The fact that congressional Democrats would prefer to shut down the government rather than allow that 1/10th of one percent of the federal budget be spent building a wall and otherwise improving security at our southern border, and the fact that a significant portion of the American public was outraged and traumatized by the image of a (MAGA hat-wearing) white teenager smirking at a ridiculous brown provocateur, are both of one piece: Anti-whiteness is the dominant guiding principle of the left today.
Forget for a moment that most of the narrative surrounding the Covington High students has collapsed. Even if everything had gone down exactly as the media initially claimed, consider how absurdly sinister it is that every major news organization in a country of 325 million people decided that a group of teenagers behaving boorishly was the top national news item of the weekend. Just as they decided that it was national news when a Starbucks cafe expelled a couple of loitering blacks. Just as “Permit Patty” and “Barbecue Becky” were national news. Minor incidents like this are national news because the media are a vehicle of the Left, and the Left, above all else, is anti-white.
Whatever the personal motivations behind Nancy Pelosi and the Congressional Democratic leadership’s intransigence against funding a border wall—importing new voters, appeasing donors—the fact is that they have the political cover to do it because their voters are anti-white. Among the Democratic base, reducing the white share of the population is a moral imperative; to a great many of them, it is the moral imperative. When speaker Pelosi says that a border wall is immoral, she is not saying anything radical, she is simply voicing the beliefs of her base. And that belief, and the assumptions behind it, trickle-down in diluted form and color the way most of the country thinks (or does not think) about race. And this is why against all objective common sense, Democrats have held-out against wall funding for over a month now and are not paying a political price.
Watch Anti-White Gaslighting Work
Over the last century or so, the Left’s antagonistic attitude toward whites has evolved from ‘You’re in the way of what we want to do,’ to ‘You’re in the way of what we want to do, and therefore we hate you,’ to ‘You’re in the way of what we want to do. And besides, we hate you.’
No doubt such high-minded ideals are beyond your comprehension, clouded as your thinking is by reptilian tribalism. You probably also think that white privilege is a lie just because business, academia, and the government have been explicitly discriminating against you for over 50 years.
You are probably the kind of guy, when he sees a video of a class of teenagers being vulgarly harassed by one group of grown men while another group of grown men attempt to physically intimidate them, you sympathize with the children, racist bully that you are.
You see the MAGA teen’s dismissive smirk at a ‘tribal elder’ banging a tom-tom in his face, and you imagine that if some paunchy tea partier in breeches and a tricornered hat similarly confronted some kid in a “hope and change” shirt, he would have been lucky to get off with a smirk. And you think that those who were DEVASTATED by the MAGA teen’s smirk are perhaps not well enough to partake in political discourse, but that attitude only highlights your white fragility.
As the left descends to a more primitive intellectual frame, they have come to associate certain words and actions with totemic powers, and it is interesting to consider the origins of these associations. I wonder what the relationship is between their obsession with smirking-while-white and the rise of left-wing late night comedy shows. In those shows, the host’s ironical jack-ass smirk serves as a cue to the audience that he has just devastated the other side’s legitimacy.
So that is their game. By disagreeing with their allegations of systemic white racism, your act of disagreeing proves their point. Noticing that they are unfair means that you are unfair.
Placed next to our arguments, these ideas are idiotic and disgusting. But they are not placed next to our arguments; they are broadcast unchallenged day after day. And yes, the average white American knows the narrative is bullshit, and yet, he thinks there must be something to it.
The media have all day every day to throw stuff at the wall, and some of it is bound to stick, especially among people who are not paying close attention or thinking things through. So the average white guy knows that the media is biased against his kind, that all major institutions discriminate against his kind, and he knows that they cover shamelessly for non-whites. But he has to admit, now that his eyes have been opened to it, he notices another white micro-aggression almost every month.
And what about this redlining thing, that sounds really bad. He knows that as long as he has lived the powers that be have suppressed and demonized white identity, and maybe he thinks it is unfair that other races get to have history months but not whites. And yet the theory that whites alone are afforded the luxury of not having to worry about identity, might strike him (okay, lets be honest, her) as a great profundity.
Interrupting the Campaign Before It Begins
This (and simple demographics) is why we live in a country where a black TA (a grad student lecturer) musing on the possible necessity of killing whites is a non-story, while a white kid not showing due deference to an adult man banging a drum in his face is an outrage. And this is why we live in a country in which the Democrats would shut down the government rather than allow President Trump the spare change needed to build a border wall.
Consider then, how difficult the path to achieving even our most modest political desire: a dramatic reduction in legal immigration.
Still, if Trump really cares about whites, cares about reducing immigration, cares about national unity, I think there is still a way he can win this fight. And that is to propose, not in the State of the Union (whenever that happens), but he should give an oval office address in which he proposes a grand bargain of a green New Deal in return for a massive reduction in legal immigration.

He must be clear that he is willing to go big on the deal. The greater the reduction in legal immigration, the more money that will be invested in green infrastructure. A reduction in immigration to 250,000 a year gets, say, $200 billion a year in green investment, a reduction to 100,000 a year buys $400 billion a year. And whether remaining immigration is tailored toward family reunification, refugees, or economic needs, he should be flexible on that point, as long as the number coming is much lower than now.
When I say a ‘green New Deal,’ I do not have in mind any of the various plans that go by that name. For me here, it is only a stand-in term to mean a very large investment in developing green infrastructure.There are great risks to Trump in this strategy; a large number of GOP congressmen might abandon him, Democrats and the media will say the offer only proves that Trump puts racism above everything else. But then, Trump’s presidency is already in peril. The global economy is slowing, he is losing the PR battle on the shutdown, and he is staring at two years of congressional investigations.
But if he does this thing right—centering his argument on affordable family formation and national unity, and he sticks to it, one way or another he can win.
From one side, the toxic climate that exists against whites means that he still has to be careful, but at the same time, it also gives him cover to go at the left pretty hard. For instance, he can cite every one of the double standards mentioned here, and if he sticks to his guns, rank-and-file Republican voters will back him on them.
Either the Democrats will agree to a deal, which would be great; or, more likely, they resist and he smokes them out once-and-for-all, and whitey will finally understand the true stakes. Even the most wishy-washy white moderate will at last comprehend that the left’s anti-whiteness is not a matter of some overcorrections here and there, it is not an incidental appendage, but that it really is the very essence of the left. So much so that they would rather let the planet burn than to agree to slow down the rate at which whites are replaced in their own land.
