If you like nerdy things and don't use your voting power as a weapon against minorities, you'll probably like me. https://t.co/qAgdnBqPx0

I will never get over the fact that Harris tried to run on "Trump will actually do the things he says he will do" and was called a liar by the media.

Welp, I guess it wasn’t a lie.

Hey Veterans, stop voting for politicians that take pictures with you because they want you to think they care but behind the scenes vote against you every time.

When I say Heritage American, this is what I mean: those who are ethno-culturally tied to the ethos and spirit of the United States prior to its definitional transformation into a Propositional Nation after World War II. This therefore includes the type of people that came here during the Ellis Island generation, even if that was a significant sociopolitical mistake. We are also the product of our mistakes as a nation.
It includes the blacks of the Old South (like Booker T Washington), though it repudiates any instinct that some of them have to leverage their experience for the purposes of political guilt in our time. It also includes integrated Native Americans with the same stipulation.
It affirms however the domination and pre-eminence of the European derived peoples, their institutions, and their way of life. Heritage America is centered around the experiences and norms of Anglo-Protestants. It was their customs, their instincts, their priorities, their norms, their struggles, their perspectives, that set the tone and vision of Heritage America. Anything outside of that either assimilated or was killed off.
When we speak of heritage America, we speak of an actual body of institutions created by a nexus of a specific people; dominated and defined by Anglos and their children. It is not an idea, it is a body of actual ways and habits and standards of culture and behavior, connected by a shared experience and the inheritance of that memory. It is communicated by certain aesthetics, certain art, certain, folklore, certain music, and certain symbols. Excludes all of the items in those categories that are not consistent with the character of our version of them.
Once that ethos was liquidated, America was subverted and taken over.
Heritage America has strong ethnic, correlations—and even types of hierarchies— but it is not racially essentialist in an absolutist way (after all we are not social rationalists). However, I should also note that this does not preclude any ethnic consciousness that might be necessary to confront the ethnic consciousness of the left in their own definition of friends and enemies. The point is that heritage America affirms the basic goodness and defensibility of America as it existed prior to World War II and defined itself in light of a shared experience of an actual people, not mere propositions voluntarily assented to.
To support heritage America is to consider all the various factions (Yankee vs Dixie or Whig vs Democrat) as part of our story and Mosaic. In other words, we don’t let outsiders make us pick sides on those things. It is a charming series of tensions that is only appropriate for heritage Americans to debate about. Once we are critiqued by the outsiders, we stand together and affirm the goodness of it all.
Heritage America, of course, is most consistent with anglo Protestantism. But that does not mean that all groups outside of that core are equally dangerous to it. There is a spectrum at play wherein some peoples are less threatening to its ethos than others. There is a high correlation between that spectrum and the broadening circles extending out from Western Europe. Such that peoples like Indians, or South East Asians or Ecuadorians or immigrated Africans are the least capable of fitting in and should be sent home immediately. Whereas groups, like Irish or Italians or Catholics may not fit the original core, but were closer on the spectrum, being Europeans. All politics is contextual and situational.
All that to say, the key period is after World War II. That’s when we transformed from a people with a shared way of life to a propositional nation constituted by mere abstract “values.”

@sinstrays @NadelParis @deNutrients @GadSaad I believe they numbers they are talking about is how many fewer would have died if the US rate of death was the same as the average of other wealthy countries.

Me: Why do you hate Trump?
Progressive: He is a threat to democracy.
Me: How?
Progressive: He has yet to relinquish power.
Me: Really? He's still occupying the White House?
Progressive: No, but he's not conceded.
Me: Has Hillary not repeatedly stated that Trump was an illegitimate president?
Progressive: Well yes, but she said the word "conceded."
Me: What else do you not like about him?
Progressive: He is an existential threat.
Me: How? He was president for four years and it turned out ok.
Progressive: Yes, but it's in the second term that he'll show his Hitlerian colors.
Me: What else?
Progressive: He is not fit to be president. He is crazy.
Me: Is Biden fit to be president in terms of his cognitive acuity?
Progressive: It's impossible to converse with you. You are a right-wing extremist.
