it will be difficult and most likely to look like resistance movements such as in France in WW2 - where the fight will be fought by an underground, hidden resistance.
Unfortunately the author nailed it, as this article is right on the money. As I have mentioned many times in the past to my friends, the only way for the public to change directions would be some form of social upheaval, causing people to realize what they stand to lose, or probably already have. A couple other options would be a wide spread destructive war or a natural disaster of biblical proportion causing the people who are left once again to work together. Even so president Trump being the great president that he is and as hard as he may try, he is no more than a stop on the road leading into the abyss of socialism which eventually will devour everything what slides into it. Without exceptions it has done so in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
We are in a cold civil war between the World of Man vs. the World of God, between the Blue half of tyranny and the Red half of ordered liberty, between the half that puts nerve endings paramount vs. the half that puts truth first, between the half that uses hate to enslave vs. the half that loves and has constraints, between the half of horror with utopia vs. the half that knows human nature and the Creator, between the Borg vs. those who will not submit.
We should assume this civil war goes hot because in the end, it is far better to courageously fight and destroy our enemy and secure ordered liberty for half of the USA than to settle for the 1000 years of darkness for all of the USA as Reagan warned.
Trust me. This war cannot be avoided. You can see it like a tsunami way out coming in and we can’t avoid it.
Great empires/civilizations eventually break up and fall and the USA is no different because those empires were humans.
I’d rather we started preparing now for when this goes hot, because the alternative is to wait and let the Blue Left absorb what is left into the collective so to speak.
There is still roughly half this country that would be excited to keep to our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Why not commence early steps towards what could be a peaceful divorce, but prepare for the worst?
It’s coming and ignoring it would be like Jews in Germany ignoring Hitler and not getting out in time before the darkness fell.
It’s time to seriously get the discussion going all over the country to split the country in a peaceful fashion but fight relentlessly for freedom if it can’t be peaceful.
I read the whole thing and can’t argue with what he says.
Solution? As he says....MAMA. But it is going to take a long time and it will be a completely different, not as good America..
In 1963, the Society for Human Abortion was established in San Francisco.
Ten years later, the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion and in turn the termination of pregnancy had become the most frequently performed operation on adults in the United States.
Soon, 1 out of every 3 American women were ending the life of their unborn babies. America led the world, but the world soon followed to the tune of hundreds of millions of innocent lives ended in their mother’s womb, worldwide.
If this practice doesn’t anger the Almighty into bringing judgment upon this land, and this world, and restoring rightousnes, then evil has won and we are living in hell.

On dissolution:
If the Left takes over, they will not allow dissolution; they will think Lincoln gave them the authority to wage tyrannical war against all separatists.
If Trumpism somehow continues after 2024, with the likes of Pence and/or Rand Paul, California and New England will want to secede. As long as we develop a technological border wall with them, and can negotiate a fair financial process, they can go. The timeline: in the 2030s or 2040s, a USA in the heartland, surrounded by a series of socialist coastal city-state hell-holes.
Can’t argue against the article
And anybody who believes the rational that the election wasn’t really a Blue Wave is living in a fools paradise
