How the Populist Right Can Win the New Class War

#1

Post by Paladin »

There is a lot of good discussion of current political trends here. It's not too much to say that our rights, including our 2A rights hang in the balance:

Pinkerton: Wokery Is Snobbery; How the Populist Right Can Win the New Class War
Thus we see that there’s been a political inversion from the old stereotype of the Republican Party as the party of the rich: Today, Democrats are the plutocrats....

in these new days, that class hostility is helping populist Republicans, who have been repositioning themselves as the home for workers, soldiers, first responders, and homemakers.

....The very emergence of the phrase “donor class” in recent years has been devastating to the interests of the elite. That is, once the big political givers are labeled as the “donor class,” they are nailed—the Jacksonians know who to hate.

...Yet the Republicans’ populist assault on entrenched power is more than just economic: It’s also cultural.

So that’s the formula for Republicans to follow: If the Democrats are now wielding the power of Big Money and Big Culture, then the GOP should play jujitsu. That is, the right should use the left’s arrogant strength against itself.

...Wokeism is well-funded and trendy. But the woke One Percents are nowhere near a majority—and Carville knows it.

So Republicans should build an anti-woke majority coalition—and that’s Carville’s nightmare.

The problem is the "band together" part. I would offer up Jordan Peterson as an example of the sacrificial lamb against the woke establishment. It isn't brought out as clearly as it could be in Peterson's interview with Tucker Carlson for Fox Nation as it could be but Peterson said publicly that he would refuse to use the pronouns that the LGBT types wanted when Canada made it a crime not to use those pronouns. He paid a price for standing alone.

For anyone who hasn't done it, I think joining Fox Nation is worth the investment (disclaimer: I have no financial interest in it - I'm just a satisfied viewer). Carlson's interviews are just part of it. We are also watching Kilmede's history segments.

Some ideas from a different author: Focus Forward
The enemy attacks what it fears, and it fears an organized, independent, grassroots political movement. These independent movements are considered dangerous because they are not controlled by the party bosses and corporate donor class...

Groups like the Texas Constitutionalists and American Majority are mobilizing citizens and their state and local officials to counter Washington’s extra-constitutional plans and intentions. American Majority is training citizens to organize and manage their local grassroots movements. The Texas Constitutionalists are busy advocating HB 1215, a state sovereignty bill that protects Texans, under the penalty of law, from the overreach of Washington’s political enforcers. HB 1215 would effectively enact the concept of nullification at the state level. More red state grassroots movements need to work toward initiatives like these.
