A large portion of the black community has finally woken up under the two Trump presidencies and walked away from the founders of the KKK. Shedding light on the SPLC will also have even more waking up. And think it's taken since the Civil Rights Act for them to finally see they have been being played this whole time.

Indeed. I just posted the below in a thread and the seals don’t like it. They don’t like it because it’s true.

It is interesting/perplexing. They cling to Leftist talking points they picked up on campus (hello?), while arguing until their blue in the face that they're conservative, or at least not liberal or socialist.

I have believed for a long time that the USA's destiny is to one day become a very powerful Radical Totalitarian Internationalist Leftist Socialist Regime that will rule over us with an Iron Fist.

I just read F.A. Hayek’s introduction to The Road to Serfdom. He wrote it during WW2. In it he talks about the socialism gripping the UK, and he points out that it very much resembles the socialism in Germany 25 years earlier. He says that this socialism inevitably leads to authoritarianism as it did in Germany.

The UK turned away from socialism, but the forces of socialism are always at work.

Gen X has heard that trickle down bullshite since Reagan. Millennial and Gen Z are struggling just to have the level of comfort Gen X has enjoyed.

As soon as the fukin boomers finally die off we will be done with this conservative hoax.

Mostly just lurking, this board has become a parody of itself to the point where it’s not even worth engaging most of the time

Yeah why are young people turning away from the system that has done so much for them?

Nick Fuentes had a good video on it today or yesterday. Shifts outward from the center will continue expand in young people (in both directions) as long as the boomer class keeps seeing their own interests.

This “conservative hoax” led to the largest accretion of wealth in the history of the world. And the American working class received a lot of it.

All four of my kids are in their mid to upper thirties, so I know a ton of people in that age group. Every single one who got serious about life in his early twenties, as we boomers did, is knocking it out of the park.

If you aren’t, it’s because you are a pussy.

This revolution was televised. The days of dismissing the Democratic Socialists of America and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani as lightweights are over, after Mamdani-endorsed congressional candidates Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Chevalier obliterated traditional Democrats in this week’s New York primary.

Traditional Democrats are finished. Their card is punched. They will be replaced, or more likely absorbed, by a Mamdani-led Democratic Socialist bureaucracy in short order. Though Mayor Zohran is even more overrated as an orator than Barack Obama or Ronald Reagan, he’s now proven that he possesses their same transformational political skill, as his gambit backing three shaky DSA candidates and easily winning all three hands was a masterstroke, one that did mark “a new era for the Democratic Party,” as CNN analyst Van Jones put it.

It’s not Bernie redux. Vermont’s scruffy Senator Sanders will still be trotted out as a totem, a symbol of the insufficiently ruthless old days, tolerated by the DSA’s humorless young leadership in the same way poor old Stepya Verkhovensky was by the young radicals in Dostoyevsky’s Demons. But Tuesday was not about advancing Bernie’s cause.

What happened this week is being described in many places as a big win for populist or “anti-elite” politics, but it’s the opposite. This was simulteneously a wipeout of Clintonian party hacks and Bernie’s staid F.D.R.-style big tent politics, in favor of a slickly marketed revolution with a young ethnic vibe. The Zohran movement is an obvious elite fixation, built atop the exotically batshit boutique ideas that America’s nitwit rich find thrilling, like publicly funded “gender-affirming care,” “humanity has no borders,” and my personal favorite, “the institution of the family acts as part of the carceral system.”

If the Sanders campaign was a referendum on the presidency of Barack Obama, the Zohran/DSA revolution is a referendum on America itself, led by people who aren’t the least bit embarrassed to tell you they hate this place, to point of viewing our government as an extension of the Israeli state, whose people deserved 9/11. There’s a smorgasbord of statements by DSA folk along those lines, led by charming Mamdani pal Hasan Piker:

That’s the difference between the Sanders movement and this new tidal wave. Sanders loved every inch of Vermont and was desperate to implement ameliorative social reforms he sincerely believed would turn around a country and a government he revered, borders and all. His platform was designed to fit in the American system, only with government acting as a tougher negotiator for the ordinary person.

The Zohran revolution, meanwhile, is a whole-hog, frick-it, real-thing version of Marxian socialism, instantly recognizable to anyone who’s ever lived in a socialist country. Boy, is it selling with our beautiful people, who’ve never met a bad idea they didn’t love:

Zohran Mamdami and the nitwit revolution.

Maga isn't as conservative as true conservatives. It's also not moderate like what y'all call Rinos.
It's the middle of the republican party. Democrats have shifted to where their middle is progressives. They actually have many degrees to the left from there. We'll likely not see another bill Clinton or Kerry or Gore type run off for president again.

Amazing that turnout in New York was only ~10%.


That's the national average for primary elections for both parties.

So NY was totally typical.

If you look into it, you'll see that they are voting out dems who take AIPAC money or otherwise don't align with their goal of the destruction of Israel.

It's basically the Tucker Carlson, Candace Owen wing of the dem party taking over local elections via the typical extremely low turnout for primaries.

Saw on Newsmax, 8,000 D's voted out of 400K appx. for 2 of the winners.

They are spiking the football but only 1-2% of registered voters voted.
