“If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic Party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the Republican Party, because we just give more opportunity to folks who are hard-working people who are immigrants and come from members of minority groups.”

Ironically, this quote will prove to be Dean’s most prescient political contribution in the long term.

By 2025, your average white American will be broke, enduring a 40% tax rate (if they’re lucky enough to have a job) and living in a country they don’t recognize. When that happens, they’re going to take to the GOP like fish to water. The only white Democrats left will be the likes of Sean Penn, Bill Ayers, and John Kerry.

And mind you: I’m not saying this with any sort of relish. I actually think it forbodes dark times for our country and Western Civilization. It is, in fact, one of the key dangers I see in the rampant overreach of the Left: that is, it leaves open the possibility of a popular resurgence of the Far Right. By refusing to distinguish REAL threats (Islam, Russia, etc.) from IMAGINARY ones (Christians, Republicans), the Left is leaving the West extremely vulnerable. If anything devastating happens – i.e. a nuclear/biological attack, economic collapse, etc. – peoples fears will drive them into the arms of the BNPs and Front Nationals of the West.

IOW, the Left refusal to acknowledge reality may be bringing about the ascendence of what it is they fear the most: a resurgent white nationalism.

This election is the first real splintering of the white vote in any significant sense and it was primarily along generational lines.

This is a laughable claim…unless you want to explain how – for the past 62 years – blacks and Latinos have managed to secure Democrat majorities for all but 14 years in the House and 20 in the Senate?

How do you mean?

I mean that the Left is culturally disarming Western Civilization, right under the noses of the vast majority of it’s citizens. Westerners are sleepwalking through history, wrapping themselves in a blanket of false security that eventually – either through economic collapse or foreign aggression – is going to be ripped away from them. And when that happens, they are going to become desperate and susceptible to anyone who can restore immediate order and safety. History shows us that such people are rarely “moderates”.

Eisenhower was a moderate, center-right Republican President and he organised the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

There’s a big difference between enforcing immigration laws that have been established by a representative govt and deporting people because their skin is a different color. The enemy isn’t people, it’s a nihilistic ideology…but when people are starving or dying, those distinctions will be a luxury no one will be interested in hearing about.

I suppose nowadays someone like Eisenhower would be slandered as a Nazi. He was, after all, a German-American.

Yes, you’re probably right: hence, my warning about the Left’s overreaching. Their visceral hatred of anything considered establishment or traditional is leading them to wage war against their own civilization whilst ignoring the ever-approaching barbarians at the gates. Additionally, larger and larger segments of the population are beginning to feel truly disenfranchised from their own culture…that their cultural institutions are overtly hostile to them, their interests, and their beliefs.

Case in point: millions of Americans having to sit back helplessly and watch as one our nation’s primary cultural institutions – our news media – decided that they had to ensure that their choice for the Presidency won an election, not the People’s choice. They had to sit back and watch as the media actively worked to cover and downplay anything that would harm the Left’s choice, whilst at the same time doing everything in their power to undermine and destroy the Right’s choice.

This sort of thing cannot – and will not – stand. The risk comes in when too much fear or too much anger builds up, because the all-too-human reaction has always been “shoot first, ask questions later”. And as always, we are only one big event away, timed at precisely the right moment, from this exploding in front of us.
