Vox Vomitus.
Why do you post pure sh!t like this? Do you think it's a fun thing to do? I ask why?
I believe it was the Democrats that voted against Civil rights, owned slaves, started the KKK and treat NON white Americans as their pets, all the while keeping them in ghettos with corrupt school systems to keep them poor.
Last time I looked, politicians had to give voice to a message that tapped into the needs and the beliefs of people, even if that meant cobbling together a group of several factions based on culture, ideology, religion, race, etc. Democrats attempt to do it with their identity politics, and the behemoth they have built is rickety, hard to maintain and heavily dependent on being able to continue to succeed in selling their lies.
Republicans know what sells with the electorate, but they repeatedly sold goods that they would not deliver. The base figured it out and started sitting at home. All Trump did was pick up their message, turn up the volume, and started delivering using his unique skill set.
What has become completely clear to most intelligent voters is that career politicians and the malignant bureaucracy were running the government for their own personal benefit and ignoring the well being of the citizens and nation as a whole.
It is now clear that it is not rocket science to honestly run the government and provide for a healthy economic environment. It IS rocket science to do that, stuff your own pockets full of cash, keep your wealthy donors happy, and satisfy the citizens who you are really, really shafting.
Trump has yanked the clothes from the emperor and his family (the politicians, the bureaucrats and the MSM). Our anger and contempt is very real and beyond justified.
If I were a politician, a bureaucrat or a member of the media, I would be afraid of me and those like me. I, and those like me, may just snap one day. We all understand that, through your taxation and reprehensible spending, you have relegated our lives to being nothing more than a form of slavery. Yes, we are seething and simmering in our juices. It is in your self-interest to listen to us and, for a damned change, respond to our needs.
“shallow and vicious brand of white identity politics“
It’s not shallow. It’s kinda deep. And it’s not at all vicious.
Loving your own people is not hate, no matter how much David Frum, Bill Kristol, and Jennifer Rubin say it.
Another stupid premise that I stop reading within a few sentences.
Twitter makes people think that they are endlessly fascinating stars, so Seth Cotlar is now twittering about his family history, like anybody cares.
Cotlar's twitter feed is a very scattershot, stream of consciousness series of attacks on targets that really don't go together.
Bill Buckley and Dinesh D'Souza -- the same thing? Hardly.
One place he goes wrong is in considering Newt Gingrich as an intellectual's intellectual -- which he never really was.
Comparing Newt to Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or Charlie Schumer would be more appropriate -- and he might not come off longing that bad intellectually by comparison.
Another place he falters is in talking about the right's war with a "phantom left" and not considering that the same has often been true of the left's thinking about the right.
The enemy politically is always an exaggeration -- a phantom menace -- that people never really examine that closely.
I think Cotlar's probably right about David Frum, though -- not that Frum was responsible for Trump, but that there was never some golden age in which Frum was that great or deep or insightful.
President Trump is a reaction to both parties thwarting the will of the citizens to stop the illegal alien inundation.
In every election since the last amnesty the Bush League Republicans have made sure we could only vote for amnesty candidates.
Win or lose, the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) would continue to be implemented.
“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?”
NeverTrumpers internalizing their self proclaimed conservatism.
Navel gazing azholes.
1. Frum is a Bush speech writer and fall off the conservative hay bail long ago
2. Isn’t Vox the publication trying to justify MS-13?
