More GOP Perfidy

And other news.

Be enraged at this.

If Trump loses, his brand of politics will continue in some form within the Republican party. However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel, or at least a path to democratic redemption that begins in 2020: the pace of America’s demographic shift is likely to compel reform within the Republican Party. Michael Gerson, a Washington Post columnist and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, recently highlighted that:

It is absurd to talk about white grievance politics as the wave of the political future. Republicans are now determining if the 2016 presidential election was the last time this message worked, or the second-to-last time. The stakes are high between those two possibilities. But the direction of American society toward greater diversity is not in doubt.

It is frustrating that no one ever confronts mendacious scum like Gerson about this issue to ask – why do you take your White base for granted?  Is there some sort of law of the universe that obligates White Americans to vote Republican forever and ever, without any need for Republicans to actually defend the interests of those White voters?  Guess what Gerson – Whites are not obligated to vote Republican. 

There is no “Newton’s Fourth Law of Motion” – “for every election there is an automatic White base reaction so that those Whites mindlessly vote Republican.” I understand that mainstream Republicans have such contempt for Whites that they view White voters as akin to trained monkeys, akin to Pavlov’s dogs, reacting to an “R” next to a candidate’s name by reflexive voting for that candidate.  But the natives are getting restless, as the 2015-2016 Presidential election cycle made very clear.

If the GOP starts the Neocon flim-flam again, enough Whites may decide not to vote, or vote third party, so as to ensure that the GOP becomes increasing unelectable at the national – and in many cases, state (Senator, Governor) - level.  Given how tight many elections are at the national and state levels, the defection of even a significant fraction of the White base will be devastating to the GOP.  Bogeyman games of “we need to stop the liberal Democrats” will wear thin as it becomes increasingly clear that there is not a dime’s worth of difference between “liberal Democrats” and Establishment Republicans on the issues that really matter to the base.  At some point, White voters will demand that the GOP earns their votes; at some point, they will tire of being taken for granted. At some point, the degenerating racial situation in America will become so bad – as it is rapidly becoming now – that White identity politics will become more, not less, salient.

The Republicans can then attempt to out-pander the Democrats for non-White votes to try and make up for the shortfall in lost White voters, but that’ll do nothing but prompt even more Whites to abandon the GOP, hastening the process of political decline in a run-away positive feedback loop. The reality is that the GOP is really in a demographic-political bind – but it is one they themselves created (see below).

Now, the idea of scum like Gerson may be that “White voters have nowhere else to go” and the GOP has previously been successful in hoodwinking and exploiting those voters for decades.  However, the rise of Trumpism – what trash like Gerson laments – was precisely because these White voters had become frustrated and disgusted by constant Republican betrayals – including by the likes of the leftist George W. Bush. True enough, they were betrayed by Trump as well, but it is going to be increasingly difficult to get the political toothpaste back in the tube. Having tasted right-wing populism – even in its bastardized and fraudulent Trumpian form – certain elements of the White base are not going to be satisfied being herded back into the Neocon reservation.

Then there’s the other side of the issue – the fact that the GOP has been betraying its White base on the immigration issue for decades is precisely the reason that this demographic-political situation exists in the first place.  We really need to focus attention on the GOP's hypocritical mendacity here.  First, when a solid, large White electoral majority existed, and was responsible for electing Republicans, the GOP ignored the immigration restrictionist inclinations of those voters in order to pander to big business and minority interests. Then, after decades of mass alien immigration shifted the demographics, and is eliminating the White electoral majority, the Republicans then point to that demographic shift – a shift they themselves promoted and enabled – as justification for continued contemptuous ignoring of the White base, the previous betrayal of which cause the shift to begin with.

Finally, how is it “democratic redemption” to ignore the wishes of your voters and be complicit in “electing a new people” through mass immigration? How is it “reform” to return to an approach where a major political party completely disregards the interests and desires of its largest and heretofore most dependable voting bloc?

Well, well, well…

Washington has banned certain Chinese graduate students and researchers from entering the US to supposedly protect “sensitive” research from being “appropriated” by Beijing, as relations between the two nations continue to sour.

Adding to mounting tensions, the US has once again accused China of attempts to get its hands on America’s state-of-the-art technologies and innovations, including coronavirus research, as it continued its crackdown on students and academics who it says might be linked to the Chinese Army.

“We are blocking visas for certain Chinese graduate students and researchers with ties to China’s military fusion strategy to prevent them from stealing and otherwise appropriating sensitive research,” the acting head of the US Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf said on Wednesday. He added that China is “abusing” US student visas to “exploit” American academia.

Copy, copy, copy, steal, steal, steal.

And then see this.  Having the words “Chinese” and “corrupted” in the same sentence is sort of superfluous, no?

Hey!  I though dem Greeks were all ethnocentric collectivists?  HBD-Nordicists weep.
